Growing trends of remote working and BYOD policies are creating potential growth opportunities for virtual desktop services, transforming the IT infrastructure. Desktop-as-a-service is a component of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) where it is outsourced to and operated by third-party through a cloud-based server. The cloud services provider hosts the infrastructure, network resources, and storage in the cloud server, streaming a virtual desktop, where a user can access the desktop’s data and applications through a web browser or other software. Moreover, benefits such as cost-effectiveness, data control, continuous security control, and centralized administration along with potential opportunities for smart factory are also expected to foster the growth of the global DaaS market. It has been projected that nearly 80% of all virtual desktops will be DaaS by 2024, up from over 30% in 2021 across the globe. Therefore, all these factors are expected to influence the market growth positively over the forecast period.
