Middle East Storage Market Revenue to Expand at CAGR of 14% During 2015-2025

Reaching $6.5 billion by 2025

Introduction
Storage is a repository where business and consumer information is stored for a period of time as per the requirement of the user. Consumer storage devices are portable in nature, which enables consumers to retrieve their data irrespective of the location and time. Enterprise storage stores operational data of enterprises through interconnected network of enterprise storage devices. Enterprise storage includes flash array and HDD, software-defined storage, cloud-based storage and hyper-converged infrastructure. Enterprise storage has witnessed traction in its adoption in the IT industry as a primary solution for DR.

Geographical overview
The Middle East regions are witnessing digital transformation currently. This is primarily attributed to the increasing presence of leading storage providers, such as IBM and Microsoft, in these regions, which offer services such as mobile integration, hybrid cloud storage and data analytics. Emergence of the Internet of Everything (IoE), which in turn is expected to lead to the upsurge in the data produced, is expected to drive demand for enhanced enterprise storage solutions in the Middle East regions.

Market Dynamics
Continuous decline in the prices of consumer storage devices, such HDD and SSD, is further promoting growth of the storage market currently. Development of the 3D NAND technology has been a game-changer for the consumer storage industry, resulting in the rise in SSD capacities and decline in prices. Increasing market presence of regional players in majority of the countries is further cementing competition and, in turn, leading to the reduction in the ASP of consumer storage devices.

Advancements in information and social technology have paved the way for unabated data growth. Business enterprises have moved from duplication and compression techniques to rack servers and data centres in order to manage growth of big data. This offers enterprises an improved, scalable and cost effective platform solution. Additionally, surge in demand for smartphones and other IoT devices, along with growth of social media channels, have led to a rise in demand for additional storage, which in turn is further driving growth of the global storage market currently.

Introduction of high-performance computing solutions with minimum complexities is the key focus area for vendors in the enterprise storage market. In data-intensive applications, such as simulation and modelling of enterprise process creates huge amounts of complex data. In order to store and process this data, high performance solutions that can manage escalating data capacities are of utmost importance.
