This industry research report identifies Kingston Technology, Micron, Samsung, Toshiba, and Western Digital as the key vendors in the global serial attached storage (SAS) and solid-state drive (SSD) market. This industry research report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by end-user (enterprise and client) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).
Overview of the global serial attached storage (SAS) solid-state drive (SSD) market
Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global serial attached storage (SAS) solid-state drive (SSD) market will grow steadily over the next four years and post a CAGR of more than 4% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the growing requirement for cloud-based data centers as one of the key growth factors of the SAS SSD market. Owing to the benefits such as security, reliability, scalability, and cost reduction, organizations are increasingly focused on using cloud-based data centers to store ample amount of information on a daily basis. Moreover, consumers also prefer the use of popular cloud service providers such as Amazon web service, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to meet their increasing business demands. This extensive use of cloud-based data centers will create a significant need for data storage systems, which will stimulate the growth of the SAS SSD market over the next few years.
In addition to the growing requirement for cloud-based data centers, the emergence of 3D NAND will also influence the growth of the market. NAND flash device architectures are one dimensional, which allows the storage of more data by increasing the density. Due to its benefits such as better endurance and the consumption of less power, the vendors are making huge investments towards the development of 3D NAND and pci ssd card. This will increase the storage capacity beyond the size of the hard drives of SAS SSD and subsequently fuel the growth of the PCIE solid state drive (SSD) market.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The SAS SSD market is characterized by the presence of a limited number of players. The vendors in the market have a strong foothold and are focusing on innovations to keep up the pace with technology. The presence of vendors with a strong customer base who control the supply chain and have a high penetration in the application segments poses as major barriers for new players to enter the PCIE solid state drive (SSD) market . The vendor competition in the market is low and with the key players focusing on acquiring smaller market vendors, the market will get further consolidated in the coming years.
The leading vendors in the market are –
- Kingston Technology
- Micron
- Samsung
- Toshiba
- Western Digital
Market segmentation by end-user and analysis of the SAS SSD market
- Enterprise
- Client
During 2016, the enterprise segment accounted for the major shares of the global SAS SSD market. The growing adoption of cloud-based data center is promoting the growth of the PCIE solid state drive (SSD) market in this segment. Moreover, the increasing adoption of SSD for mission critical application as an alternative to HDD and the rapid technological advances in flashed-based array offering are also propeling the adoption of SAS among end-users in this segment.
