Market Trends of Desktop Virtualization Industry

Cloud Deployment Mode is Expected to Witness Significant Growth

  • Various organizations are using cloud computing to reduce businesses' operational costs. Easy implementation, accessibility, and flexibility of cloud hosting are expected to drive organizations' adoption of cloud computing. Cloud deployment includes service models, such as Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS), and Application/Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Desktop virtualization is offered as a service over cloud networks, with all computing and supporting infrastructure hosted on the service provider's end in the cloud deployment mode, which makes the migration of data between working environments easy.
  • Application streaming over the cloud is gaining popularity in the industry, with many businesses choosing standalone application services. Cloud is preferred across industries, providing better scalability, data management, and cost savings. According to Flexera Software, in 2023, 47 percent of respondents are already running significant workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 
  • Businesses can easily create new desktops for their workforce without needing to purchase physical PCs. When these resources are no longer needed, they can be turned off, at which point the customer is no longer billed. Although there are various pricing models, consumption-based pricing is a unique benefit of cloud desktops.
  • Cloud deployment makes the migration of data between working environments easy. Also, companies have the option to scale up their requirements and procure additional computing power and data without the need for physical installation. This flexibility of DaaS enables better resource management.
  • In June 2023, Cloud Software Group announced a partnership with Midis Group, in its collaboration to serve its channel and consumers in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The collaboration offers Cloud Software Group the local resources consumers need to help their transformative technology collaboration and the scale required to expand its presence in these regions.
  • With servers and equipment hosted on the service provider's side, the need for technical staff and IT resources to maintain and operate systems is eliminated. In cloud-deployed desktop virtualization solutions, utilities and applications are updated automatically. Users do not need to be "pushed" for updates. The fact that users may access their virtual desktop or programs using almost any device means that regardless of whether they prefer PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, or Android, they will see the same applications that work in the same way and have them conveniently available whenever they need them.

North America is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share

  • The North American region is considered to be the global hub for many industry verticals, and as a result, it is the largest regional market for desktop virtualization. The United States is the largest consumer of desktop virtualization in North America. The presence of several cloud service providers and an increasing number of hosted servers in the United States have contributed to the growth of the market in North America.
  • The presence of major companies in the United States has led to the setting up of new workspaces in Canada due to the proximity of its developed counterpart and emphasis on installing eco-friendly and energy-saving practices, thus bolstering the growth of the market across the region.
  • The early adoption of new technologies by organizations in the region is the primary driving force behind global dominance. Large cloud service providers play a significant role in the growth of cloud-based desktop virtualization deployment in the region.
  • The North American IT and telecommunications industry is the largest among other regional markets. Industries, such as banking, healthcare, and government organizations, handle large databases of sensitive information. They are looking forward to using desktop virtualization deployments, as they preserve the integrity of the intellectual property and simultaneously provide flexibility to users.
