Segmentation
Storage Technology
In the component segment, cloud-based storage segment is expected to grow at a considerable growth rate during the forecast period. Cloud storage stores the data on remote servers, which can be accessed via the internet or cloud. It is maintained, operated, and managed by the cloud storage service providers on virtually built storage servers.
Storage System
Among storage systems, cloud storage segment dominated the next generation storage devices market, and is anticipated to continue its dominance throughout the period, owing to lower costs and easy availability of cloud storage. In cloud storage, digital data is stored in an off-site storage system or a remote server maintained by a third party, and is accessible via the internet.
Over the past few years, cloud storage has gained significant adoption worldwide owing to its cost-effective benefits as compared to conventional storage systems. Cloud storage offers access to the stored data from any location, thus eliminating data portability issues.
Industry Vertical
BFSI
The BFSI segment dominated the global next generation storage devices market, and is expected to continue its dominance. North America and Europe collectively accounted for about 63.0% of the global next generation storage devices industry in BFSI in 2015, with the former constituting around 35.6%.
Increase in the number of smartphones for online transactions, rise in e-commerce activities, growth in national and international trade, and increased need to store large amount of data have fueled the growth of next generation storage devices in the BFSI sector. Further, installation of on-premise deployment and rise in adoption of private and hybrid cloud are anticipated to drive growth of this segment in future.
The government sector is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period in the global next generation storage devices market. The public sector is in need to deliver better services within the allocated budget and with improved quality, hence organizations are focusing on the evolving cloud technology, which can be beneficial in numerous ways at lower costs. Collaboration applications such as web conferencing and emails are the top applications for cloud-based deployments in public sector organizations. In addition, next generation storage devices offer better administration of data, higher productivity, and improved project management and improved content management in the public sector.
