Global External ODD Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

An External ODD, or External Optical Disc Drive, is a peripheral device used with computers and laptops to read or write optical discs such as CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs externally. This portable drive connects to a computer via USB or other compatible interfaces and allows users to access and manipulate optical media even if their computer doesn't have an integrated optical disc drive. External ODDs are particularly useful for laptops and ultrabooks that have become increasingly slim and omit internal optical drives for space-saving purposes. These external drives provide a versatile and convenient solution for tasks like playing DVDs, installing software, or creating backup copies of data from optical discs.
