Similarly, Oracle Corporation's file, block and object storage, archive storage, flash local storage and storage gateway, Google LLC's Filestore, Cloud archival storage, persistent disk, local SSD block storage, and cloud object storage.


The growth of the cloud storage is driven by several factors, such as the growing volume of unstructured data and increased demand for advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), analytics, automation, and others. Cloud storage stores and manages data on the internet and can be delivered on-demand as per the pay-and-use model. Also, cloud-based storage provides global scalability, agility, remote access, and durability to data storage.


In June 2020, as per LogicMonitor's Cloud 2025 survey respondents, 95% of the IT workload will be on the cloud in the next five years. This factor indicates that the market is likely to showcase remarkable growth in the coming years. Also, the global market witnessed significant growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Market players are providing storage services to businesses to manage their remote employees. For instance, in April 2022, Amazon launched the EC2 Console where users can automatically attach the Amazon EFS file system to new Amazon EC2 instances created from the Configure storage section.


The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in considerably high market growth. The market's growth is attributed to the significant adoption of storage services owing to increasing virtual work and the growing volume of data. The market observed a significant growth rate of 13.7% in 2020 compared to 9.3% in 2019.


Cloud-based solutions enable employees to collaborate and stay connected as firms move toward a remote work environment. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of cloud storage with the increased use of collaboration and conferencing applications by the remote workforce.


Cloud Storage Market Trends


Rising Use of Social Media and Analytical Platforms to Propel Market Growth


Cloud analytics creates ample opportunities for cloud providers due to the increasing demand for analytical insights for decision-making in various industries. The demand for additional data storage to support a massive data volume is growing exponentially due to the substantial computing power. Enterprises leverage platforms and deliver advanced storage technologies with more accessibility and flexibility.


Similarly, social media analytics encouraged end-users to adopt cloud-based automated data storage services to provide real-time improved customer experience. For instance, in October 2020, Facebook LLC partnered with a cloud service provider, Backblaze. The partnership focused on transferring social media videos and images over the cloud-based encrypted storage to maintain security and privacy. These technological trends are expected to fuel the market size in the coming years.


Growing Adoption of Multi Cloud Storage Fuels Market Growth


Organizations are increasingly adopting multi-cloud storage strategies, utilizing multiple cloud providers to meet different needs, such as cost optimization, geographic diversity, and specialized services. This approach helps mitigate vendor lock-in, improves resilience, and enables organizations to leverage the strengths of different cloud providers for specific workloads.


Furthermore, many organizations are adopting hybrid cloud storage solutions, which combine on-premises infrastructure with public and private cloud storage resources. This approach allows organizations to leverage the scalability and flexibility of the cloud, while maintaining control over sensitive data and applications that require local storage.

Cloud Storage Market Growth Factors


Exponential Growth in Data Volumes to Surge Demand for New Storage Capacity


Remote sensing, the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT), and improved video quality due to the use of 4K or 8K resolution cameras have resulted in the collection of large amounts of data. As a result, demand for cloud-based storage and networking technology is increasing. Similarly, the growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is projected to increase the storage demand to improve data security.


For example, in February 2021, NextBillion AI, a California-based start-up, collaborated with Google Cloud to improve time-to-market solutions using cloud SQL and storage. The partnership aims to offer data protection and 99% uptime for NextBillion artificial intelligence clients.


Additionally, connected devices and autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars are likely to drive the adoption of cloud computing services, including data storage for providing real-time assistance.


For instance, in February 2021, Ford Motor Company, a connected car manufacturer, partnered with Google Cloud to improve customers’ experience with connected vehicles. The company is moving toward digitalization with automatic and driverless cars. Ford aims to offer an enhanced experience by implementing machine learning, automation, and cloud across its vehicles. Such factors are expected to drive the market toward a higher growth trajectory.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Stringent Laws and Regulations Associated with Privacy and Data Security May Impede Market Growth


Data privacy and confidentiality are the most vital elements of the cloud storage ecosystem. The stringent government laws and regulations on using the cloud are expected to restrict the market growth. For example, the Government of India made a provision in the Information Technology Act 2000. According to the provision, any unlawful activities related to the computing models/transactions consisting of confidential data or information will be subjected to a penalty. These rules and regulations enforced by governments are likely to hamper the market growth.


As the data resides outside the company's infrastructure, it is apparent that the company may loss control over its data. Even though the concerns are largely psychological and hypothetical due to the lack of awareness of cloud services, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries, consumers may have genuine concerns regarding the service provider's capability and operational processes. Privacy and security concerns are projected to act as barriers to adopting cloud-based storage.


Cloud Storage Market Segmentation Analysis


By Component Analysis


High Data Security Feature to Augment Storage Models Growth


Companies offer various storage models including file, object, and block storage and services in the market.
