SSD Controller Market

SSD Controller Market Outlook – 2030

The global SSD controller market size was valued at $14.12 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $53.01 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 14.4% from 2021 to 2030.  

SSD controller is a processor that includes electronics designed to bridge the flash memory components to the host SSD input/output interfaces or computer. It is an embedded processor that delivers high performance with low cost and power efficiency. SSD controller embedded processor is designed to execute firmware-level software coding. Furthermore, an SSD controller is an electrical component contained within a single integrated circuit (IC). The SSD controller embedded processor contains 16 or 32-bit microcontroller. Moreover, SSD controllers hoist electrical interfaces such as SATA, USB, SAS, NAND, or the combination of these interfaces. With the upswing in industrial-grade storage systems, SSD controller solutions are witnessing rise in NAND flash system design, owing to an upsurge in data transactions between the host interface and NAND flash arrays. Moreover, the emergence of 3D NAND technology has modernized the electronic storage solution market, and is expected to drive the growth of the SSD controller market in the coming years. 

SSD controller consists of two prime components for its functioning, flash controller, which can manage up to 512 GB of flash, and DRAM controller that can manage up to 256 MB of DRAM. Further, phison e12 is primarily used in NVME controller based high end consumer and enterprise SSD solution. In addition, SSD controller-based NAND 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 controller market, globally. 

The SSD controller market share is expected to witness notable growth during the forecast period, owing to emergence of 3D NAND technology. Furthermore, surge in adoption of cloud computing technology in enterprise drives growth of the market during the forecast period. Moreover, surge in demand for cloud-based data centers is expected to propel the SSD controller market growth.

However, high cost associated with SSD application is expected to restrain the market growth. In addition, surge in demand for public cloud storage solutions is expected to provide lucrative opportunity for growth of the SSD controller market forecast.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The emergence of COVID-19 has declined the growth rate of the SSD controller 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 the SSD controller market growth during the forecast period.

Segment Overview

The SSD controller market is segmented based on form factor, interface, technology, and end user. On the basis of form factor, the market is fragmented into 2.5, 3.5, M.2, U.2/SFF 8639, and FHHL/HHHL. The 2.5 dominated the market, in terms of revenue in 2020, and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period. Based on interface, the market is segregated into SATA, SAS, and PCIe. The SATA segment was the highest revenue contributor in 2020, and is anticipated to garner significant market share during the forecast period. Based on technology, the market is fragmented into SLC, MLC (Planer and 3D), and TLC (Planer and 3D). The MLC segment dominated the market, in terms of revenue in 2020, and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period. By end user, the market is fragmented into enterprise, client, industrial, and automotive. The enterprise segment was the major share contributor in 2020, and is expected to grow at a high CAGR from 2021 to 2030.

Region wise, the SSD controller market trends are analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa). North America is expected to develop at highest rate during the forecast period. North America, specifically the U.S., remains a significant participant in the global market. Major organizations and government institutions in the country are intensely putting resources into the technology. 

Top Impacting Factors

Significant factors that impact growth of the global SSD controller market include increase in adoption of cloud computing technology coupled with surge in demand for cloud-based data center. Further, emergence of 3D NAND technology is expected to drive the market growth. However, high cost associated with data center applications is acting as a major barrier for early adoption, which hampers the growth of the market. On the contrary, surge in demand for public cloud storage solutions is anticipated to provide remunerative opportunities for expansion of the SSD controller industry during the forecast period.
