Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] November 08: Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced TrendForce has named it as the number one third-party supplier of SSDs in the channel for all of 2023; leading channel SSD shipments for the 7th consecutive year. Based on the numbers provided by TrendForce, Kingston accounted for a massive 34 percent of the units shipped in 2023.
Kingston remained the top SSD shipment leader in 2023 maintaining a solid advantage and saw growth in market share over 2022. The results reinforced Kingston as the clear leader in SSD production, as the second-place supplier accounted for only 11 percent of the total channel market. This is widely due to its vast worldwide sales network, a top-tier SSD portfolio and exceptional customer support.
According to the latest findings, shipments of branded SSDs in the retail market reached 118 million units in 2023, reflecting a 3.7% YoY growth. Most PCs are equipped with 256GB or 512GB SSDs, which often prove insufficient for gamers and high-performance users. As a result, many users upgraded to SSDs with over 2TB of storage, driving increased sales. TrendForce also noted that many PCs purchased during the pandemic have now entered their typical replacement cycle, further contributing to market growth.
