A logistics handheld display is a portable electronic device designed to capture, display, and manage real-time logistics data efficiently. It facilitates seamless tracking, scanning, and monitoring of inventory or shipments, enhancing operational accuracy. By providing instant data visibility, the logistics handheld display improves decision-making and reduces manual errors, while its compact design ensures mobility and ease of use across various logistics operations.
The main types of logistics handheld displays include rugged handheld displays and consumer-grade handheld displays. Rugged handheld displays are durable devices built for logistics operations, designed to withstand harsh environments while supporting tasks such as scanning, tracking, and inventory management. These devices use various technologies, including liquid crystal display LCD, organic light-emitting diode OLED, e-ink, and others. They are distributed through direct sales, distributors, online channels, and more. Their applications include inventory management, order picking, asset tracking, delivery management, and other logistics functions. Key end-users include warehousing, transportation, retail, manufacturing, and other industries.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the transport services sector by driving up costs for vehicles, spare parts, and fuel, key inputs often sourced from tariff-affected regions. Freight operators, logistics providers, and public transportation systems are facing squeezed profit margins as higher equipment and maintenance costs coincide with limited ability to pass on these expenses to customers due to competitive pressures. The uncertainty has also delayed fleet modernization and the adoption of greener, more efficient vehicles, slowing progress toward sustainability goals. To adapt, transport firms are optimizing route planning, investing in fuel efficiency technologies, renegotiating supplier contracts, and exploring collaborative logistics models to share costs and mitigate the impact of higher tariffs.

The increasing acceptance of e-commerce is expected to drive the growth of the logistics handheld display market in the coming years. E-commerce refers to the online exchange of goods and services through websites, apps, or digital platforms. This growing acceptance is fueled by the convenience it offers, allowing consumers to shop anytime and anywhere without visiting physical stores, saving time and effort, and encouraging more people to adopt online shopping. Logistics handheld displays support e-commerce by enabling real-time inventory tracking, accelerating order picking, and ensuring accurate delivery management, thereby streamlining operations from the warehouse to the customer's doorstep. For example, in August 2025, according to the United States Census Bureau, a U.S.-based government agency, U.S. retail e-commerce sales in the second quarter of 2025 were estimated at $304.2 billion, marking a 5.3% increase from the same quarter in 2024. E-commerce sales accounted for 16.3% of total retail sales during this period. Therefore, the rising acceptance of e-commerce is driving the growth of the logistics handheld display market.
