688766.SSFounded 2016Reviewed 2026-08-30

Puya Semiconductor (Shanghai) was founded in January 2016 in Shanghai's Zhangjiang hub and listed on the STAR Market in August 2021 (688766). A fabless designer, it is one of China's leading suppliers of NOR Flash and EEPROM, which together made up 68.02% of FY2025 main-business revenue, and it extends from 'storage' into 'storage+' products such as 32-bit MCUs and memory-plus-analog combos. FY2025 revenue reached a record RMB 2.32 billion (+28.62%). In 2025-2026 Puya acquired SLC NAND supplier SHM (a former SK hynix/Cypress joint venture, fourth-largest SLC NAND vendor globally in 2024) through its controlled platform Noah Changtian, moving toward full ownership.

About

Fabless design and sales of non-volatile memory (NOR Flash, EEPROM, SLC NAND via SHM) and 'storage+' products (MCUs, analog-combined memory), differentiated on ultra-low power and high reliability for phones, wearables, IoT and automotive. Growth in FY2025 came from share gains and the supply-demand gap as large vendors reallocated capacity; the SHM acquisition adds system-level engineering and NAND capability.

Founded 2016

Why it matters

Puya is the mid-sized Chinese challenger to GigaDevice, WINBOND and Macronix in serial NOR, and to ST, onsemi and Giantec in EEPROM. Its staged buyout of SHM from an SK hynix subsidiary is a notable case of a Chinese listed designer acquiring an international SLC NAND franchise (global #4, ~9% share in 2024), reshaping the niche-memory landscape.
