COVID 19 Analysis


The outbreak of the pandemic has had an impact on the digital storage devices market. The virtual working followed by the work-from-home scenario is likely to create issues like data breach and trust issues. The global market manufacturers need to be more inventive in terms of product offering, with the main motive to retain their competitive position in this highly elastic market of data storage devices.


Market Dynamics




  • Drivers




The large internet-based service companies that are functional in various locations have sought out more efficient methods of scaling out a large number of servers with a huge storage, as demand for cloud services grew and are growing tremendously. This advent of cloud computing is likely to have given rise to trends such as enterprise mobility, Big Data, and analytics - which are known to have created increasingly linked data ecosystems, and this is driving the demand for digital data storage capacity based on the digital storage devices market trends. However, the cloud cannot be considered as the end of traditional storage. Instead, cloud storage followed by web-based service providers is requiring more than the normal capacity to store the increasing volume of data and retain the data for longer periods relatively than ever.




  • Restraints




The digital storage devices market size is facing major challenges due to the outbreak and other technical errors that are hampering its growth during the forecast period that will be ending in 2030. Lack of awareness and investment followed by the reduction in research and development is hampering the growth of the market that has been projected for the forecast period that will be ending in 2030.




  • Technology Analysis




There has been a growing demand for digital storage devices market in small businesses is expected to grow exponentially, with regards to interoperability, as storage systems must accommodate various kinds of operating systems. Network-attached storage (NAS), which is emerging basically in the form of a bundle of multiple hard drives and allied software, represents a smart solution for such purposes. The features of a NAS solution of this type are likely to provide small businesses the advantages of cloud computing, such as the ability to easily back up or transfer files to a secondary storage device, alongside the remote access to files via a web browser. NAS, with these propelling capabilities coupled with low costs, represents the future of private cloud storage for small and medium businesses. In response to such dynamic changes in demand from businesses, HDD manufacturers have developed a variety of cost benefits in comparison to an enterprise-class drive and come along with enterprise-class features.
