Description

Desktop As A Service Market Size:

Desktop As A Service Market is projected to expand at a 12.32% CAGR, attaining USD 14.093 billion by 2030 from USD 7.885 billion in 2025.

Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) is a cloud computing service model that allows users to access virtual desktops remotely, without the need for physical hardware or on-premises software. Instead, the desktop environment is hosted and managed by a third-party provider, who delivers it over the internet to the end-users. In a DaaS environment, the provider typically handles tasks such as provisioning, maintenance, updates, security, and data backup, freeing the end-users from those responsibilities. The end-users can access their virtual desktops from any device with an internet connection, including laptops, tablets, and smartphones, and can use them as if they were running on a physical desktop.

Desktop As A Service Market Growth Drivers:

  • Growing number of smart devices

The increasing number of smart devices is a major driver for the Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) market, as it creates a need for a solution that can provide access to desktop environments and applications across different devices and operating systems. The United States General Services Administration (GSA) has reported that the number of mobile devices used by government employees has increased significantly in recent years. With the proliferation of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other mobile devices, employees are increasingly using these devices to access their work-related applications and data. This has created a need for a solution that can deliver a consistent user experience across multiple devices and operating systems while ensuring security and compliance. DaaS solutions can provide this consistency by delivering a virtual desktop environment that can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. This allows employees to work from anywhere, using the device that is most convenient for them, without compromising the security or performance of the desktop environment.

  • Increased availability of high-speed Internet

The Increased Availability of High-speed Internet significantly benefits the Desktop-as-a-Service market as it enables DaaS providers to deliver desktop environments and applications over the internet with improved performance and reliability. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reports that the availability of high-speed internet has improved significantly in recent years. According to the FCC's 2021 Broadband Deployment Report, 97% of Americans now have access to high-speed fixed broadband internet services. High-speed internet connections are critical to the performance of DaaS solutions because they allow users to access desktop environments and applications with low latency and high bandwidth. This is especially important for applications that require high-performance computing, such as video editing, CAD, and 3D modeling.

Desktop As A Service Market Segmentation Analysis:

  • Based on end-user, the desktop-as-a-service market is expected to witness healthy growth in the IT and telecom segment.

The Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) market, which provides cloud-based desktop solutions, is expected to experience significant growth during the projected period, particularly among IT and telecom end-users. DaaS enables organizations to easily provision and manage virtual desktops and applications from the cloud, enabling employees to work from anywhere on any device. This technology helps to reduce upfront costs and lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of desktop equipment while providing improved security, user experience, and productivity.  

Desktop As A Service Market Geographical Outlook:

  • North America accounts for a significant share of the global desktop-as-a-service market.

Based on geography, the desktop-as-a-service market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The North American desktop-as-a-service market is a significant contributor to the overall growth of the global DaaS market. The region has a high adoption rate of cloud-based solutions and advanced IT infrastructure, which has facilitated the growth of the market. The United States is one of the largest markets for DaaS due to the high penetration of cloud computing and the large number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adopting DaaS solutions. The growth of the market in North America can also be attributed to the increasing trend of remote working, which was accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
