Global Glass Substrate for Hard Disk Drives Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Glass Substrate for Hard Disk Drives market size is predicted to grow from US$ 769 million in 2025 to US$ 534 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of -5.9% from 2025 to 2031.

Glass substrates are used as recording media in HDDs (Hard Disc Drives). They are resistant to vibration and shock, and do not easily deflect even when made into thinner sheets, which contributes to an increase in the number of substrates per HDD and higher capacity.

Hoya is currently the only manufacturer of glass substrates for HDDs in the world. According to Hoya, in the 2.5-inch HDD market, all glass substrates are used, and the company has 100% of the substrate market share. However, in the 3.5-inch HDD market, HDD manufacturers mainly use aluminum-based substrates, and some HDD products use glass substrates.

As the demand for data storage continues to grow, the HDD market is expected to maintain stable demand in the medium and long term. Fields such as cloud services and data centers rely heavily on large-capacity, low-cost data storage. HDDs offer high capacity and can store large amounts of data at a relatively low cost, so they are widely used in near-line applications. However, in consumer products such as laptops and gaming devices, SSDs are steadily replacing HDDs with their advantages in high-speed data access, shock resistance, and low power consumptio.
