HDD shipments will expand for the first time in three years due to surveillance and special demand for virtual currency, but 2.5-inch sales will end
The number of HDD shipments in 2021 is expected to be almost flat compared to the previous year
At the beginning of his lecture, Mr. Kusumoto gave an overview of the trends in the HDD market (global market). The results for the year before last (2019) and last year (2020), and the forecast for this year (2021). Since the figures are actual figures up to the second quarter of 2021, only the second half (third and fourth quarters) of 2021 are forecast figures. The figures are shipping quantity, shipping value, average unit price, total shipping storage capacity, and average storage capacity per drive.
