Samsung Electronics was the top global retailer of flash memory products in the first half, according to the company Wednesday.

Samsung's flash memory sales stood at US$7.51 billion in the January-June period, or 30 percent of global flash memory sales, the company said, citing a recent report from market researcher iSuppli.

Flash memory refers to chips used mostly in digital cameras, USB flash drives, cell phones and music players such as Apple's iPod.

Korean rival Hynix Semiconductor came in second, with a 13 percent market share, followed by Micron Technology and Elpida Memory  with shares of 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively.

Samsung's success was attributed largely to strong sales of NAND flash products, standing at $1.42 billion, or 42 percent of all NAND flash memories sold worldwide.

The company was also the No. 1 seller of DRAMs, or dynamic random access memories used in personal computers, in the first half, with sales amounting to $2.05 billion.
