Rapidly evolving virtualization technologies are expected to propel the expansion of the global virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market through 2028.

Recently, leading tech giants have been rolling out supportive VDI integrated features and software to accommodate prevalent needs of business operations worldwide, thereby enhancing the product landscape. For instance, in 2019, Citrix System, a cloud computing expert, for the first time, launched HDX Optimization for Microsoft Teams in collaboration with Microsoft. Citrix HDX Optimization for Microsoft Teams comprises of the Teams desktop client app approved with a VDA (virtual desktop access) allowing direct access to VDI without the need of a special installer.

The global virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market has been categorized by type, component, deployment model, application, and region. Based on application, the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market has been bifurcated into aerospace & defense, government, BFSI, manufacturing, IT & telecom, education, transportation, and retail. The government application segment is expected to witness strong growth at around 23.5% CAGR through 2028 on account of increasing government initiatives to develop innovative solutions that allow cost-effective use of technology for bolstering mission efficiencies.

In 2021, the aerospace & defense application segment held approximately 7.23% market share and is slated to grow steadily over 2022-2028 owing to the fiercely competitive nature of the aerospace sector, which comprises of players working towards improvement of their graphic heavy applications performance. Manufacturing accounted for nearly 9.08% of the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market revenue in 2021 and is set to witness sturdy expansion through the assessment timeframe due to rapid deployment of remote workforce teams for troubleshooting problems.

Driven by heavy adoption of VDI for boosting e-commerce platforms, the retail application segment is estimated to depict a CAGR of about 22.5% by 2028. The transportation application segment is projected to grow at over 19.4% CAGR over the review timeline owing to prevalent utilization of VDI by remote employees for monitoring vehicle tracking and navigation in the transportation sector.

With respect to region, the Latin America virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) industry is likely to attain above 11.6% market share by 2028 as a result of increasing government initiatives driving digital transformation of workplaces in the LATAM region.

The Middle East & Africa virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of roughly 20.0% between 2022 and 2028 fueled by surging efforts of GCC nations to strengthen the national IT landscape. In March 2022, the World Bank highlighted the significant socioeconomic benefits of complete digitization of economies across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), which would accelerate the growth of the IT infrastructure.

In addition, Saudi Arabia is home to more than 33 million customers, according to a February 2022 report published by the International Trade Administration (ITA). Besides being the largest ecosystem of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the MENA region, Saudi Arabia is perfectly positioned to emerge as a technology service and cloud hub. The native market offers great potential in expanding across Asia, Europe, and Africa markets. These factors are foreseen to foster regional market outlook in the future.
