Rugged tablet: Key market research findings

  • Transition from conventional to rugged devices
  • Growing benefits of rugged tablets among end-users

Technavio has added a new market research report on the global rugged tablet market, to its tablets portfolio. The global rugged tablet market is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of around 15% between 2015 and 2019 due to the long battery life of rugged tablets and availability of free apps like Microsoft 365, Google Drive, and TeamViewer. The Americas dominate the global market for rugged tablets, followed by the EMEA and the APAC regions. As many rugged tablet users in North America are loyal to manufacturers like Xplore and Panasonic, the market for rugged tablets in the Americas is expected to increase during the next five years.     

The new industry research report from Technavio discusses in detail the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

“The demand for mobile computing devices are increasingly rapidly owing to the vast changes in the business environment across the world. The adoption of mobile computing devices such as rugged tablets has helped organizations to solve issues related to low battery backup, high maintenance, lack of OS compatibility, and low-scale protection. These tablets are durable and can be customized according to the application. These tablets also help enterprises in overcoming errors and the delays in data handling and reporting,” says Navin Rajendra, Lead Analyst, Hardware & Semiconductor, Technavio Research.

The ruggedized tablets are lighter, more portable, and easier to use than notebooks and PCs. These tablets have many business-oriented apps such as Microsoft 365, Google Drive, and TeamViewer. Also, they provide faster accessibility to any business operation than other devices. Rugged tablets support viewing multimedia content, browsing the Internet, video calling, and data analysis, besides providing high-quality HD viewing experience on a small screen. Many rugged tablets also have 3G card slots for mobile network access.

The key vendors in the global rugged tablet market include Xplore Technologies, Panasonic, DT Research, and Getac. Competition in this market is intense and is characterized by the evolving standards, significantly changing smart technologies, and frequent new product launches during the forecast period.
