DaaS Market 2022-2028

Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) is the desktop virtualization service hosted on the cloud in which, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is outsourced to a third-party service provider along with all the responsibilities of maintaining upgrades, storage, security, and data backup. The increasing proliferation of endpoint devices coupled with the rising adoption of cloud and the consumerization of IT has made the management of desktop more complicated than ever before. DaaS offers an efficient solution for the companies preferring cloud-based solutions over conventional solutions, which, in turn, has increased the adoption of DaaS solutions among enterprises. The benefits offered by DaaS include easier patch management and software updates, quicker new user account provisioning, better disaster planning and recovery, and improved application and data security.

The market growth is attributed to the increasing adoption of cloud-based services among small to medium-sized enterprises, especially in the finance and insurance industry. In addition, service providers are establishing partnership with hyper-scale vendors for improving the overall performance and versatility of their services.

The global DaaS market is segmented on the basis of desktop type, cloud server type, and model. On the basis of desktop type, the market is bifurcated into persistent DaaS and non-persistent DaaS. Persistent DaaS is estimated to hold a dominant share. The dominant share is attributed to the increasing demand for persistent DaaS as these solutions offer customization and personalization. Persistent DaaS makes application delivery more flexible and hence are adopted preferably. With persistent desktops, each user gets an own desktop, whereas in the non-persistent type, desktops are shared among end-users making them unable to retain data. The demand for persistent desktops is increasing significantly and the segment is estimated to grow at the highest growth rate of 14.5% during the forecast period owing to the increasing trend of BYOD. On the basis of cloud server, the market is segmented into private cloud server, public cloud server, and hybrid cloud server. The global DaaS market on the basis of model type is segmented into desktop virtualization, application virtualization, presentation virtualization, and others such as personal and pooled desktops. Among these, desktop virtualization is estimated to dominate the market.

Based on the geographical viewpoint, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. North America is estimated to hold the most significant share. The growth is attributed to the increased dependency of the individuals in the region on digital devices which has an increased number of devices such as smartphones and laptops.
