According to various sources, including International Data Corporation (IDC), Cisco, and others, here are some projected data production estimates from 2024 to 2030:
| Year | Estimated Data Production (Zettabytes) |
|---|---|
| 2024 | 105-120 ZB |
| 2025 | 130-150 ZB |
| 2026 | 160-180 ZB |
| 2027 | 190-210 ZB |
| 2028 | 220-240 ZB |
| 2029 | 250-270 ZB |
| 2030 | 280-300 ZB |
This is likely understated.
