Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from SSD unit shipment volumes, split by interface and capacity tier, multiplied by segment-level average selling prices drawn from channel and OEM pricing trackers. Enterprise volumes are anchored to server and storage-array attach rates reported by original design manufacturers, while client volumes follow PC and notebook shipment data split by storage configuration. This bottom-up build is then checked against disclosed storage-segment revenue reported by Samsung, SK Hynix, Western Digital, Micron and Kioxia. Where the two diverge, the correction is made to the underlying unit-volume or price assumption, not by blending the two figures; a build that overstates enterprise volume against reported segment revenue is revised downward at the assumption level.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Primary input comes from conversations with storage procurement leads at hyperscale and enterprise data center operators, channel and distribution managers who set client-segment pricing, and component-qualification engineers who set interface and capacity roadmaps at OEM and ODM system builders. Sampling weights toward North America and Northeast Asia, where hyperscale procurement and NAND fabrication decisions concentrate, with a secondary emphasis on Europe for enterprise IT budget behavior. Regulatory contacts are consulted only where export-control or trade-classification rules affect component sourcing, since SSDs otherwise carry no product-specific regulatory approval process beyond general product-safety certification requirements common to electronic components.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on customs and trade data filed under the relevant HS code for solid state storage devices, semiconductor industry shipment and pricing benchmarks published by trade associations covering NAND flash and controller output, and the storage-segment disclosures in the annual and quarterly filings of the major NAND and SSD suppliers named in this report. Export-control classification registers are checked where cross-border component shipments are affected. These sources anchor unit volumes and pricing; company disclosures anchor the revenue check described above.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from the pace at which hyperscale and enterprise buyers shift storage architecture toward NVMe and higher-capacity drives, the rate at which NAND cost per gigabyte declines, and the replacement cycle length in client PCs and notebooks. It normalizes for the pricing volatility NAND markets experienced through 2023-2025, treating that period's swings as a supply-cycle anomaly rather than a new baseline. The forecast holds if AI and cloud infrastructure investment continues expanding storage attach rates and NAND capacity additions keep pace with demand without another sustained pricing dislocation.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs are back-tested against recorded shipment and revenue growth for 2020-2024 to confirm the bottom-up build reproduces known history before it is extended forward. Segment-level share shifts, including the move toward PCIe interfaces and higher capacity tiers, are reviewed against supplier product roadmaps and design-win disclosures. Sensitivities are tested on the two assumptions the forecast depends on most: the pace of enterprise NVMe migration and the NAND cost-decline curve, each flexed independently to confirm the total stays within a coherent range rather than swinging on a single input.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest in the interface and application splits, where supplier segment disclosures give a direct revenue check; it is thinner in the storage-capacity and end-use industry cuts, which rely more on shipment proxies than disclosed detail. The clearest risk to this estimate is a renewed NAND pricing shock, which has moved segment economics abruptly before and would do so again. A slower-than-assumed enterprise NVMe transition is the second risk, and either would call for a revision rather than a mid-cycle adjustment.
