This Rugged Handheld Electronic Devices market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The rugged handheld electronic devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.93 billion in 2023 to $8.66 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including a rise in the prevalence of hernias, greater adoption of the internet, higher costs of devices, improvements in efficiency and productivity, and a heightened focus on digitalization.
The rugged handheld electronic devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.41 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period is driven by increased industrialization, rising demand for mobility and connectivity, regulatory compliance and security needs, growth in e-commerce and last-mile delivery, and a growing emphasis on sustainability. Key trends expected to shape this period include technological advancements, developments in wireless charging and power management, expansion of cloud and edge computing, improvements in location-based services (LBS), modular and upgradable design features, and environmental considerations.
The growing trend of industrial automation is expected to drive the expansion of the rugged handheld electronic devices market in the coming years. Industrial automation involves using control systems like computers and robots to manage various processes and machinery, minimizing human intervention. This shift is largely due to the benefits of enhanced efficiency, cost reduction, improved quality, and increased safety, all fueled by technological advancements and the need to stay competitive. Electronic devices play a critical role in industrial automation, offering precise control, monitoring, and communication of machinery and processes, which enhances efficiency, accuracy, and data collection. For example, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit, reported that industrial robot installations in the U.S. grew by 12%, reaching 44,303 units in 2023, compared to 40,000 units in 2022. As a result, the rise in industrial automation is driving the growth of the rugged handheld electronic devices market.
Key players in the rugged handheld electronic devices market are investing in advanced solutions like ultra-rugged compact electronic devices to improve durability, functionality, and performance in challenging environments. These ultra-rugged devices are designed to withstand extreme conditions such as harsh temperatures, moisture, dust, and physical impacts. For instance, in November 2022, Handheld Group, a Swedish manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, launched the Algiz 10XR, a compact 10-inch Windows tablet built for demanding field applications. This device features the latest Intel Elkhart Lake processor, which offers twice the graphics and performance of previous models. With integrated 5G connectivity, the Algiz 10XR supports fast data transfer speeds and high-bandwidth tasks such as live video streaming and mapping. It is designed to meet stringent IP65 and MIL-STD-810G standards for water, dust, and impact resistance. Its sunlight-readable touchscreen, glove and rain modes, and hot-swappable battery make it suitable for mobile professionals in industries like shipping, warehousing, mapping, and data collection.
