External Hard Disk Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape

The growing popularity of external SSDs is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the emergence of cloud storage services may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key External Hard Disk Market Driver

The growing popularity of external SSDs is notably driving the market growth. An SSD is an electronic disk that is used for data storage. SSDs use the same input/output interface design as HDDs and store data in solid-state memory. They are made of silicon microchips and store data electronically. These devices use dynamic RAM- or NAND-based flash memory to store data.

Furthermore, the absence of moving components reduces the chance of mechanical failures in SSDs. In addition, SSDs are capable of withstanding harsh environments, high altitudes, and extreme shock. The application of these devices include PCs, laptops, ultra-books, smart TVs, servers, HD camcorders, set-top boxes, digital video recorders, and gaming consoles. Hence, such benefits will drive global market growth during the forecast period. 

Significant External Hard Disk Market Trend

Enhanced biometrics-based security is an emerging trend in the market. External hard disks with fingerprint sensors are becoming increasingly popular among end-users for storing and securely transferring data. Security is one of the features that is a primary requirement because an external hard disk is used to store large amounts of files and important and confidential data.

Vendors offering external hard disks with data security features are expected to witness growth during the forecast period. For instance, in January 2020, Samsung launched an external SSD with a built-in fingerprint reader for extra security. Hence, the growing focus of vendors on the development of biometric-based external hard disks is likely to encourage the growth of the global market during the forecast period. 

Major External Hard Disk Market Challenge

The emergence of cloud storage services is a major challenge impeding the market growth. Consumers are increasingly choosing the cloud for their storage needs as it allows for the storage of large data sets of any type. Cloud storage offers more benefits than external hard disks, such as the ability to retrieve data from virtually anywhere, collaborate more effectively by accessing the same data and tools, and disaster recovery and backup strategies, which may restrict the growth of the market in focus on a large scale during the forecast period.

Additionally, cloud storage service providers such as Dropbox, Yandex Disk, Media Fire, and Mega now provide clients with free cloud storage, reducing the need for external hard disks. Therefore, such factors will hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period. 

Key External Hard Disk Market Customer Landscape

APAC is estimated to contribute 41% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.

The market in APAC is growing primarily due to the presence of a large number of PC manufacturers in the region, such as HP, Dell Technologies, Acer Group, Lenovo, and Asus. Another major reason driving the market growth is the demand for external hard disks in the consumer electronics industry has expanded significantly as a result of rapid technological advancements. Furthermore, the growth of the market in APAC will be significant, as APAC is the hub for consumer electronics.

Additionally, many prominent vendors focus on launching products with advanced technologies to gain more market share. For instance, in September 2020, Toshiba introduced Canvio Flex portable storage, which has up to 4TB of storage and comes with both USB-C and USB-A cables, allowing users to store and access their data on multiple devices such as Mac computers, Windows PCs, and support tablet devices. Therefore, all the abovementioned factors will drive the regional market growth during the forecast period. 

In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak had a significant impact on the economic growth in APAC. However, at the beginning of 2021, most countries started their vaccination drives and lifted lockdowns which helped resume business activities across the region. This will further aid the recovery and growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
