The global Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Market was valued at USD 45,896.0 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 300,494.6 million by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 27.5% during the forecast period. Non-volatile memory express (NVMe), also known as non-volatile memory host controller interface (NVMHCI), is a device interface specification that allows a solid-state drive (SSD) to effectively use a high-speed PCIe link in a computer. Intel Corporation, Dell Inc., SAMSUNG, and Seagate Technology LLC are some companies working on this communications interface/protocol.
NVMe is a modern server storage I/O access technique and protocol that allows for quick access to NVM-based storage and memory. NVM Express (NVMe) is an optimized, high-performance scalable host controller interface designed to address the needs of Enterprise and Client systems that utilize PCI Express-based solid-state storage. Designed to move beyond the dark ages of hard disk drive technology.
At the Intel Developer Forum 2007, the initial details of a novel standard for accessing non-volatile memory were announced, with NVMHCI being presented as the host-side protocol of a proposed architectural design that included open NAND flash interface working group on the memory (flash) chips side. In the same year, an Intel-led NVMHCI working group was founded. The NVMHCI 1.0 standard was developed and published on Intel's website in April 2008.
Formerly, most SSDs interacted with the rest of a computer system through buses such as SATA, SAS, or fiber channel. SATA has become the most common means to connect SSDs in personal computers until they became widely accessible; however, SATA was built primarily for communicating with mechanical hard disc drives (HDDs), and has grown increasingly insufficient for SSDs. The adoption of NVMe interface is expected to rise as next-generation data-intensive applications utilize low-latency NVMe flash-based storage to meet growing customer demand.

Demand for NVMe is increasing in SSDs servers and storage appliances, which is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. This communication interface and driver provide a command set and feature set for PCIe-based SSDs with the objective of efficient performance and interoperability across a broad variety of corporate and client systems. NVMe was developed with SSDs in consideration.
It uses high-speed PCIe sockets for connect between the storage interface and the system CPU, irrespective of the storage form factor. NVMe is gradually becoming another industry standard for data centre servers and consumer devices such as laptops, desktop PCs, and next-generation gaming consoles due to its increased use in SSDs, servers, and storage appliances.
The confluence of Big Data and cloud technology is expected to drive current data-driven research and serve as the foundation for modern e-Science, which has benefitted from the wide availability of low-cost computing and storage resources available on demand. Modern e-Science infrastructures enable the targeting of previously intractable large-scale challenges. Relative value of a gigabyte for primary storage has greatly increased. Thus, rising data generation and demand for data storage and processing infrastructure is expected to drive the market during the forecast period
A computer must be able to boot the operating system from an NVMe SSD to get the most out of it. This needs BIOS support. Most old standard BIOSes do not support booting from NVMe. Users are less likely to opt for a system that has NVMe for playing PC games or utilizing extremely CPU-intensive applications such as editing 2160p (4K)/4320p(8K) videos. Thus, non-compliance of old systems with NVMe is expected to hinder the market during the forecast period.
A storage framework is necessary to speed up external sort, as the complete dataset needs to be loaded and cleared a couple of times throughout the sorting process. By connecting each thread with a different storage device, most current frameworks have attempted to simplify the storage access pattern. This prevents random and concurrent I/O requests. Such regulations restrain the potential of NVMe-based SSDs, which provide high throughput and ample parallelism.
IT and digital transformation have caused significant changes in data storage, and growing expectations for NVMe technology. New performance requirements for storage media are being driven by next-generation applications that include Big Data analytics, cloud-based platforms, and mobile computing.
Digitalization has led to data-driven workloads and ever-proliferating applications, which has exponentially increased the demand for accelerated data storage. Moreover, rise in digitalization in various enterprises is expected to create opportunities for non–volatile memory express market during the forecast period.
The global Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) market is segmented on the basis of products, communication standard, deployment location, verticals and regions.
Based on products, the global Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) market is segmented into Solid-state Drives (SSDs), Adapters, All Flash Arrays, Servers, And Others. The solid-state drivers segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market and is anticipated to grow at a high pace in the coming years.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are gaining prevalence in laptops, desktop computers, and servers. Users are upgrading hard disc drives (HDDs) to SSDs to speed up their old desktop PCs or laptops, as the latter is faster and more reliable than HDDs. SSDs are an excellent choice for new PC builds, servers, and system builders and are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
The servers segment is estimated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to highest storage throughput performance and application responsiveness. Factors such as optimization of servers for maximum capacity and highest throughput performance and storage enclosures available for easy capacity expansion are expected to drive the segment during the forecast period.
