Overview
Data storage is the process of recording information in a storage medium such as compact disc, cloud, memory card, HDD, SDD, and more. Electronic data storage needs electric power to store and retrieve data. Technological advancements in information and social technology have led to growth in data storage. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly leveraging big data and the internet of things (IoT)-enabled services to expand their presence in the storage market. GCC and Levant data storage market focuses on two major regions namely GCC and Levant.
The GCC and Levant data storage market was valued US$ 2,937.5 Mn in 2019 and expected to reach US$ 8,556.4 Mn by 2027.
Market Driver
Constantly declining prices of consumer storage devices are expected to boost growth of the GCC and Levant data storage market during the forecast period
Continuously declining prices of consumer storage devices such as SDD and HDD are major driving factors for market growth. Technological advancements in 3D NAND technology has been key in the consumer storage industry. As a result of this, SDD capacities have significantly increased, while its prices have reduced. Growing presence of regional players in the market is further cementing competition and in turn, reducing average selling prices of consumer storage devices. Hence, these factors are expected to support the GCC and Levant data storage market growth over the forecast period.
Market Opportunity
High growth of storage flash array market can provide major business opportunities
Storage flash arrays are storage systems that contain solid-state units rather than a hard disk. Flash-based devices minimize data access time and enhance an application’s performance speed. Data storage solutions vendors are expected to leverage huge benefits from the growing storage flash array market owing to the demand for solid-state drives (SSD) and memory cards.
Market Restraint
Rising complexities created by data-incentive applications are expected to restrain growth of the GCC and Levant data storage market during the forecast period
Data-intensive applications such as simulation and modeling create huge amounts of complex data. In order to store and process this data, high-performance solutions that can manage escalating data capacities are of utmost importance. Hence, vendors in the enterprise data storage market have an opportunity to introduce high-performance computing solutions with
