The solid state drives market is expected to grow from US$ 53,829.6 million in 2021 to US$ 143,557.0 million by 2029; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.0% during 2022 to 2029.

Increasing Penetration of High-End Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is rapidly becoming one of the most popular methods for businesses and individuals to back up and preserve their data. With the growing variety of cloud platforms-from classic corporate private and new public clouds to personal clouds in homes—the need for SSDs has constantly been expanding. SSDs featuring new interfaces such as PCIe, NVMe, and others have emerged due to technological improvements in solid state storage. PCIe SSDs for cloud computing are becoming more popular due to improved capabilities such as high speed and quick data access. New PCIe SSDs provide excellent performance with low latency and high frequency. A Solid state drive with these capabilities is necessary for various sophisticated activities in data-sensitive businesses like financial services, medical sciences, and energy management, where each microsecond of latency results in a significant revenue loss. Solid state drives, or SSDs as they are more frequently known, are storage devices that rely on memory. Traditional hard disc drives differ from SSDs because they lack magnetic storage and, more significantly, moving parts.

Several big firms manage their cloud platforms and respond to their clients' increased demand for SSDs. For example, Google employs permanent SSD storage for compute engine users in open beta, delivering high-input/output operations per second (IOPS) and allowing Google cloud platform customers to use SSDs faster on workloads. Compared to standard magnetic media, these activities allow faster delivery of input/output (I/O) and are less redundant. Facebook Inc. employs PCIe flashcards instead of hard drives for its MySQL databases to take advantage of FusionIO's logging system, which preserves data in the event of a power outage. Compared to HDD storage, this has resulted in a 50% reduction in latency and a 33% increase in throughput. SSDs aid in the reduction of infrastructure costs and the improvement of response times. For mega-clouds and virtualized servers, SSDs provide significantly more inputs and outputs (I/Os).

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Solid State Drives Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected several industries worldwide in a negative manner. The tremendous growth in the spread of the virus has urged governments worldwide to impose strict restrictions on vehicles and human movement. Due to travel bans, mass lockdowns, and business shutdowns, the pandemic has affected economies and countless industries in various countries. The lockdown imposition has resulted in the lesser production of commodities, goods, and services. Manufacturing, automotive, electronics & semiconductor, oil & gas, mining, aviation, and other industries have witnessed a decline in their operations due to the temporary shutdown of activities.

The worldwide lockdown to minimize the transmission of the virus has significantly disrupted the supply chain activities, along with production volume across several manufacturers, especially the small & medium enterprise owners. The semiconductor industry took a significant hit as the demand for electronic components lowered from the industrial sector and end users. The revenue model for microelectronics has declined as no mass production was carried during the lockdown period. Post lockdown, the semiconductor industry started to regain the market share as production facilities restarted the operation by taking social distancing measures. Besides, work from home and remote monitoring strategies also helped increase the sale of advanced electronics products for better connectivity. The IT and telecommunication industry's importance has been highlighted for the communicational purpose, which allowed the industry to evolve with new technologies such as IoT connectivity and high-speed wi-fi compatible packaging technology. COVID-19 significantly impacted the semiconductor industry in the first half of 2020. According to The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), worldwide sales increased by around 11% in the third quarter. The increasing demand for small form factor-based electronics devices specifically for health monitoring and smartphones augmented the market growth.

Solid State Drives Market Insights

The rise in the utility of solid state drives worldwide and advancement in integration of next-generation technologies such as artificial intelligence in the industrial sector further drive the market. Single packaged SSDs decrease the size of IoT (Internet of Things) devices. Owing to distinct rules, norms, regulations, and policies of different countries, trade barriers in this market may act as a restraining factor to a certain extent. Among all the regions, the North American region is a quick adopter of all the latest technological advancements in the electronics & semiconductor industry.

Major countries in the North American region like the US, Canada, and Mexico find wide use of SSD across numerous domains such as networking, telecommunication, industrial, automotive, aerospace, defense, and consumer electronics. Most of the countries in Asia Pacific are still in developing states and are not as developed as the countries in the west. However, with growing disposable income, demand for vehicles and consumer electronics products is expected to rise substantially in various countries such as Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, China, and the Philippines. This drives the requirement for respective SSD needed in vehicles, personal computers, laptops, tablets, notebooks, smart wearables , etc.

The rapidly growing media & entertainment industry in Asia Pacific is significantly contributing toward the market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the production operations; however, the demand for solid state drives for connective medical devices remained intact. From the last quarter of 2020, the supply chain has started reviving. The solid state drives market is anticipated to grow notably worldwide in the coming years.  

Type-Based Market Insights

Based on type, the global SSD market is segmented into external and internal. The internal segment dominated the market, accounting for 73.2% market share and is expected to capture 70.8% by 2029. Internal SSDs, also known as internal Solid state drives, are noted for their instant-load performance, which results in faster boot times, application loading times, and overall system responsiveness. An SSD is typically used as a storage solution and as a replacement for hard disc drives. Solid state drives are far more efficient than traditional HDDs since they have access speeds of 35 to 100 microseconds, which is 100 times faster than regular HDDs. SSDs use flash memory to store data instead of moving parts, ensuring improved performance and reliability.

Technology-Based Market Insights

Based on technology, the SSD market is segmented into single level cell, multi-level cell, and triple layer cell.

In terms of market share, the market was dominated by the SLC segment, which accounted for more than 43.5% of the total market share in 2022 and is expected to be at more than 38.0% of the market share by 2029. Solid state SSDs with SLC hold only one bit of data per cell. As a result, the data can be written and retrieved faster because the cell stores either a 0 or a 1. With 100,000 P/E cycles, SLC delivers the best performance and endurance, allowing it to last longer than other forms of SSD. However, because of its low data density, SLC is the most expensive type of SSD, and hence, it is rarely employed in consumer electronics. It is commonly utilized in servers and other industrial applications where speed and endurance are required.

Players operating in the solid state drives market adopt strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, and market initiatives to maintain their positions in the market. A few developments by key players are listed below:
