The widespread use of smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices is driving robust demand for higher storage capacities. NAND flash is increasingly being used in data centers to power the growth in cloud computing and the need for massive data storage.
The market is expected to be driven by the rising demand for storage in consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and SSDs. Increasing utilization of multimedia-rich content and huge storage requirements of next-generation technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality will augment the demand for NAND flash memory. Expanding use of flash storage in automotive electronics is another key factor expected to support the market growth over the forecast period.
Rapid growth of digital data
The demand for digital storage has been growing exponentially over the past decade driven by the proliferation of digital content across various formats such as photos, videos, documents, and others. As individuals and businesses create and consume more digital content than ever before, the need for large storage capacity also rises. NAND flash memory has emerged as one of the most widely adopted non-volatile storage technologies to meet this demand due to its small size, high storage density, fast read and write speeds. Over the years smartphone manufacturers have focused on offering higher storage variants to enable consumers to store massive libraries of high resolution photos and videos on their phones. Similarly the popularity of smart home devices, Internet of Things, cloud computing, and data centers has fueled the need for flash storage to handle huge amounts of digital data being generated every minute. Advancements in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality, autonomous vehicles, etc. are also anticipated to be major data generators in the future. All of this digital transformation is expected to vastly increase the worldwide data footprint and propel flash memory market growth over the coming years.
Mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs) have long been the preferred mass storage solution for personal computers owing to their large capacities and low costs. However HDDs are becoming outdated as solid state drives (SSDs) based on NAND flash memory offer compelling advantages of higher performance, lower power consumption, and robustness. SSDs deliver significantly faster read/write times compared to spinning HDD platters which is essential for modern day computing applications and experiences. Their resistance to physical shock and absence of moving parts also make SSDs more durable and reliable. As SSD capacities increase while costs decline at a rapid pace driven by technological advancements, an increasing number of desktops, laptops, and even enterprise servers are expected to adopt all-flash configurations. Major PC Original Equipment Manufacturers have already moved to primarily offering SSD configurations. The transition from HDDs to SSDs as the dominant storage media will benefit NAND flash suppliers and drive further demand for high capacity flash products across application segments in the upcoming decade.
