IDC: IDC Outlook for Solid State Drives Remains Bright, Despite Market Challenges and Economic Uncertainties

Despite the economic recession and constrained IT spending, 2009 was a good year for solid state drive (SSD) vendors, with SSD shipments surpassing 11 million units, an increase of 14% year over year. Looking forward, IDC expects SSD adoption will continue to experience tangible growth in 2010 and beyond, with shipments expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 54% over the 2008-2013 forecast period.

“Despite lingering uncertainties around the economy, IDC remains positive on the outlook for SSDs and believes the trajectories for shipment and revenue growth are a source of optimism moving forward,” said Jeff Janukowicz, research manager, Hard Disk Drive Components and Solid State Drives at IDC.
