Data storage demand to multiply four-fold by 2025

The report further states that 60% of data generated globally would be due to business enterprises

Data storage technology will be required to supply over 19 Zeta bytes( ZB) of storage space by 2025 to meet growing data storage requirements, said a recent study by International Data Corporation (IDC). 

1ZB equals 1 trillion GB and only 5.5ZB of storage media was required globally in the last decade.

The study noted that the total data generated globally would reach 163 ZB, fuelled largely by the widespread use of embedded devices and artificial intelligence that constantly monitor data. The study observes that while the last decade was marked by data generation through smartphones and social media, the next
