Product Definition:
A flash disk is a data storage device that uses flash memory to store digital information. It is a type of non-volatile memory, which means that the data on it will not be lost when the device is turned off. Flash disks are small and lightweight, making them ideal for portable devices such as laptops and tablets. They are also less expensive than traditional hard drives, making them popular choices for budget-conscious consumers.
USB Drives:
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an interface used for transferring data from a computer to external storage devices such as flash disk, External Hard Disk Drive (HDD), pen drive, and Digital Video Recorder (DVR). The USB drives are widely used in the corporate world for data backup & recovery. It has been observed that the demand for this device has increased by 100% over the last few years.
Flash Cards:
Flash cards are small pieces of plastic or paper with a series of pictures or text printed on it. They are used as an educational tool to help people learn new things quickly and efficiently. The concept behind flash cards is similar to that of the brain; when presented with information, the brain stores it in its memory for future references.
Application Insights:
The computer application segment accounted for the largest share of over 70.0% in 2017. The growth is attributed to the increasing demand for storage devices from end-users, especially in developed regions like North America and Europe. In addition, growing adoption of tablets across various applications including education, enterprise and business is expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
The mobile application segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to increased usage of tablets by end-users for entertainment purposes as well as work purposes such as accessing office files and carrying out online transactions with ease and efficiency using these devices. Furthermore, flash disks are used by consumers for storing music, videos etc.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of a large number of key players such as Western Digital, Toshiba, and SanDisk. The U.S. has been one of the prominent regional markets for these devices due to high internet usage and digital transformation in various sectors such as education, government & defense, healthcare & life sciences, media & entertainment among others. Moreover, growing demand for cloud-based applications is also expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the forecast years with China and India at its forefronts owing to their massive population base along with developing IT infrastructure that includes an increasing number of data centers housing both hardware.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for storage in data centers to support the growth of big data and cloud services.
- Proliferation of flash-based storage arrays in enterprise datacenters, which is resulting in falling prices for flash-based storage devices and systems.
- The increasing use of solid state drives (SSDs) in laptop and desktop PCs, as well as tablets and smartphones, is also contributing to the growth of the flash disk market.
- Growing demand from consumers for high-capacity USB thumb drives and other portable storage devices that use flash disks instead of traditional spinning hard disks or optical media such as CDs or DVDs .
