The market would grow even faster if prices would come down further. I'd kill (well, probably not, but definitely maim) for a sub £300 2TB M.2 SSD, or a sub £300 4TB 2.5" SATA SSD.

33% grow is useless information unless they state how many they sell 🙄
I'd be curious about real sales numbers. Still haven't heard about all too many being in private use.

Hmm, I never heard of Memblaze, Nimbus, or Violin. Also, where's Mushkin or Plextor?
Anyway, I'm a bit surprised there isn't a SATA4 by now. Such a thing would reduce the need for PCIe interfaces and ought to be fast enough for the foreseeable future.

Display port 1.3 does 32.4gbits/sec, so it should be no problem designing some new cable connection for internal data drives.
"DisplayPort version 1.4 was published March 1, 2016.[21] No new transmission modes are defined, so HBR3 (32.4 Gbit/s) as introduced in version 1.3 still remains as the highest available mode"

If prices drop by 66% sure.

Nope. M.2 is still serial as it just a form factor that is based around the PCI Express specification. Sata Express also still uses serial communication as it just combines SATA3, with PCI Express and eliminates the middle man (the SATA bus).
