sd cards

The worldwide flash sd cards market continues to grow at a strong pace, largely driven by the tremendous growth in mobile phones and an increase in compelling content in portable devices. Miniaturized form factors, such as SDmicro and MMCmicro, will help the industry grow further, especially as the digital still camera (DSC) market reaches its point of maturity this year. Mobile phones will account for 87％ of total flash memory card shipments in 2010. China's export of sd cards and readers totaled US$1.4 billion in 2006, a year-on-year growth of almost 60％. This momentum is expected to continue as more makers expand their production capacities to serve emerging markets.
