The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global database software is expected to grow to $274.48 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 13.8%. Businesses that engage with various types of data for analysis and making future decisions in today's data-driven world must be able to store data without difficulties and with simplicity. The rise of data-driven firms and e-commerce companies will significantly drive and fuel the database software market on a global basis. For instance, according to Forrester, businesses that rely on database management software tools to make decisions are 58% more likely to beat their revenue goals than non-data driven companies. Therefore, this continued increase in data driven businesses drives the database software market. Major players in the database software market are Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, SAP, Amazon, Redis, Teradata, Couch base, SQLite, MongoDB, Tandem, Mark Logic, ArangoDB, MariaDB, TablePlus, EnterpriseOB, RavenDB, NCR, Pervasive Software, FileMaker Inc., Software AG, HP (Vertica System), Informatica Corporation, InterSystems, iWay Software (subsidiary of IBI), MetaMatrix (subsidiary of Red Hat), Actian Corporation. A rising number of security concerns are expected to limit the growth of companies in the database software market during the forecast period. Security concerns have been increasing in recent times due to online availability of personal data. The database software store large databases online and these data of stakeholders/customers are accessed by teams around the globe which poses the potential for mistreatment of data. The data in the database software and other software faces security concerns including corporate/competitive espionage, fraud, ID theft, nations-state espionage and unauthorized sales of data to third-party. These issues restrict the growth of database software. For example, according to Cybersecurity Ventures, a global cyber economy researcher, cybercrime is expected to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. The cybercrime costs cover stolen money, lost productivity, theft of intellectual property, theft of personal and financial data, damage and destruction of data, embezzlement, fraud, and others. Thus, the rising number of security concerns will limit the growth of the database software market. With Big Data gaining traction, database software companies are focusing on products to store and process Big Data. Databases such as SQL or NoSQL are tools to store, process and analyze Big Data. Efficient processing and storing of big data enable organizations to gather key insights and patterns from the available data and helps them in making intelligent decisions based on the same. Database software companies are therefore investing in adding new features to enable faster and more effective management of huge volumes of data. Some of the major database software tools include AWS DynamoDB, Azure Cosmos DB, and Amazon DocumentDB.

Major companies in the computer hardware market include Dell Technologies Inc., HP, Apple, Lenovo Group Limited, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Quanta Computer, Pegatron Corp, Intel Corporation, Hon Hai Precision Industry, and Inventec Corp. Electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) is currently the largest growing waste stream and rising regulations regarding its recycle and disposal are likely to hinder the growth of the computer hardware market. E-waste is hazardous and expensive to treat in an environmentally sound manner, and there is a general lack of standardized legislation or enforcement regarding e-waste. Close to 50 million tons of e-waste is generated globally every year and this e-waste is generally discarded in the general waste stream. Within these regions, e-waste is recycled using rudimentary techniques. E-waste has adverse environmental and health implications, for example, e-waste represents only 2% of solid waste in landfill globally but it accounts for up to 70% of hazardous materials. Safety and health issues, labor issues and regulatory frameworks related to the management of e-waste can be a threat to this market going forward. Many technology companies are introducing tablets to replace laptop computers. Portability, the ability to connect to 3G and 4G networks, and the light weight of these devices are the major reasons for individuals increasingly opting for tablets. According to a Nielsen study, less than one-third of tablet owners surveyed indicated that their desktop usage will be limited or not at all. This decreasing usage of desktop computers is encouraging computer hardware manufacturers to design and produce tablet computers.

Computer peripheral equipment is any device that is not essential to the computer's functioning but can be connected to it externally for added functionality. The main types of computer peripheral equipment are mouse, keyboard, monitor, printer and scanner. A mouse is a handheld input device used to move cursor around a computer screen. The computer peripheral equipment can be wired or wireless and are implemented in various areas such as residential and commercial applications. The global computer peripheral equipment market is segmented - 1) By Type: Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, Printer, Scanner 2) By Connectivity: Wired, Wireless 3) By End-Use: Residential, Commercial The global computer peripheral equipment market size grew from $141.24 billion in 2022 to $146.66 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The size of computer peripheral equipment industry is expected to grow to $166.7 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.3%. Data volume generated from personal devices and various business operations in many industries is rapidly increasing; this is expected to drive the demand for storage devices during the forecast period. For instance, the total data generated worldwide is projected to reach 163 zettabytes (ZB) by 2025. In order to manage this rising data volume, the demand for storage devices from both corporate and individual customers is expected to drive the computer peripheral equipment market in the forecast period. Major companies in the computer peripheral equipment market include Intel Corporation, Lenovo Group Limited, HP, Dell Technologies Inc., Seiko Epson Corp, America Movil, Fujifilm Corporation, Asustek Computer Inc., Sharp Corporation, and Brother Industries, Ltd. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the computer peripheral equipment market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People's Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of 'lock down' and the outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, there has been an increased demand for laptops and related computer hardware as companies look to support their employees working from home. This demand is expected to negate some of the negative impact caused by the outbreak. It is expected that the computer peripheral equipment market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
