Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Market size was valued at USD 10.68 billion in 2024 and is expected to cross USD 31.86 billion by the end of 2037, expanding at more than 8.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of virtual desktop infrastructure is estimated at USD 11.43 billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing government investments in various regions into digitization and IT infrastructure, increasing implementation of BYOD (bring-your-own-device) policy, and growing demand for VDI technology led by rising IoT adoption. As of 2021, there were about 10 billion active IoT devices worldwide, which is estimated to surpass 25 billion by 2030. Furthermore, IT consumption trends are changing efficiently. Adoption of cloud computing solutions are increasing immensely as businesses and organizations are transforming through automation and virtualization. These factors are creating potential growth opportunities for the virtual desktop infrastructure market.

From a security standpoint, virtual desktops are similar to their physical counterparts – vulnerable to the all types of same attacks. Besides, excess network traffic on each virtual representative and their central server poses various security threat, and without endpoint protections, the damage can be severe if the hackers move from virtual session into the server. These factors are likely to restrain the growth of the market. However, reduced hardware costs and centralized administration along with flexible workload processing abilities are driving businesses to deploy desktop virtualization solutions, creating new opportunities for the growth of the market. A survey stated that over 95% of employees do not want to return to office environment and prefer at least partial remote working, while over 60% prefer fully remote working.
