The Asia Pacific to Witness the Fastest Growth During the Forecast Period

Regionally, North America holds the dominant position in the global market for tape storage due to the presence of numerous large enterprises. The Asia Pacific region is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the emerging growth in demand from enterprises and consumers and because of expanding market players in the region. Among the various industry verticals, the IT and telecom industry accounted for the highest demand for tape storage and is likely to secure the leading position during the forecast period.

Moreover, daily worldwide production of data is witnessed to be skyrocketing, owing to the advent of HD 4K/8K videos, IoT, and AI-based big-data analysis. To fulfil this demand, the emergence of high-capacity tape storage is likely to aid the market growth positively.

Archival Stability and High Storage Capacity Likely to Bolster the Tape Storage Industry Growth

The global market for tape storage is primarily driven by the growing demand for archival stability and cyber security in large enterprises and business organisations. Organisations and enterprises require static storage units for a large amount of data, which is fulfilled by tape storage, which is comparatively less portable than other storage alternatives, and have diverse and huge capacity options. Additionally, industrialisation is estimated to aid the tape storage industry growth. Apart from the digitised solutions, the popularity of tape storage for offline backup during system failure pushes the product demand further. Meanwhile, the high cost of tape storage, and the emergence of cloud storage, compact and portable alternatives might prove to be hurdles for the growth. However, advanced technologies and applications are projected to offer profitable opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
