Global Network Attached Storage Market is valued at approximately USD 29.72 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 16.5% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Network Attached Storage is a specialized file storage device that operates on a network, providing shared storage to multiple users and heterogeneous client devices. These systems are standalone devices connected to a network, allowing multiple users to access and share data simultaneously. They typically run on dedicated hardware and are equipped with their operating system, enabling them to perform various functions, such as file sharing, data backup, and media streaming. The Network Attached Storage Market is expanding because of factors such as the exponential growth of digital data, growth in the media and entertainment industry, and increasing deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
The increasing deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is a significant driver behind the growth of the Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Market. With the proliferation of IoT devices across various industries, there is a surge in the generation of vast amounts of data. These devices, ranging from sensors and cameras to smart appliances, contribute to the growing need for efficient and scalable storage solutions. NAS systems offer a centralized and organized approach to handling the diverse data streams from IoT devices, providing a secure and accessible repository for storing and managing this data. According to Statista, the Number of Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices worldwide in the year 2019 stood at 8.6 billion devices which increased to 13.14 billion in the year 2022 and it is projected to reach 29.42 billion devices by the year 2030. In addition, increasing product launches and investments in network technologies are some factors creating new opportunities for the market growth. However, the concerns related to data theft and server breaches stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Network Attached Storage Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022. The region has experienced a surge in the need for NAS solutions, driven by the expansion of digital infrastructure, the proliferation of connected devices, the growing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based solutions, and escalating data volumes from enterprises. Furthermore, NAS holds a pivotal role in the data center storage domain. Therefore, the substantial presence of numerous data centers in the U.S. emerges as a key factor influencing the demand for NAS throughout the region. Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising investment in digital transformation, rising development of data centers and rising IoT proliferation, in the region.
