Rugged Display Market Analysis

The Rugged Display Market size is estimated at USD 10.39 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 12.91 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.43% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The market is anticipated to witness a stimulating growth during the forecast period, owing to an increasing demand from various end-user industries.

  • For instance, oil and gas companies need to monitor and maintain assets that cover vast tracts of land both onshore and offshore. These companies need to guarantee asset integrity and proactively spot and manage potential issues in a fast and effective manner. This is required to minimize downtime and maximize productivity, ensuring continuous operation, thus, needs rugged display devices.
  • Rugged display devices come with various advance features, such as improved impact resistance, durability, dust and moisture resistance, readability, wide temperature range, improved contrast ratio, higher display brightness, and low-power consumption, which may positively impact the global market.
  • The key drivers that have driven the market growth are cut in the total cost of ownership (TCO) offered by ruggedized products, when compared to consumer-grade devices in rough environments and rapid growth in the demand for HMI and IoT in different industrial sectors.
  • However, COVID-19 has impacted businesses of several industries, hampering automation and industrial process control. This has impacted the use of HMI, SCADA, and distributed control systems. The impact of COVID-19 on this ecosystem of industrial control systems has challenged the rugged industrial displays market.

Rugged Display Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the The Rugged Display Market according to our research experts:

Rugged Tablets are Expected to Hold Major Share

  • Rugged tablets are specially designed computers that can sustain harsh environments and can be easily operated in rough conditions, such as extreme temperatures, strong vibrations, dry or wet conditions. True rugged tablets are built sturdy inside out, therefore, have the ability to withstand sand, dust, dirt, ice, water, and other extremities.
  • Owing to many advantages, such as readability in direct sun, fully sealed keywords to restrict intrusion of dust or any liquids, strength, durability, along with easy installations in various automotive and defense machinery, there is a substantial increase in the purchase for rugged tablets in sectors, such as defense, healthcare, transportation, retail, agriculture.
  • Fully rugged tablets are the highest selling rugged tablets among the three types. However, high costs and increasing cut-throat competition are a few of the obstacles, which are restricting the growth of rugged tablets.
  • America is the dominating player in the global market for rugged tablets. Zebra and Panasonic are the two popular and highest manufacturing brands in the United States. In July 2019, Zebra Technologies Corporation introduced its new high-performance L10 Android ultra-rugged tablet as a part of Zebra’s extensive portfolio of government and enterprise tablets as well as purpose-built mobile computers for the rigors of challenging warehouse, manufacturing, construction, and field operations environments.
