Rising Demand from the Defense Industry to Foster Market Growth
Rugged electronics refers to a particular genre of electronics that are designed to work under rugged and extreme conditions. Rugged electronics are made to tolerate extreme temperatures, drops in temperature, vibrations, and dust. Communication devices provide the much-needed support to the capabilities of modern warfare. These communication devices are invariably observed by computer systems that are deployed by central control unit. As such, there has been an increased usage of and demand for rugged electronic devices in the defense sector across the globe.
Modern warfare capabilities considerably bank on communication devices that are monitored by computer systems deployed at a central control unit and use of modern electronics in various combat systems. The steady demand for rugged electronics from the defense sector has been a boon to the rugged electronics market. This is to provide reliable equipment that can function optimally even at battleground. Several nations worldwide are expanding their defense budgets to enhance warfare capabilities with smart combat systems rather than bulky and voluminous war weaponry.
Besides, low downtime and high durability are two of their characteristics thatare expected to augment the growth prospects of global rugged electronics market.
The industrial computing and handheld devices sector is being forecasted to be a major contributor of revenue in the global rugged electronics market as they have been witnessing a growing adoption in a large variety of industries, such as adventure sports, transportation, defense, and power.
On the flip side, experts forecast the market to be restricted by low order quantity. Furthermore, the cost of rugged electronics is quite high when comparedwith the benefits of customization as per the client. This cost element is anticipated to be a major restraining factor for the growth of the global rugged electronics market.
