Video storage systems (VSS) are experiencing explosive growth that should continue for many years into the future. However, as with any exciting and high-growth market, there is much speculation about the impact and size of this market over time.

The market for video storage systems is also dependant on many other supporting markets such as consumer and commercial cameras, commercial DVRs and NVRs, video servers, enterprise and video editing software, and other products. It also, by necessity, must include that portion of the computer and storage market that is dedicated to video and image storage as found in notebooks, desktops, servers, workstations, and enterprise storage systems.

For this reason, this report describes the VSS market in several ways—both by leading application area and also by traditional vertical markets—which helps when analyzing the texture of the market. What has resulted is a cross-matrix of applications and vertical markets that gives great granularity to the overall VSS market.

The total VSS market is large—with projected revenue in excess of $100 billion in 2012. Consumer VSS applications represent over 80 percent of the market throughout the forecast period. While the commercial market represents only a small fraction of the total VSS market from a revenue standpoint, it is one of the most dynamic in terms of true VSS development.
