Next-Generation Data Storage Market Size by Storage System (Direct-Attached, Network-Attached, Storage Area Network), Storage Medium (SSD, HDD, Tape), Storage Architecture (File-& Object-Based Storage, Block Storage) & Region – Global Forecast to 2029

The next-generation data storage market is projected to grow from USD 65.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 90.0 billion by 2029; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2024 to 2029.

Increasing traction of industrial grade flash memories, rising use of 5G technology, and increasing adoption of NVMe technology in SSD and data storage applications are the factors expected to fuel the growth of the next-generation data storage market.

“Network-attached Storage (NAS) segment of the next-generation data storage market to witness high growth during the forecast period.”

The next-generation data storage market's network-attached storage (NAS) segment is projected to be one of the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period. With the rising trend of remote work and distributed teams, NAS facilitates remote access to files and collaboration among users across different locations. Many NAS devices offer cloud integration and remote access features, allowing users to access and share files securely from anywhere at any time. NAS operates in a centralized storage system that enables easy access to data via networked devices. Smart home automation systems in growing countries such as China, Japan, the US, and Germany drive high demand for NAS.

“The hybrid segment is projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period.”

The hybrid segment is poised for remarkable growth within the next-generation data storage market over the forecast period. The hybrid storage systems facilitate seamless data mobility and accessibility across on-premises and cloud environments. They seamlessly integrate with other cloud services and applications and can accommodate diverse storage requirements. In hybrid storage, the active data is stored on an on-premises system, and inactive data is stored on remote systems. Companies can avoid loss of critical information by keeping a backup of data in case of any disaster. The inclination toward hybrid cloud storage models is growing as companies need to back up crucial data to avoid losing critical information during disasters. It combines on-premises control over infrastructure and security with the flexibility of cloud technology.
