In the third quarter of this year, Toshiba increased its global NAND flash market share from 29.4 to 34.6 per cent, in terms of the revenue raised, reports iSuppli.
A notable area where the supplier has been successful is in its three-bit-per-cell parts, which is a form of multi-level cell technology often used in consumer storage media.
Michael Yang, senior analyst of memory and storage for iSuppli, highlighted expanded capacity as a key feature of Toshiba's strong performance.
He added: "The company was able to expand its shipments. Furthermore, the company is the leader in production of three-bit-per-cell parts, which have lower manufacturing costs, thus improving profitability."
Last week, the market research firm predicted that the LED market could double between 2009 and 2013.
