Market Share: Primary Storage, 2025, Worldwide

QKS Group Reveals that Primary Storage Market is Projected to Register a CAGR of 16.35% by 2030. 

Emphasizing speed, reliability, and scalability, vendors innovate with technologies like NVMe SSDs and persistent memory to enhance performance and security. Automation through AI-driven tools optimizes storage resource allocation and reduces manual intervention, improving efficiency and reliability. Organizations need robust primary storage to support high-speed data processing, ensure business continuity, and meet the demands of data-intensive applications. Strategically, the market is focusing on ultra-fast data access, hybrid solutions, and seamless cloud integration to offer high-performance, scalable, and secure storage solutions. Physical mainframe storage demands significant investment and additional costs as needs grow. Protecting data from threats like corruption, theft, and unauthorized access is crucial, alongside ensuring compliance with regulations such as GDPR and ISO 27001 to avoid fines and reputational damage. Cloud-native primary storage products, including Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) models, offer scalable, pay-as-you-go solutions that meet these needs. These products provide robust data security through regular updates and replication options, supported by AIOps for efficient incident response and minimized recovery times. 

QKS Group defines Primary Storage as “A product that provides external storage capabilities through hybrid storage arrays comprising solid-state drives and hard disk drives, along with SDS (software-defined storage), which abstracts storage resources from hardware devices.” Primary storage stores data that is in active use. These products are utilized for use cases requiring quick read/write capabilities with smaller I/O response times.  Additionally, Primary storage functionality enables organizational IT systems to separate centralized control plane and let them use the data services for hybrid infrastructure platform and services (HIPS) storage-as-a-service offerings.”
