both in units and total capacity drops purchased after the floods in Thailand and increased cloud and the Tablet PC market slows

may not be an accident, but the external hard disk consumer market has declined over the past two years in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa), according to new figures Futuresource Consulting.

new data provided to The Guardian shows that the total capacity acquired fell year on year for the first time - and it is unclear who will get people to buy more tablets that connect to cloud storage

The main cause of the fall seems to be rising prices, initially caused by floods in Thailand in October 2011, where there are a number of component manufacturers hard drive. This has caused a serious shortage - and its allies to the growing consumer adoption of services in the cloud storage like Dropbox, which offer several gigabytes of free storage, meant a decline in sales of hard drives in the fourth quarter of 2011 , which continued until 2012, says Mats Larsson, market analyst at Futuresource.

    Despite
  • supplies are back to normal, Larsson does not expect a recovery in the market at its peak in 2010, when the number of purchase units peaked in 2010 to 28.1 million. Let fell 8% to 25.9 m in 2011 and 17% to 21.5 million in 2012.
"We think this year will be displayed shipments between 5% and 10% growth - probably around 7%," said Larsson. This would transfer between 22.6my 23.65M - and about 23 million provided Larsson

Although the average size of the purchase of the unit has increased linearly from 2008-1098 581GB in UK in 2012 - in line with the general trend to halve the cost of storing all 18 months - the total storage acquired was reduced from 25.4 petabytes (millions of gigabytes) in 2011 to 23.6PB in 2012. Growth was slower, even before the floods:. After two years of more than 30% growth in 2011 has increased by 13% in 2010, according to figures from Futuresource


"The second half of 2012 showed minimal signs of positive growth, with even higher prices than a year ago," said Larsson. He noted that some retailers in the, purchase shares, hoping to convince retailers to lower prices - a hope that no one noticed.
