SSD Controllers Global Market Report 2025

SSD controllers are electronic devices responsible for establishing a connection between flash memory components and the input/output interfaces or computers of host SSDs. Through the utilization of an SSD controller, the integrated CPU can deliver exceptional performance while consuming minimal power. These controllers are electrical components that are typically integrated into a single integrated circuit (IC), and the embedded processors in SSD controllers often employ microcontrollers with 16 or 32 bits.

The primary types of SSD controllers are single-level cell (SLC), multi-level cell (MLC), and triple-level cell (TLC). Single-level cell (SLC) flash storage refers to a type of solid-state storage that stores one bit of data per cell. SSD controllers support various storage interfaces such as SATA, SAS, and PCIe, catering to the needs of enterprise, automotive, industrial, and other users.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.

The SSD controllers market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides SSD controllers market statistics, including SSD controller industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a SSD controllers market share, detailed SSD controllers market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the SSD controller industry. This SSD controllers market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The ssd controllers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $31.19 billion in 2024 to $35.84 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for ssds, performance demands, consumer electronics, data center growth, cost reductions.

The ssd controllers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $57.72 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emerging memory technologies, international expansion and emerging markets, 5g and edge computing, smart manufacturing and iot, standardization and industry initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include nvme adoption, qlc nand support, pcie 4.0 and 5.0 support, ai and machine learning integration,qlc nand support.

The forecast of 12.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher import costs for NAND flash interface chips and error-correction processors, sourced from Taiwan and Israel, resulting in increased prices for data storage solutions. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing demand for cloud-based data centers is anticipated to drive the growth of the SSD controller market. A cloud data center shifts a typical on-premise data center to a remote location, allowing enterprises to rent infrastructure maintained by a third-party partner and access data center resources via the Internet instead of maintaining their own infrastructure. As the demand for data centers rises, so does the need for data storage, leading to an increased demand for SSD controllers. For instance, in June 2024, AAG IT Services, a UK-based non-government organization, reported that public cloud service revenue surged to over $415 billion in 2022, up from $343 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $526 billion in 2023. Therefore, the increasing demand for cloud-based data centers is fueling the growth of the SSD controller market.

The proliferation of data traffic is expected to contribute to the growth of the SSD controllers market. Data traffic, referring to the volume of data transmitted through a network at a specific point in time, has witnessed a substantial increase. SSD controllers play a crucial role in managing and controlling data traffic, facilitating physical data storage, enhancing error correction, and supporting external RAM and data buffering. For instance, the GSMA Association reported a 21% increase in network data traffic in 2021. Additionally, Ericsson projected that global mobile data traffic would reach approximately 90 EB per month by the end of 2022 and is estimated to surge to 325 EB per month by 2028. This surge in data traffic necessitates the increased utilization of SSD controllers.

Major companies in the SSD controllers market are focusing on product innovation, exemplified by the development of products such as the Phison E31T to meet the rising demand. The Phison E31T is a PCIe 5.0 SSD controller designed for SSDs, delivering speeds of up to 10 GB/s. Introduced by Phison Electronics Corporation in June 2023, the controller utilizes a 7 nm manufacturing process, is powered by an ARM Cortex-R5 CPU, and features four memory channels, contributing to improved power efficiency.

The SSD controllers market also witnesses a trend of strategic partnerships among major companies to deliver advanced solutions. In June 2022, Phison Electronics Corporation collaborated with Cigent Technology, Inc., a US-based embedded cybersecurity technology company. This strategic partnership integrates Cigent's cybersecurity advancements into select Phison storage devices and controllers. The integrated features can be activated by Phison's storage partners, offering enhanced cybersecurity solutions to their global channel partners and customers.

In January 2022, SK Hynix Inc., a South Korea-based semiconductor company, completed the acquisition of the first phase of Intel NAND technology and SSD Business for $7 billion. This acquisition led to the formation of a new subsidiary, 'Solidigm,' in San Jose, California. SK Hynix aimed to strengthen its position in the global NAND Flash business through this acquisition, which included Intel's SSD business assets and the Dalian NAND Flash manufacturing facility in China, along with other associated tangible and intangible assets.
