One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing demand for storage devices in smartphones.

The key vendors dominating this market space are Kingston Technology Co., SanDisk Corp., Toshiba Electronics Europe, and Transcend Information Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Hardware team said: ''Vendors are offering such high storage capacity products to retain customers and gain a customer base from other storage products.

To capitalize on this trend, vendors are providing SD cards with high storage capacities.''
According to the report, the introduction of a new generation of technology in the Communication industry through high-end cell phones and smartphones is driving the demand for increased storage capacities from consumers. The availability of advanced and integrated solutions in smartphones drives consumers to exploit the advantages of these features.
