Global Hard Disk Drive Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The global hard disk drive market is expected to grow at a rate of 3% CAGR, reaching a market size of US$28.045 billion in 2030 from US$24.196 billion in 2025.
The growing use of portable, desktop, and network-attached storage hard disk drives to store operating systems, software programs, and other items on magnetic disks is expected to fuel the global hard disk drive market expansion.
Moreover, the development of smart, connected technologies is boosting the demand for storage drives to store different data types. Therefore, the recent change in technical trends in the customer electronics industry is expected to aid in the global hard disk drive (HDD) market growth.
Further, to strengthen their manufacturing base and lessen their dependency on imports, several nations are launching programs that should propel market expansion further. For instance, to encourage domestic electronics manufacturing, India suddenly banned the import of personal computers, including laptops and tablets, in August 2023. Additionally, several Indian businesses are looking to produce their laptops. Reliance Jio, for example, recently announced the release of a new laptop model. Similarly, New Delhi-based startup Primebook is making a laptop specifically for Indian students.
Global hard disk drive market drivers

High demand in cloud data centers
Climate The demand for data storage devices is anticipated to rise shortly due to the nearly triple increase in Internet protocol traffic in public cloud data centers. As a result, the hard disk drive market is anticipated to experience significant growth in the upcoming years. This market is expanding due to the growing adoption of cloud storage and other enterprise applications. Furthermore, one of the reasons for the growth in HDD shipments and sales is the stability of the laptop market.Companies embraced cloud computing solutions quickly in response to the sudden shift to remote work and the need for reliable and scalable infrastructure. Hybrid cloud became popular as businesses tried to combine the benefits of public cloud services with the administration and security of on-premises or private facilities.
