Enterprise SSD Market

Enterprise SSD Market Outlook – 2030 

The global enterprise SSD market size was valued at $17.85 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $46.89 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.2% from 2021 to 2030. An enterprise solid-state drive (SSD) is a device that stores information persistently and caches data temporarily in nonvolatile semiconductor memory or NAND-based flash memory. Enterprise SSD is intended to store servers, storage systems, and direct-attached storage devices. 

The Component segment has been adversely impacted by the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic.

Solid-state drivers use dynamic random-access memory or NAND-based flash memory solution to store data. Furthermore, SSDs do not have moving mechanical components, which increases their service life, thereby making them resilient to mechanical failure. SSDs in enterprises and data centers facilitate faster and more efficient read/write processes, which offer highly reliable data storage solution.  

The growth of the global enterprise SSD market is driven by superior performance, high throughput, and enhanced power efficiency of enterprise SSD. In addition, rapid changes high-end cloud applications significantly impacting the adoption of SSD solutions for data center applications. In addition, NAND-based flash memory solution is witnessing significant demand from enterprises, owing to its high endurance, low cost, and faster storage with low error rate, which propel the need for SSD solution in enterprises, globally. 

The enterprise SSD market is expected to witness notable growth during the forecast period, owing to rise in penetration of high-end cloud computing in enterprises, globally. Furthermore, surge in adoption of data center application in enterprises drives the growth of the market. Moreover, rapid surge in utility of SSD over HDD in key industry verticals is expected to propel the market growth. However, high cost associated with implementation of SSD solution acts as a key restraint of the market. On the contrary, surge in unstructured data with real-time analysis is expected to provide lucrative opportunity for growth of the enterprise SSD market. 

The emergence of COVID-19 has declined the growth rate of the enterprise SSD market in 2020. Further, the market during COVID-19 was primarily hit by several obstacles, including the availability of resources, health & safety measures, deliverables, contractual obligations, and project delays or cancellations. Conversely, surge in demand for security and the cloud computing solution is projected to drive market growth during the forecast period. 

Segment Overview

The enterprise SSD market is segmented into technology, storage, interface, enterprise size, application, and region. On the basis of technology, the market is fragmented into single-level cell, multi-level cell (planar and 3D), and triple-less cell (Planar and 3D). The triple-level cell segment dominated the market, in terms of revenue in 2020, and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period. By enterprise size, the market is bifurcated into small & medium enterprises and large enterprise. The large enterprises segment garnered the highest share in 2020, and is expected to grow at a high CAGR from 2021 to 2030. 

Depending on storage, the market is segregated into under 500GB, 500GB-3TB and over 3TB. The under 500GB segment was the highest revenue contributor in 2020, and is anticipated to garner significant market share during the forecast period. By interface, the market is segregated into SATA, SAS, and PCIe. SATA segment garnered the highest share in 2020, and is expected to grow at a notable CAGR from 2021 to 2030. The applications covered in the study include high-performance computing and datacenter servers. The datacenter servers led the market, in terms of revenue, in 2020, and is anticipated to acquire significant market share during the forecast period. 

Region wise, the enterprise SSD market trends are analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa). North America is expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. In North America, the U.S. remains a significant participant in the global enterprise SSD market. This is attributed to the fact that major organizations and government institutions in the country are intensely putting resources into the technology.

Top Impacting Factors

Significant factors that impact the growth of the global enterprise SSD industry include reduction in average selling price (ASP) of NAND-based flash memory coupled with surge in adoption of data center application. However, rise in concerns over cost as well as service life of SSDs acts as the major barrier for their early adoption, which hampers the growth of the global market. On the contrary, high demand from the high-end cloud segment and higher utility of SSD over HDD in key verticals are anticipated to provide remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the enterprise SSD market growth during the forecast period.
