Kingston Technology Company, Inc. has been ranked the top third-party DRAM module supplier globally, retaining its number one position with an estimated 62% market share. According to Trend Force, the global DRAM module market generated approximately $21.2 billion in revenue in 2025, representing a 59% year-over-year increase. Kingston's revenue grew 48% year-over-year in 2025, reinforcing its leadership in a market where the top five suppliers accounted for 77% of total revenue.

The market expansion was driven by rising DRAM prices and stronger shipment volumes, particularly in the second half of the year. Early in 2025, manufacturers increased DDR4 inventory due to tariff concerns and end-of-life plans. Later, growing demand from cloud service providers supporting agentic AI workloads significantly increased server DRAM consumption, reducing availability for PC applications and contributing to higher memory prices.

Kingston's investments in supply allowed the company to strategically manage inventory throughout 2025, supporting channel demand as DRAM costs increased. Trend Force noted that manufacturers increasingly focused on industrial and enterprise server markets while accelerating the transition to DDR5-based product portfolios. Kingston continues to expand its comprehensive memory offerings across consumer, enterprise, industrial, and data center applications.

Kristy Ernt, DRAM business manager at Kingston, stated that maintaining leadership reflects the company's long-term strategy, strong supplier relationships, and commitment to serving customers worldwide.
