Computer Storage Devices Global Market Report 2024

The computer storage devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.75 billion in 2023 to $10.34 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.1%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the transition from magnetic tapes to disks, the introduction of hard disk drives (HDDs), the rise of flash memory, advancements in storage capacities, and the impact of Moore's Law.

The computer storage devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.74 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the rise in edge computing, data center modernization, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the expansion of IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and the increased adoption of remote work and cloud storage. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the dominance of solid-state drives (SSDs), the prevalence of cloud-based storage solutions, the expansion of data centers, the integration of artificial intelligence and big data, and the growing requirements for edge computing.

The growth of the computer storage devices market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing number of social media users, necessitating the storage of big data for analytical processing. Big data, comprising vast amounts of structured and unstructured information, requires extensive storage devices, leading to heightened demand in the computer storage devices market. For instance, We Are Social reported in February 2023 that 1 in 3 Australians engages in brand research through social networks, indicating a 7.3% increase from the previous year. The adoption of big data by organizations for targeted audience outreach via social media is thus contributing positively to the computer storage devices market.

The computer storage devices market is expected to experience growth propelled by the expanding information technology (IT) industry. The IT sector, encompassing the creation, management, and application of technology and computer-based systems, plays a significant role in the storage devices market. Advanced technologies integrated into these devices are transforming data management, accessibility, and security, presenting new solutions across various sectors. As of August 2022, the technology sector contributed 8.5% to the GDP in 2021, as reported by Modis. This rise in the information technology industry acts as a driving force for the computer storage devices market.

Challenges such as the risk of crashing, data loss, or data breaches in storage devices dependent on hardware components have limited the market's growth. Factors such as viruses, malware, hard drive damage, theft, and software corruption contribute to these issues. For example, Backblaze Inc. reported in February 2022 an annualized failure rate (AFR) for all drive models in 2021 at 1.01%, slightly higher than the 0.93% in 2020. Such failures result in data loss and increased operational expenses, posing obstacles to the computer storage devices market.

The adoption of SSD (solid-state drive) and flash arrays is a popular trend in the computer storage devices market. SSDs utilize flash memory for data storage, providing faster read and write speeds compared to traditional hard disks, while consuming lower energy. SanDisk, a US-based computer technology corporation, launched new storage devices such as PRO-G40 SSD, G-DRIVE Enterprise Class Desktop Hard Drive, G-RAID Shuttle SSD, and PRO-DOCK 4 in December 2022. These devices cater to the needs of professional content creators, emphasizing high performance, reliability, and scalability.

Major players in the computer storage devices market are innovating by introducing products such as Nexsan EZ-NAS, a network-attached storage (NAS) solution. The EZ-NAS array offers secure data management solutions, catering to various storage needs efficiently and reliably. For instance, StorCentric launched Nexsan EZ-NAS in June 2022, specifically designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise edge deployments.

In January 2023, Microsoft, a US-based technology company, acquired Fungible for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition reflects Microsoft's focus on enhancing data center infrastructure, particularly in networking and storage performance. Fungible, a technology company, specializes in developing data processing unit (DPU) hardware and software solutions for high-performance, scalable, and disaggregated data center infrastructure.
