Worldwide Hard Disk Drive 2014–2018 Forecast

The HDD industry has entered a new era where revenue growth is possible without depending upon HDD unit shipment growth. Overall HDD unit demand will likely remain relatively flat through 2018, but industry revenue should grow modestly, exceeding $40 billion by 2017. Given the slow areal density growth outlook, HDD customers will need to adjust to the reality of much slower HDD price declines, especially for some enterprise products. On the surface, it may appear to be a rather dull era for the HDD industry. But in reality, HDD industry participants will have to continue to work at breakneck speed to bring new HDD technologies and nuanced product features to market to support diversifying customer storage requirements, especially by enterprise HDD customers. Details of the new report, table of contents and ordering information can be found on Electronics.ca Publications" web site. View the report: Worldwide Hard Disk Drive 2014–2018 Forecast.
