Although worldwide client SSD demand declined YoY, end market elasticity and diversification, driven by continued ASP declines, helped to fuel healthy demand\u00a0of Kingston\u2019s\u00a0high quality SSD solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advanced performance of Kingston\u2019s SSD segment comes on the back of introducing power packed products across categories to empower the users. Kingston introduced the\u00a0NV2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD\u00a0for all mainstream users looking for cutting edge performance for their daily-to-day use. To tap the ever-evolving segment of high-performance users looking to push boundaries, Kingston brought the\u00a0KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, and\u00a0FURY Renegade PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD\u00a0was launched for all the extreme gamers looking for limitless performance on the battleground with an immersive gaming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market share data from analyst research company&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/trendfocus.com\/?utm_source=pr\">TRENDFOCUS<\/a>&nbsp;showed Kingston as the #1 SSD vendor in the channel with 24% market share and 22 million client SSDs shipped for all of 2022. In Q3 alone, Kingston\u2019s client SSD market share grew to a significant 28.4% in the channel which displays a healthy upward unit growth despite ongoing macro challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to TRENDFOCUS, total client SSD unit market decreased 15% YoY in 2022, a sharp reverse after strong pandemic-driven PC demand led to a prosperous 2021. The impact on PC demand was stark with notebook and desktop PC units decreasing by nearly equal percentage rates of 13% YoY. Although client PCs saw a decline, the rapid adoption of solid-state drives by clients were largely due to module pricing falling to an all-time low. Many of the PCs purchased during the early days of the pandemic will enter an upgrade or replacement cycle which will further boost system demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2022, single-drive SSD attach rates on desktop PCs reached 75% and are forecasted to hit 90% by the end of 2023 given Microsoft\u2019s mandate to phase out HDDs as primary PC storage in the second half of next year with only a small number of HDD-enabled systems shipping. This will continue to fuel growth opportunities into 2024,\u201d said Don Jeanette, vice president, TRENDFOCUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u201cThe 2022 research findings validate Kingston\u2019s presence and position in the channel SSD market,\u201d said Kingston. \u201cWith the performance benefits of SSDs now accessible to more consumers worldwide, Kingston\u2019s market share will continue to grow as we solidify our product portfolio with strong NVMe offerings as well as legacy SATA solutions optimized for notebooks and desktop. We are proud to bring in a wide array of product portfolio like the NV2 SSD for mainstream users, KC3000 SSD for high-performance users, and Kingston Renegade SSD for extreme gamers. It takes an entire team to accomplish this feat and we thank and share our success with our partners, vendors, and customers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although worldwide client SSD demand declined YoY, end market elasticity and diversification, driven by continued ASP declines, helped to fuel healthy demand of Kingston\u2019s high quality SSD solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":54938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[4836,96,2727,1656],"class_list":["post-54937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-kingston","tag-technology","tag-technology-adaption","tag-technology-investment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
