The global enterprise SSD market shows rapid growth: according to data According to TrendForce statistics, the total revenue of the top five manufacturers in the second quarter of 2026 reached US$37.59 billion, a quarterly increase of 103.6%. Such significant dynamics are due to rising prices against the backdrop of an ongoing shortage of NAND flash memory chips.
Samsung remains the largest industry player: The company roughly doubled its revenue in the quarter to $14.35 billion while maintaining its 35.1% share. Analysts talked about the high demand for Samsung’s 176-layer QLC products and the increasing share of high-performance products using the PCIe 5.0 interface.
