Transcend Information and Silicon Power Computer & Communications, two Taiwan-based memory module manufacturers with less focus on DRAM modules, have reported more than 20% sequential growth in June revenues.
  Consolidated revenues at Transcend increased 24.9% sequentially to NT$2.35 billion (US$78.2 billion) in June 2013, while Silicon Power's sales grew 21.1% on-month to NT$681 million.
  Transcend's sales generated from flash-based products accounted for 59.4% of June revenues, followed by its industrial and strategic product segment with 28.7%. DRAM modules made up the remaining 11.9% in the month.
  Transcend reiterated its commitment to developing its industrial memory product line, such as rugged SSD modules, which will help the company generate a higher gross margin and better profitability.
  Silicon Power has as high as 80% of company revenues come from its NAND flash devices. The company's consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2013 totaled NT$1.79 billion, rising 6.1% on quarter.
  Silicon Power indicated that a seasonal pick-up in smartphone and tablet sales will stimulate demand for flash-based devices and peripherals in the second half of 2013. The firm also expressed optimism about the outlook for NAND-chip prices in the latter half of the year.
  Fellow memory module companies Adata Technology and Apacer Technology saw their June sales decreased 6.8% and 1%, respectively, on month. Both firms have about 50% of their revenues come from the sale of DRAM modules.
