Rugged Handheld Devices Market by Type, Product, Application, and Region 2023-2028
The global rugged handheld devices market size reached US$ 6.43 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 9.03 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.65% during 2023-2028. The rising rate of automation in the industrial and commercial sectors, growing demand for data management systems, the advent of cloud-based rugged devices and wide employment of the product in public safety and defense industries represent some of the key players driving the market.
Rugged handheld devices are electronic devices that are designed to operate in harsh environments and withstand tough conditions. These devices are built to withstand shock, vibration, moisture, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors that can damage or impair their functionality. Rugged handheld devices are typically constructed with durable materials such as metal or high-impact plastic, and may be sealed against water and dust intrusion. They often feature reinforced corners and shock-absorbing materials to protect against drops and impacts. Additionally, they have sunlight-readable displays, long battery life, and barcode scanners to support specific industry applications. As a result, they are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, transportation, logistics, and public safety where mobile computing is required in rugged environments.
Rugged Handheld Devices Market Trends:
One of the primary factors driving the market is the increasing automation rate in the industrial and commercial sectors and growing demand for data management systems. Additionally, rugged handheld devices are designed to perform specialized functions that are specific to particular industries. These functions include barcode scanning, RFID tracking, and GPS navigation that enable workers to perform their tasks efficiently. Other than this, these devices provide workers with the ability to access information on the go, allowing them to perform tasks quickly and efficiently, resulting in increased productivity, reduced downtime, and improved customer satisfaction. Other than this, the rising utilization of rugged handheld devices in public safety and defense industries offers a high level of security. These devices also protect sensitive data and ensure secure communication as they are designed to be secure, with features such as fingerprint scanners, encryption, and remote wipe capabilities. Along with this, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of rugged handheld devices is often lower due to longer lifecycles and less maintenance and repair than consumer-grade mobile devices, which is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the key players operating in the industry. Furthermore, the advent of cloud-based rugged devices eliminates the risk of data loss as the recorded data can be stored directly on a central server, thus avoiding the generation of duplicate data. Moreover, the introduction of new product launches, such as rugged tablets, which are lighter and thinner than earlier models with fingerprint readers and authorized system encryption due to the rising demand for the digitization of electronics, is expected to create a positive market outlook in the coming years.
