Kioxia Corporation

Kioxia Corporation is a Japanese multinational computer memory manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kioxia Holdings Corporation, the company's mission is to "uplift the world with 'memory'." Kioxia traces its origins to the invention of NAND flash memory in 1987 by its predecessor, Toshiba Memory Corporation, from which it was spun off and rebranded in October 2019.

Kioxia Corporation specializes in the development, production, and sale of flash memory and solid-state drives (SSDs). Its product portfolio includes 3D flash memory (BiCS FLASH™), UFS & e-MMC solutions, SLC NAND Flash Memory, XL-FLASH (Storage Class Memory), as well as consumer-grade SD memory cards and USB flash drives. These memory solutions are integral to various market segments, including smartphones, personal computers, enterprise servers, data centers, automotive applications, and industrial equipment. Kioxia is recognized as one of the world's largest manufacturers of NAND flash memory, holding approximately a 14% global market share as of 2024.

Recent developments at Kioxia include the introduction of new mainstream KIOXIA BG8 Series SSDs for PC OEMs in April 2026, which feature the PCIe Gen5 interface and 8th-generation BiCS FLASH TLC 3D flash memory. The company also unveiled value-oriented QLC-based KIOXIA EG7 Series SSDs in April 2026. Kioxia continues to focus on advancing AI technologies through high-capacity storage solutions, as demonstrated by its achievement of a 4.8 Billion High-Dimensional Vector Search Database on a single server and the announcement of new SSD models optimized for AI GPU-initiated workloads in March 2026.
