Market Trends of All Flash Array Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the All Flash Array Market according to our research experts:
Data centers is Expected to Hold Significant Share
- Growing data center workloads create new storage performance requirements that are very difficult to address with hard disk drives (HDDs). Using flash as a persistent storage technology resolves these challenges.
- According to NASSCOM, India's data center market investment is expected to reach USD 4.6 billion by 2025, mainly due to India's growing internet usage, increased cloud computing demands, digitalization initiatives by the government, and localization by digital service providers. India's higher cost efficiency in development and operation is its biggest advantage compared to more mature markets.

North America is Expected to Hold Major Market Share
- Multiple product launches suggest that North America holds a significant market share. Moreover, the United States acts as headquarters for other prominent players in the market, such as Dell Inc., IBM Corporation, Net App Inc., etc. Adopting the all-flash array enhances the growth of this region, fueled by increased expenditures in big data and related applications.
- The region holds a significant share of the all-flash array market due to the presence of the highest number of data centers and booming healthcare, information technology, BFSI, retail, and media industries. According to Cloudscene, the number of data centers in the US and Canada is 3029, the highest in the world, and expected to drive the demand for the all-flash array market.
- North America spends a significant amount on IT infrastructure, owing to the presence of prominent information technology industry and key vendors' companies. The region is home to a thriving BFSI industry where organizations are ready to spend on IT infrastructure to cater to the needs of their customers.
- The region also accounts for significant global spending on cloud solutions. According to Economic Strategy Institute (ESI), the US economy will benefit from corporation spending on cloud services (cloud computing, data analysis, and the Internet of Things).
