The Industrial Tablet PC Market size is estimated at USD 1.05 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.44 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.38% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
As the supply chain is increasingly digitized, manufacturers incorporate automation and digitization to add value across their supply chains. In a survey of manufacturers done by the MAPI Foundation, it was found that pressures from the supply chain are driving the adoption of automation and smart technology in the manufacturing industry. This is so that the real benefits of automation and digitization can be seen and passed along the value chain.
The COVID-19 pandemic had also hampered the production of rugged displays, a significant component of industrial tablets. The lockdown imposed in several countries to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus caused disruptions in the global supply chain of the parts and components used in these devices. The halting of production and disorder in the supply chain have weakened industrial output growth and decreased activities across significant manufacturing hubs.
The industrial tablet PC market is fragmented due to the presence of international, regional, and local vendors. The highly competitive market is anticipated to grow further based on products, technological innovations, and the growing number of M&A activities. Furthermore, the new players venturing into the market would face challenges competing with the existing players based on quality, features, functionalities, and services.
