Storage Software Market Highlights 2020-2029
The storage software market is estimated to grow with a moderate CAGR during the forecast period, i.e., 2021-2029. The growing volume of unstructured data, along with the increasing consciousness among organizations for storage virtualization are expected to fuel the progress of this market. The growth of the market can also be attributed to factors such as proliferation of internet of things (IoT) across the world which has increased the data generated at the edge considerably. It is estimated that more than 72% of the global enterprises will shift to cloud storage from on-premise data centers, by 2022.
The market is segmented based on software type into storage replication, archiving, software defined storage and others, out of which, the software defined storage segment is anticipated to grab the largest share by the end of 2021 on account of its multiple usage and capacity of storing data independently of the hardware platform. Moreover, software defined storage provides greater flexibility, efficiency and faster scalability to use the storage resources, which is also projected to contribute to the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
On the basis of end-user type, the BFSI segment in the global storage software market is projected to grow with a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the fact that financial organizations require highly secure and highly available storage capabilities to scale up with appliances that link together across sites.
