This 100+ page report looks into every aspect of the SSD market - Market sizing, PC vs Industrial/Military markets, Forecasts by application, Company-by-company competitive analysis, Key user surveys, etc. There is no report even like it in the market today.Objective Analysis has found:
• Objective Analysis is conservatively forecasting that the NAND SSD market into notebook PCs will reach $3 billion by 2012.
• The combined NAND SSD market for all market segments will approach $6billion by 2012.
• There are several distinct SSD markets, the main two camps being DRAM and NAND based. This report focuses most attention on NAND-based SSDs.
• Of these NAND-based SSDs, several key markets have already been established
in industrial control, the military, and banking. Several other markets are opening up to this technology.
• None of these existing markets has the potential of reaching the size of the market for SSDs in notebook PCs. With very low penetration this could still become a $1 billion market by 2012. With a more optimistic view the market could approach $20 billion by that time.
• The HDD market will not be significantly impacted by the advent of the SSD. Our forecast estimates that SSD unit shipments will decrease HDD unit shipments in 2012 by only 5%, or 4 million units.
• Certain new technologies threaten the notebook PC SSD market and could keep it from materializing. These include Microsoft’s Hybrid HDD and Intel’s Turbo Memory.
• Although users are intrigued by the advantages of the SSD, there is great reluctance today for them to pay 25 times as much for the same amount of storage, or ten times as much for one third the storage of an HDD.
• Pricing of HDDs has historically declined at a rate similar to that of NAND flash. This will prevent NAND-SSDs from approaching the price of major-market HDDs over the term of our forecast.
• There are over 40 companies currently promising to participate in the SSD market. Twenty three of these companies are profiled in this report.
