Founded in 2017, Hikstorage marks its fifth anniversary as a global storage leader. Starting with video surveillance SSDs, the company now offers a full range of storage solutions including SSDs, memory cards, embedded storage, private NAS and portable SSDs for data centers, industrial control, rail transit, IoT and consumer electronics. In August 2022, Hikstorage launched the HIKSEMI brand overseas, advancing its global strategy. To mark this milestone, we spoke with the President, R&D Director and Global Sales Director about the company's journey and future vision.

President of Hikstorage:

"Despite market volatility, we have built the strength to navigate crises and drive breakthroughs. This capability comes from five years of disciplined execution." The company has shifted from pure OEM to a dual OEM and OBM model, deepening integration across the supply chain and enhancing in-house R&D and manufacturing. He noted that future competition will center on precise demand insight and strong service support, areas where Hikstorage continues to invest.

R&D Director of Hikstorage:

"The next leap in storage lies in lighter, more integrated form factors." While DRAM and NAND remain foundational, interface upgrades like PCIe Gen5 and UFS 4.0 are critical for performance gains. Looking ahead, converged storage-compute architectures will help overcome the memory wall and power constraints, especially as AI workloads grow.

Global Sales Director of Hikstorage:

"Rooted in China, we are built for global competition." Since 2017, business volume has grown nearly 50 times. Today, Hikstorage serves over 150 countries, balancing industry verticals and channel markets while strengthening local service capabilities. This approach has driven steady customer growth and rapid revenue expansion.

Looking Ahead

Hikstorage will stay customer-centric, develop market-driven solutions, and target high-growth segments. "We are not just ready for the next five years. We are excited by them," the leadership team said. "With a clear strategy and global mindset, we are building a better future together with our partners."
