LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global rugged devices market report. This research report also lists seven other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
In 2015, the global rugged device market was valued at USD 4.36 billion. The market was dominated by the defense and military segment with a share of 42.72%. The segment was followed by the commercial segment with 23.79%, the government segment with 19.28%, and the industry segment with 14.22%. The defense and military and government sectors opt for fully rugged devices due to high ruggedness requirement and extreme environment compared to the commercial segment.
Technological specifications, application, and functionality of rugged devices are the same as commercial consumer-grade devices. The difference is the high initial cost of procurement owing to the ruggedness of the devices. However, the cost of rugged devices is realized over the life of the product, in the form of low cost of ownership.
Competitive vendor landscape
“The competition in the industry is intensifying and is characterized by evolving standards, significantly changing smart technologies, and frequent new product developments, along with changing customer requirements,” says Chetan Mohan, a lead computing devices research analyst from Technavio.
