Product Definition:
External Disk System is a storage device that is mounted outside the computer. It can be used to store data, install software, or back up files. The importance of External Disk System is that it provides extra storage for the computer and allows for easy access to files.
0 -100GB:
0 -100GB is a term used for referring to the amount of data which can be written to or read from an external disk drive using input/output operations with no parity protection. The expression is derived from 0 and 100 GB, as it represents a range between these two values. It does not represent any particular size in terms of megabytes (MB), although it usually refers to drives having capacities below 1 TB.
100-500GB:
100-500GB is the size of External Disk System and it's used for storing data. It can be connected to any computer or laptop via USB port. Data can be extracted/copied from one 100-500GB disk to another in a simple manner.
It has various advantages such as flexibility, easy sharing of data, cost effectiveness and portability among others which make it popular among consumers these days.
Application Insights:
The others application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030. The growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of external hard drives by individuals for storing data files including photos, videos, music, documents and other files. Furthermore External HDD is preferred over internal hard drive as it is portable and easy to install which increases its demand among other consumers.
The computers/laptops application segment accounted for a significant revenue share in 2017 owing to growing demand from consumers desiring more storage space on their laptops or desktops at affordable prices without having an expensive internal hard drive installed within their computer systems. Moreover manufacturers are offering various laptop models with larger storage spaces which further fuels its growth during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
The market in North America is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing investments in data centers and rising demand for high-capacity storage devices. For instance, as per the Digital Storage Media Association (DSMA), U.S.-based companies have invested around USD X trillion in storing data across various applications since 2000 till 2016.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market from 2018 to 2030 owing to growing IT spending by major economies such as China and India, which are also leading manufacturing hubs of electronics and electrical equipment industry respectively.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for data storage: The growth of digital content is resulting in the increasing demand for data storage, which is fueling the growth of the external disk system market.
- Proliferation of big data and cloud-based services: The proliferation of big data and cloud-based services is leading to an increase in the need for efficient storage solutions, thereby driving the growth of the external disk system market.
- Growing trend of BYOD: The growing trend of BYOD is resulting in an increase in demand for portable storage devices, thereby propelling the growth of the external disk system market.
- Rapid adoption rate by small and medium businesses (SMBs): SMBs are increasingly adopting external disk systems to store their business critical information, thus contributing to its growth.
