The growing adoption of remote and hybrid work models is a key factor propelling the global market. With more companies shifting to flexible work arrangements, there has been a rising need for centralized, easily accessible data repositories. Furthermore, advanced cloud storage technologies are increasing demand from organizations to establish secure and scalable video surveillance solutions. Organizations need secure, efficient, and inexpensive storage for the expanding surveillance data volumes created by modern video management systems. For instance, on 23^rd September 2024, Wasabi technologies and Johnson controls declared a collaboration to enable high-performance, safe, scalable, and cost-effective cloud storage for video surveillance. Integrating Wasabi's hot cloud storage with Johnson Controls' exacqVision video management system ensures data protection and seamless access for mission-critical video management. Moreover, edge computing adoption is growing and thus affecting the cloud storage market.

Another major reason for growth in the market is the exponential rise in unstructured data, like e-mails, social media postings, multimedia files, and sensor data from IoT devices. Businesses are looking to adopt solutions that can handle storage, manage, and effectively analyze this data. Cloud storage provides a scalable and flexible infrastructure, which would accommodate these data types in addition to providing advanced features in metadata tagging and lifecycle management to optimize storage costs as well as access efficiency. Rising need for efficient data management in artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics fuels the demand for advanced storage solutions. Businesses require large amounts of scalable and secure storage infrastructure to handle a large volume of data that maintains energy efficiency. On November 12, 2024, Hitachi Vantara announced enhancements to its virtual storage platform one, introducing an all-new quad-level cell (QLC) flash storage array and an object storage appliance. These additions aim to improve data management for AI and analytics workloads, offering increased scalability, security, and energy efficiency. Cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes and serverless computing are pushing the organizations to shift towards cloud environments. These applications require scalable storage solutions that can dynamically adapt to the workloads of the application, thus ensuring performance and cost efficiency.
