The latest TrendForce report has named Kingston the best 3rd-party SSD supplier in the channel for 2023, netting them the 7th consecutive win.
The brand maintained its dominant position in SSD shipments, showing an increase in market share over 2022 which shows a solidifying performance and they attributed the success to its extensive global sales network, strong SSD lineup, and exceptional customer support.
TrendForce’s latest research indicates that branded SSD shipments in the retail sector reached 118 million units in 2023, a 3.7% year-over-year increase. With many PCs equipped with 256GB or 512GB SSDs, which often fall short for gamers and high-performance users, demand rose for SSDs with over 2TB capacity. Additionally, many computers purchased during the pandemic have reached their typical replacement cycle, boosting market growth.
In 2023, Kingston expanded its product offerings in both external SSD and datacenter segments. The new DC600M Enterprise SSD, designed for mixed-use workloads, delivers reliable Quality of Service (QoS) to meet latency and IOPS consistency for service-level agreements. Building on the success of the XS2000 external SSD, Kingston introduced the more affordable XS1000 External SSD, a compact, 29-gram device for on-the-go users. These new additions further strengthened Kingston’s SSD portfolio, leading to record-breaking channel SSD sales and its seventh consecutive year as the top channel SSD supplier.
“We are honored to receive this top ranking once again”, said Kingston. “From the start, Kingston has remained committed to serving our customers and channel partners worldwide.
