“SATA interface is expected to lead the solid state drives during the forecast period”

SATA is expected to account for the highest share of the solid state drives market during the forecast period. The old desktop PCs support only the SATA interface for upgrading to SSDs from HDDs, which is expected to drive the growth of the market for SSDs with SATA interface. Further, lower pricing of SATA than that of SAS and PCIe interfaces is also contributing to the growth of this market.

“The market for SSDs with PCIe interface is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2022”

The market for SSDs with PCIe interface is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the advantages of PCIe, which include high speed, enhanced performance scaling, and detailed error detection & reporting. Thus, the demand for SSDs with PCIe interface is expected to increase from the client as well as enterprise end users.

“APAC is expected to witness a rapid growth during the forecast period”

The SSDs market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2022. This growth can be attributed to the high IT infrastructure expenditures in countries such as China, South Korea, India, and Taiwan. In addition, the expanding customer base of companies in APAC that provide SSDs and growth in the consumer electronics (such as notebooks/laptops, tablets, and desktop PCs) market are contributing to the growth of the SSDs market in this region.

The key players involved in the development of solid state drives include Intel Corp. (U.S.), Micron Technology, Inc. (U.S.), Samsung Electronics (South Korea), SanDisk Corp. (U.S.), Toshiba Corp. (Japan), Lite-On Technology Corp. (Taiwan), Microsemi Corp. (U.S.), Seagate Technology plc (Ireland.), Hitachi Global Storage Technology (HGST) Inc. (U.S.), and Kingston Technology Corp. (U.S.).
