The Embedded Multimedia Card (eMMC) is a storage technology established by the MMC Association. This architecture standard integrates MMC components (flash memory plus controller) into a small Ball Grid Array (BGA) package, forming an embedded non-volatile memory system primarily used on printed circuit boards. The eMMC card is a permanent board attachment and cannot be removed arbitrarily by the user. If issues occur with the memory or its controller, it may become necessary to replace the entire PCB. Prior to 2016, nearly all manufactured mobile phones and tablets employed this form of main storage until UFS gradually began to capture the market in 2016. Universal Flash Storage (UFS) is a high-performance interface designed for applications that require minimized power consumption, including mobile systems such as smartphones and tablets as well as automotive applications, where its high-speed serial interface and optimized protocol can significantly enhance throughput and system performance.

Both eMMC and UFS play important roles in various electronic devices. In the smartphone sector, eMMC is adopted in low-cost and mid-range devices due to its cost-effectiveness, whereas UFS is widely used in high-end and flagship models for its superior performance and efficiency—a trend that is gradually extending to mid-range devices. In tablets, eMMC is preferred for devices sensitive to space, power consumption, and cost because of its integrated advantages, while UFS is increasingly popular in high-end and mid-range tablets due to its performance and efficiency merits. Smart TVs commonly use eMMC for storing firmware, operating systems, and applications, while UFS further improves performance by providing fast and reliable storage. In the smart wearable sector, eMMC and UFS provide cost-effective and high-performance storage solutions respectively based on the device’s performance and capacity requirements. Moreover, these two storage technologies are widely applied in the automotive industry to support in-vehicle systems and functionalities. Additional applications include digital cameras, camcorders, and industrial systems that cater to diverse storage needs.

According to the new market research report “Global Embedded Multimedia Card (eMMC) Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031”, published by Global Info Research, the global eMMC and UFS market size is projected to reach USD 8.02 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period.
