Global Network Attached Storage market was valued at USD 27.37 billion in 2021, and the market size is estimated to reach USD 87.08 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 17.98% over the forecast period (2022-2028).
One of the key trends influencing the network attached storage market is the increasing need for access to data via the corporate network and the internet at any time and from any location. Business continuity planning, a rise in the use of remote and virtual office environments, and the need to grant employees remote access to corporate networks are all driving up demand for NAS technology. NAS devices are the best option for storing backups of confidential data, which are required for company operations. This technique is becoming more widely utilised because backup targets and files for storing copies of the data are available. Data compression capabilities on NAS devices will increase their use by allowing them to store redundant copies of data.
Growing reliance of small and medium-sized organisations (SMEs) on digital content stored in a cloud environment is another factor driving the growth of the network attached storage market. The proliferation of social media content and high-speed data transmission innovations like 4G and 5G are driving the growth of the network attached storage industry. The market demand is being driven by the need for many secure data storage systems for applications involving video surveillance. Small and medium-sized enterprises therefore employ this solution for pertinent data storage and sharing applications, whereas large organisations use NAS for general data sharing that is not necessary for applications, as well as for specific workgroups, departments, and remote offices.

Driver
The expansion of government digitization initiatives, which has led to a notable increase in digital data, is one of the main factors driving the network attached storage industry. The sector has profited by the rise in smartphone, laptop, and tablet use, which has generated enormous volumes of data. The market gains from the rising demand for these services in e-government initiatives, media and entertainment content, healthcare record digitalization, online retail transactions, and media and entertainment content.
T-Mobile US, Inc., Nokia Corporation, AT&T, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, and Telefonica S.A. are just a few of the telecoms service providers that have invested in the rollout of 5G services. Rising 5G investment and a surge in the sale of millions of gadgets are the driving forces behind the ambition to expand the market and build smart companies, towns, and farms. The need to connect a variety of smart applications to the cloud, which generates large amounts of data, is also expanding. These applications include smart city initiatives and smart home initiatives. The global increase in connected smart device sales as well as the quick rise in internet usage have both fueled the growth of the network attached storage industry.
Restraint
Files can be accessed by computer systems through network attached storage, which acts as a connected storage device. Systems for storing files and documents make up these gadgets. Online thieves are putting the security of this data at jeopardy. Network attached storage systems' servers and hardware must take data security and privacy seriously. An estimated 3500 Synology NAS systems and 240,000 QNAP Systems NAS devices were susceptible to cyberattacks in August 2021, according to a study by Palo Alto Networks Inc. researchers.
Yet, the Synology Report states that cyberattacks employed the brute force approach. Along with the Taiwan Computer Emergency Response Team Center (TWCERT/CC), Synology attempted to thwart similar assaults. Synology increased everyone's awareness of the necessity to bolster security in order to safeguard user data through this relationship.
Market Trends
Using the cloud for the deployment of these solutions makes things easier because the service provider is in charge of making sure there is optimal uptime, data security, and ongoing upgrades while minimising the total cost of ownership. Users have been able to easily remove and backup data from PCs with the help of these network attached storage units, all while maintaining remote access to the data. These devices use secure dedicated IP addresses to centrally store data and grant authorised network and local users access. These devices offer a wide range of functional characteristics that may be customised to meet the needs of both home users and small and large businesses.
The availability of these solutions through pay-as-you-go models and SaaS models, in which the service providers also assume responsibility for managing data and application information, are two recent industry advancements that are further promoting the usage of these solutions. In addition, small and medium-sized firms have deployed this option more frequently because it requires less capital to set up the necessary infrastructure on their premises. The continuation of this tendency is substantially impeding the market's progress. A new two-bay, cost-effective NAS from QNAP that supports hardware-accelerated media playback was also unveiled in January 2020 and is targeted at residential customers. A PCIe card can be used to add SSD caching or other expansion features to the TS-251D, which can store up to 32 TB of data.
