Worldwide Hard Disk Drive Market by Application
In-Stat/MDR, January 2011, Pages: 39
One of the key features of this report is the special segmentation detailing the breakouts in terms of HDD’s form factor, RPM, and number of disks within the application markets.
It also addresses solid state drives and how they are positioned with respect to hard disk drives.
The report projects a roadmap to future generations of products, such as the total gigabytes in HDDs in the dominant desktop and notebook PC segments. In addition, the report:
- Identifies critical issues with the tablet PC market for HDDs
- Explains why STBs need to stay with HDDs in the long haul
- Reports that two major vendors are going in opposite directions. One was planning to go private, but recently hastily withdrew those plans. The other is planning to raise cash through an IPO.
- Identifies HDD applications in the mission critical enterprise segment

Digital Video Applications Propel Hard Disk Drive Market
The demand for gigabytes and terabytes of storage from PC users, game enthusiasts, and TV entertainment folks is keeping the industry growing to the degree that In-Stat (www.in-stat.com) forecasts HDD unit shipments will increase to over 1 billion units by 2014. The main drivers of growth have been the notebook PC market, set top boxes, and external storage.
As video has gone digital, demand for storage is found in consumer applications including set top boxes (STBs), external drives, automotive applications, personal media players, camcorders, home servers, and video cameras, says Norm Bogen, VP, Digital Entertainment. STBs have been a HDD application target since TiVo pioneered TV recordings and playback and 'Time Shifting'. The 3.5 HDDs at 7200 rpm and with capacities starting from 500 GBs to 2 TBs are being offered in this DVR application market. Among consumer applications, external HDDs are the second largest segment behind DVRs, and will double in unit volume between 2010 and 2015.
Recent Research by In-Stat found the following:
[***startList***]
- The top 5 HDD vendors include Hitachi, Samsung, Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital. Western Digital has overtaken Seagate as the largest HDD manufucturer for the first half of 2010. Seagate retains its dominant position in enterprise HDDs.
- HDDs have maintained the stopping power against SSDs (Solid State Drives), providing storage at a tenth of the price on a cost/megabit basis.
- Drive capacities are growing at a rate of 40% per year.
- The industry is expected to cross the 1 Tb/sq. inch threshold in the 2012-2013 timeframe.
- The demand for 2.5 mobile/portable drives keeps growing at a faster pace and has outstripped the TAM for desktop drives.
- Cloud storage shifts some of the requirements for massive storage on a PC device to one in the Cloud with a company such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc.
