Introduction

Abstract

This IDC study provides insight into hard disk drive industry shipments and revenue for the 2011–2015 forecast period. Trends in end-market devices affecting HDD demand are assessed while HDD technology advancements are factored into expected average HDD capacities. The HDD industry structure and relevant industry dynamics along with expected new HDD product features are used to estimate average sale prices and industry revenue.

John Rydning, IDC' s research director for hard disk drives, says, "The hard disk drive industry has navigated many technology and product transitions over the past 50 years, but not a transformation. The HDD industry is poised to consolidate from five to three HDD vendors by 2012, and HDD unit shipment growth over the next five years will slow. HDD revenue will grow faster than unit shipments after 2012, in part because HDD vendors will offer higher-performance hybrid HDD solutions that will command a price premium. But for the remaining three HDD vendors to achieve faster revenue growth, it will be necessary by the middle of the decade for HDD vendors to transform into storage device and storage solution suppliers, with a much broader range of products for a wider variety of markets but at the same time a larger set of competitors."
