Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Global Market Report 2024

The global virtual desktop infrastructure market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $16.31 billion in 2023 to $19.21 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including the growing emphasis on security and compliance needs, the demand for device agnosticism, considerations related to disaster recovery and business continuity, the flexibility in application delivery, cost efficiency measures, and an increase in support for legacy applications.

The global virtual desktop infrastructure market is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rise of hybrid work models, an increased focus on user experience, growing concerns about cybersecurity, a heightened emphasis on environmental sustainability, and the importance of cross-platform compatibility. Key trends in the forecast period include the increased adoption of remote work solutions, a focus on Desktop as a Service (DaaS), the rise of cloud-based VDI, a strong emphasis on security and data privacy, integration with endpoint security solutions, and the incorporation of AI and automation in VDI management. These trends reflect the evolving landscape of virtual desktop infrastructure to meet the changing needs and priorities of businesses and users.

The expansion of digital transformation initiatives is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market. Digital transformation involves the modernization or creation of organizational processes and services through digital technologies to align with evolving market dynamics. VDI implementation is a crucial component of this strategy, offering advantages such as facilitating remote or telecommuting work setups for employees and cost savings by obviating the need for new hardware purchases. For example, in May 2022, Digital Commerce 360 projected a substantial investment of $4.4 trillion in digital transformation endeavors by US and international companies, with ongoing increases expected. Consequently, the surge in digital transformation initiatives underpins the growth of the virtual desktop infrastructure market.

The notable increase in remote work practices is poised to drive the growth trajectory of the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market. Remote work involves employees operating outside traditional office settings, often from their residences or alternative locations. VDI technology plays a pivotal role in enabling secure, scalable, and flexible infrastructures, facilitating employees' access to their desktop environments from diverse locations. As per reports by Forbes Media LLC in June 2023, 12.7% of full-time employees are anticipated to work remotely, with 28.2% adopting a hybrid work model. By 2025, an estimated 32.6 million Americans are forecasted to engage in remote work. Hence, the surge in remote work practices serves as a catalyst for the growth of the virtual desktop infrastructure market.

Innovations in product offerings stand out as a prominent trend within the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market, enabling businesses to remain competitive and continually enhance their services. Key industry players are focused on introducing pioneering services, such as the Click-to-Run solution, aimed at enhancing the computing experience for remote end-users. Notably, in April 2022, TD Synnex introduced Click-to-Run, a managed virtual desktop and remote desktop solution catering to business needs. This solution empowers users to access their desktops and applications from any location and device by leveraging an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment hosted on Microsoft Azure. The Click-to-Run solution simplifies the deployment and management of cloud-based virtual desktops, aligning with client demands for efficient remote work solutions and positioning itself as an innovative offering within the VDI market.

Major players within the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market are actively developing cutting-edge technological solutions to meet the escalating demand for remote work and hybrid environments. An example of such innovation is Amazon WorkSpaces Core, a fully managed VDI service introduced to address these needs. This new offering by Amazon Web Services (AWS) enables users to efficiently provision and manage virtual desktops on the AWS infrastructure. Launched in September 2022, Amazon WorkSpaces Core stands out as a comprehensive VDI solution, catering to businesses of varying sizes. Its key attributes include cost-effectiveness, robust security measures, scalability, and a consistent user experience. These features collectively position it as an appealing choice for organizations aiming to modernize their VDI infrastructure and empower their workforce in a cloud-based environment.

In July 2021, Microsoft Corporation executed the acquisition of CloudKnox Security Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move was aimed at bolstering privileged access management (PAM) capabilities, reinforcing multi-cloud security measures, and expanding expertise in cloud security. CloudKnox Security Inc., a US-based platform specializing in multi-cloud permissions management, offers virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) services, aligning with Microsoft's vision for enhancing its cloud security offerings.
