The global flash-based array market is witnessing robust growth, driven by the escalating demand for low-cost and high-performance storage solutions. According to the latest research report by Fairfield Market Research, the market valued nearly US$ 63 billion in the 2024, registering a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.
North America Leads the Charge
In North America, particularly the United States, the flash-based array market is poised to experience substantial growth, with the U.S. projected to be the most attractive market in the region. Canada is also anticipated to witness significant year-on-year growth rates, expected to exhibit a CAGR of 17.3% between 2024 and 2031.
Segment Insights
The hybrid flash array segment is anticipated to be the most appealing segment in North America, while the all-flash array segment is expected to exhibit high year-on-year growth rates, with a projected revenue CAGR of 24.1% during the forecast period. Moreover, large enterprises are expected to dominate the market in terms of revenue, while small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are forecasted to register impressive growth rates.
Market Opportunities
Market opportunities are emerging for flash-based array solution providers due to the increasing demand for real-time data processing. The surge in healthcare cloud computing, mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT), cognitive systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning necessitates efficient services delivered anytime, anywhere, in the shortest time possible. This demand for real-time data processing is propelling the need for high-performance data storage systems tailored to the requirements of these technologies.
Furthermore, the proliferation of big data and unstructured data presents another avenue for revenue generation. As these data volumes continue to grow at a high compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years, there is a pressing need for innovative storage solutions capable of storing data for extended periods while providing easy accessibility. While most all-flash arrays have primarily focused on structured data and high-performance transactional processing requirements, there's a growing necessity for efficient storage systems tailored to unstructured data and big data.
To address this need, leading flash array vendors are developing and offering innovative solutions in the market. For example, in March 2016, Pure Storage launched the Flash Blade Array, targeting unstructured data and big data workloads, while other vendors are yet to offer such comprehensive solutions. These market dynamics are opening up new avenues for revenue streams for flash-based array solution providers, creating opportunities for differentiation and growth in the competitive landscape.
Established vendors are gaining momentum in the market.
At the onset, startups held sway in the flash array market, spearheading a transformative wave in storage with flash-based SSDs-non-moving drives that utilize solid-state flash memory for data storage. These startups drove innovation in technical development, prompting six major storage system vendors to integrate flash offerings into their product portfolios to maintain competitiveness in the market.
