세계의 보안 디지털 메모리 카드 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형별, 용량별, 스피드 클래스별, 유통 채널별, 용도별, 최종 사용자별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Secure Digital Memory Card Market is accounted for $10.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $15.04 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. A secure digital memory card is a non-volatile storage device commonly used in portable electronic devices such as cameras, smart phones, and tablets. It stores data using flash memory and comes in different storage capacities. They feature a secure digital interface, enabling high-speed data transfer and secure encryption for data protection. SD cards are widely recognized for their compact size and reliability.

According to We Are Social, a UK-based media company, in February 2023, 1 in 3 Australians use digital memory cards.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for portable storage

As consumer reliance on digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras, and gaming consoles grows, so does the need for reliable and portable storage solutions. SD cards offer a compact, high-capacity storage option for storing photos, videos, documents, and apps, meeting the demand for easy data portability. SD cards' affordability, convenience, and scalability make them a preferred choice for expanding device storage. Additionally, the rise of content creation, remote work, and gaming further fuels the need for external storage, driving market growth.

Restraint:

Risk of data theft

The risk of data theft in SD memory cards arises due to their portability and vulnerability to physical loss or theft. Since SD cards often store sensitive information, such as personal data, financial details, or corporate files, they can be easily accessed by unauthorized users if lost or stolen. This security concern hampers market growth by limiting adoption in sectors that require high data protection, such as healthcare, finance, and government.

Opportunity:

Growth of digital media content

The growth of digital media content increases the demand for storage solutions that can handle large volumes of data. With the rise of high-definition videos, 4K and 8K resolution content, and high-quality photography, the need for SD cards with higher capacities and faster read/write speeds has grown. Additionally, the popularity of social media platforms, online streaming, and gaming has led to higher content creation and consumption. This surge in digital content directly boosts the demand for SD cards across sectors, including entertainment, media, and professional photography.

Threat:

Competition from cloud storage

Cloud solutions offers a more flexible, scalable, and accessible alternative for data storage. Cloud solutions allow users to store and access data remotely, reducing the need for physical storage devices like SD cards. This shift to cloud-based storage is particularly appealing for businesses and consumers seeking seamless access to their data across multiple devices without the limitations of local storage. Additionally, cloud storage eliminates concerns over physical damage or loss, reducing reliance on SD cards for long-term storage.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the secure digital memory card market. On one hand, the surge in remote work, online learning, and digital content creation drove increased demand for storage solutions. On the other hand, disruptions in supply chains, factory shutdowns, and component shortages impacted production. However, as digital transformation accelerated across industries, the market rebounded, with growing adoption of mobile devices, cameras, and IoT applications boosting the need for SD cards post-pandemic.

The ultra high speed class segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The ultra high speed class segment is predicted to secure the largest market share throughout the forecast period. The ultra high speed class of secure digital memory cards is designed for devices requiring high-speed data transfer, such as 4K cameras, high-end smart phones, and gaming consoles. These cards are ideal for capturing high-resolution video, fast data processing, and seamless performance in applications like virtual reality (VR) and high-definition video recording. UHS cards are essential for modern, data-intensive digital media usage.

The professionals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The professionals segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In professional applications, secure digital memory cards are widely used for tasks requiring high-speed data storage and reliability. Photographers, videographers, and content creators rely on SD cards for storing high-resolution images, 4K video footage, and large data files. The growing demand for faster write speeds, larger capacities, and enhanced durability in these sectors continues to drive advancements in SD card technology.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is expected to register the largest market share during the forecast period due to the rising demand for portable electronic devices. Countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea are major contributors to this expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of mobile devices, growing digital media consumption, and advancements in storage technology. Additionally, the region's strong manufacturing base and the presence of key players in the memory card industry further support market growth, while increasing IoT and automotive applications contribute to future opportunities.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period driven by the high adoption of smart phones, digital cameras, and other consumer electronics. The United States and Canada are key markets, with increasing demand for portable storage solutions in sectors like photography, gaming, and automotive. North America's advanced technological infrastructure and strong presence of memory card manufacturers also fuel the demand for high-capacity and high-performance SD cards.
