Global Desktop Virtualization Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Desktop virtualization market size was worth US$ XX million in 2021 and is estimated to record significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 23.0% within the forecast period (2022-2029).

A technology for mimicking a user's workstation so that it can be accessed from a distance is desktop virtualization. Businesses can let employees work virtually from anywhere with a network connection by abstracting the user desktop in this way. Employees can use any desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone to access enterprise resources, independent of the device or operating system.

Remote desktop virtualization is an essential element of digital workspaces. Virtual desktop workloads are performed on desktop virtualization servers, frequently virtual machines (VMs) hosted on-premises or in the cloud. Being just a monitor, keyboard and mouse, a lost or stolen user device poses a reduced danger to the enterprise.

Furthermore, the desktop virtualization server stores all user programs and data instead of the client devices. Resource Utilization, Remote Workforce Enablement and Security are a few advantages of desktop virtualization. Administrators can benefit from desktop virtualization in several ways because it makes it easier to keep track of application software and its suppliers. The integrity of end users' IT operations can be maintained with a well-designed desktop virtualization management solution.

The fields of IT and communications have seen constant developments over the past few decades. Users are adopting new technology, so desktop virtualization systems have become increasingly popular in recent years. Additionally, there is a huge need for better desktop virtualization tools across emerging industries, which has fueled market demand.

Market Dynamics

Tremendously growing shift toward remote working since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the rise in the adoption of cloud computing escalating the growth of the desktop virtualization market.

Tremendously growing shift toward remote working since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the rise in the adoption of cloud computing escalating the growth of the desktop virtualization market.

Many businesses expect their staff to work from home due to the new coronavirus closing offices. However, a skilled and adaptable IT team that continuously needs to adapt how they provide services to employees is behind every employee that works from home — or virtually any place. Additionally, if they deploy remote work improperly, businesses may decide not to use it in the future. Employers were increasingly accustomed to remote labor long before the current public health crisis. As of 2017–2018, 36 million salaried workers in U.S. worked at least half of the time from home, according to the American Time Use Survey statistics. That increased from 19% in 2003. Working remotely was an essential component of employment for more than 5 million Americans.

Thus the growing shift of companies towards adopting remote working has escalated the demand for desktop virtualization. Businesses adopting VDI at scale benefit greatly in the current environment of remote work and workforce mobility. Users being able to access a particular desktop environment from anywhere can make all the difference, especially for businesses with constrained office access or in situations where it is impractical to allow employees to use laptops at home. Because specialized hardware is not required to run virtual environments, VDI can also result in cost savings. Since data isn't kept locally on the machines used to connect to the VMs, security is also increased. In reality, the VDI can be managed from a single location, making monitoring traffic much easier or installing security fixes.

System complexity and lack of skilled labor hurdle the market growth of the desktop virtualization market

Although desktop virtualization has many technological benefits, putting it into practice is difficult. A highly compatible infrastructure and software setup are necessary for creating many virtual desktop instances and meeting these needs could be expensive and difficult and require substantial preparation. Additionally, since all desktops and the operating system are virtually loaded and streamed across the network, virtual desktops demand substantial network bandwidth. Therefore, the adoption of desktop virtualization technologies is constrained by system complexity and compatibility difficulties.

Furthermore, configuring and implementing desktop virtualization is not simple due to many complexities and compatibility difficulties. Before introducing desktop virtualization solutions, it is necessary to assess the infrastructure requirements, including server capacity, network bandwidth and workload. Many times, a user tries to implement a desktop virtualization solution on the current infrastructure while making compromises regarding the necessary infrastructure configuration, which could further impair the performance of the established solution.

Thus, vendors must thoroughly analyze the current IT infrastructure and reconfigure the desktop virtualization solution to address issues with the performance and configuration of these solutions. Virtualization experts can address these problems successfully and provide end customers with high-quality service.

In order to implement and configure desktop virtualization solutions, manufacturers must train virtualization professionals with up-to-date knowledge and a sufficient degree of abilities. However, there is a shortage of qualified workers in the market right now, which hampers the market growth of desktop virtualization.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The concept of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is not new. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought VDI into the public spotlight and 2020 has been the year when this technology became widely adopted. Although practically every industry in the globe has been affected by the pandemic, VDI has had phenomenal adoption as more and more firms switch their whole workflow to remote working.

Following the widespread shutdown to stop the coronavirus's spread, some firms were forced to quickly adjust and put the necessary computing infrastructure in place to enable remote workers. Businesses have extensively used VDI solutions as it has become clear that they make sense.

By 2023, 70% of desktop virtualization business cases, according to experts, will be impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Businesses are now searching for cost-effective, scalable, mobile and more secure technology. They are migrating to more secure and efficient centralized virtual desktop infrastructure options, such as cloud-based and on-premise options.

Thus, VDI solutions were therefore accepted since they simplify company operations. Even after COVID-19, the market for virtual desktop infrastructure will continue to flourish, with further virtualization-related advancements perhaps coming as the solutions are more developed. The price is lower and more stable as well.

Segment Analysis

The global desktop virtualization market can be segmented on type organization, end-user and region.

Growing technological advancements has escalated the demand for Desktop Virtualization services among various end-user industries.

The global desktop virtualization market, based on type, is segmented into virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) and remote desktop services (RDS). Out of the mentioned types, desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) dominates the desktop virtualization market. In a cloud computing service called desktop as a service (DaaS), a service provider gives end customers virtual desktops via the Internet that are licensed per user.

The supplier handles backend maintenance for small organizations who find building their virtual desktop infrastructure too expensive or resource-intensive. This management often includes maintenance, backup, upgrades and data storage. Additionally, cloud service providers may handle desktop security and application management or users may manage these service components independently. Persistent and non-persistent desktops are the two types of desktops that DaaS offer.

The segment has seen tremendous growth during the COVID-19 period. It allows customers to use their own devices, including thin clients, desktops, notebooks, tablets and phones with high network bandwidth, to operate remotely. A global increase in COVID-19 cases is slowing the economy and millions of employees are working from home for the first time and changing the conservative corporate culture. As a result, each industry is seeing an increase in the need for digital and sophisticated technology solutions. However, data adoption is rising during the pandemic due to expanding online enterprises. Decision-making and business processes are being improved with the use of this data. In this way, the COVID-19 pandemic benefits the worldwide market for data as a service.
