[pco]After 90, the disk should be the most accessible digital product, and it is used at modest prices, either as a copy of the study material or as a transfer copy of the audio and video entertainment document. But what has happened in these years
The u-discretion had been marked by the presence not only of well-known storage brands, both at home and abroad, but also by the proliferation of new domestic storage plants. Due to the large demand space and profitability, the market has sprung into a variety of new flash drive items, with increasing reading and writing speed and volume, and declining prices over the years. However, after more than a decade of fire, looking back at the frequency with which the flash drive has been used in recent years, it is no longer a tool of the year, but is increasingly being replaced. How did the u. S. Drive get to this point? Is there any future chance? Today we discuss。
The profits fell to the bottom of a one dollar industry
Starting in 2014, the overall market for the disk began to slide, with the contraction of the industry leading to the transformation of about 10 per cent of the disk factory into other industries, with some brands falling significantly or even dropping out of the market. As a result of intense competition, the uad market has been caught up in various price and channel battles, and there has been less room for manufacturers to profit, to the extent that there has been a “one dollar per drive” depression with media reports。
As a computer perimeter, the lower profits of the storage plant will create a scavenging trap, which will not only harm the interests of the user, but will continue to be a vicious cycle. In terms of current electricity prices, the best-selling of the 16g-capacity disk price is between $30 and $40, and the majority of the 64g-capacity disks are within $180. While prices have increased somewhat compared to the 2015-2016 u-disk market (had previously been affected by the netting and storage of products into higher prices), the bargaining space left to manufacturers is already weak, the number of disks is saturated and fewer new users are storing personal data for use。
Large-capacity mobile phones surged, using a change of scenery
With the upgrading of digital products, the transmission of files no longer requires computers to act as transit points, the transmission of small documents and learning materials, which can be sent directly to the terminal equipment in the qqqq/web application at the computer or mobile phone end, the large files can also be stored and downloaded in a network cloud, and various light office ways can reduce the frequency of use of the disk。
Among them, a major factor is the emergence of a foreign military outburst of high-capacity mobile phones, which converts to a mobile mobile network with a computer-limited disk. In addition to some externally scalable mobile phones, the built-in mobile phone is now used to break 32g capacity, and the large memory of 128gb/256gb is more common for individual users, which meets most of their access needs。
There are many alternatives from flashcards to ssd
Not to mention the double-head flash drive, wifi wifi wireless disk, and the network memory, which is the later flash card, but also the subject of great competition. Flashcards are attached to the existence of digital products, and flashcards can be used as disks, which cannot be used in reverse. With the rise of digital products, the number of them will be much greater than that of computers, and the need for flash cards can be seen. Thus, the disk serves as both a storage medium for digital products and, together with a card reader, as an “independent disk” with a price advantage。
In addition to the flash card, the other opponent with the second kill capability is the portable ssd. According to industry reports, the total share of global market flash cards and disks is likely to be only 7 per cent this year and next, but the share of ssd will reach 43 per cent, a clear contrast between the two, which are not a quantitative counterpart in the future. As a data tool for storage, ssd has the capacity to move hard drives and the portability of disks, replacing the disks is a matter of time and time, and the only reason it is now blocked is price。
The grid shut down slows down
Domestic regulation of the use of online cloud content and the proliferation of pirated and illegal content make it difficult for the ucd market to resist the contraction as the speed of the network increases and the demand for the pc market declines。
However, during the previous period, the news of the suspension of free web-based cloud services had been burgeoning, users ' customary storage channels had been blocked and the ucd industry had some market space at the current stage, based on safety and value for money。
Talk about the future? Type-c interface is an opportunity
As alternatives mature, the overall decline in the ucd market is inevitable. In addition to the advantage of a small portable, high value for money, the u-disk was previously limited to pc-end applications, and a re-engineering of the u-disk would be required. The unification of the usb type-c interface now brings more product applications to the u-disk market。
This would not only ease the break-through of the decline in the demand for diskettes, but would also avoid additional costs due to different manufacturers of equipment。
Summarizing: the reason for the contraction of the ucd market is, on the one hand, the diversion of market shares from similar products with alternative ucd functions, such as flashcards and portable ssds with advantages that are more in line with the need for use; on the other hand, the trend is towards the storage of pay clouds, and the rise of the disk meets the fast storage needs of users; and finally, the emergence of sufficient and other digital products stored internally on mobile phones has also served as an alternative storage tool for ucds. Thus, from a manufacturer's point of view, the demand and profits of users in the traditional udisk industry have been diminishing, and the future udisc market will be a small market without a breakthrough at the type-c interface。
