The Cloud Storage Market Continues To Grow Worldwide

Separator
Up until recently, businesses, individuals, and organizations had one option when determining how to store their data and digital assets: storing it on their own computers, servers, and drives.

There were many downsides to this reality. For example, it costs a lot of money to purchase servers and space to house them. It also costs a business quite a bit of money to hire a team qualified to maintain servers.

For large organizations and individuals, being required to store data on their own servers and computers also limited the amount of data they could store in the first place. Additionally, it prevented them from easily backing up their data to ensure easy access if something were to happen that put it in jeopardy.

Luckily, there’s now a solution to these problems: cloud storage.

When someone saves data in the cloud, despite the ethereal name, they’re not actually magically converting data into something intangible. They’re simply storing data and digital assets on servers that an outside party owns and operates.

The benefits of cloud storage are wide-ranging. Along with helping customers save money and keep their data backed up, cloud storage providers can also help customers keep their data more secure. This is because cloud storage providers focus exclusively on data storage and related services. Thus, security isn’t a secondary issue for them, as it may be at another company. It’s instead a top priority.

These are all reasons the cloud storage market has continued to grow at a fast pace in recent years. Experts predict its growth also isn’t going to slow down in the foreseeable future. In fact, it’s predicted that the value of the global cloud storage market will reach $390.33 billion by 2028.

Clearly, while the global pandemic may have caused several industries and markets to take a hit, it didn’t have this impact on the cloud storage market. There’s even reason to believe that the pandemic has contributed to a rise in cloud storage’s popularity.

This is because cloud storage and services can allow for easier collaboration among work forces dispersed throughout the globe. Before the pandemic began, companies were increasingly allowing employees to work from home. During the pandemic, companies that hadn’t yet adopted remote work policies were forced to.

Many have found that letting employees work from wherever they choose doesn’t negatively impact productivity. It may in fact boost it. As such, companies across a range of industries have announced plans to embrace remote work policies permanently.

This means more and more organizations will employ workers who live and work in various states and countries. To ensure they’re able to work together cohesively, it helps to leverage cloud storage solutions.

That’s just one of numerous factors influencing the continued growth of the cloud storage market. Other factors, such as an increased emphasis on AI-based large-scale analytics, also contribute to the market’s growth. What’s already clear is that this market is currently quite lucrative, and is likely to remain so for years to come.
