Drivers:

Rugged Communication Equipment for intelligent transportation systems

The rapid pace in industrializations, migration of people from rural to urban and more vehicle on road have rising the need for intelligent transport system. Increasing pedestrians, cyclists, cars, trucks, light rail, transit vehicles in urban transportation networks are challenging factors for present city planners. More vehicle mean longer commutes, greater congestions and increasing the need for timely traffic data. A constant stream of up-to-the-minute data, overcome the congestion of transportations problems and helps operators of transportation system to be one step ahead.

Increasing Military expenditure in Rugged Communication Equipment

Several government have increased expenditure for rugged communication equipment in military because of rising geographical tension between countries. Countries like US, China, India, Russia and Saudi Arabia are the largest spender in military applications in 2023. The total global military expenditure rose to $1,917 billion in 2022, which is the largest annual growth in spending since 2010 besides, it is increased by 3.6% from 2022.

For instance, in 2022, the US military expenditure is accounted for 38% of the global military spending and grow by 5.3% to a total of $732 billion. China and India has spent $261 billion and $71.1 billion in 2022. Increasing demand for rugged wearable computer designs for war fighter applications, military-grade compact and ultra-compact Ethernet switches, Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV's), or drones developed for military, exploration, search and rescue is driving the market growth of the rugged communication equipment market. The connectivity, long battery life, portability, and ease-of-use that are meet the needs of today’s soldier has created many lucrative opportunities for rugged communication equipment market.

Restraints:

High initial cost of procurement compared with non-rugged devices

The rugged wireless communications devices such as Bluetooth wireless headphone, mobile computers, radios, walkie-talkies and Bar code scanners has high initial cost of procurement compared to non-rugged devices. The consumer-grade devices have a very large total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to rugged devices. Many organizations used handheld, consumer grade or non-rugged devices in industrial environment. Consumer’s grade products are more attractive for enterprises this may slow down the rugged devices market growth.

Opportunities:

Increasing number of data centers

In geographically distant location, increasing the construction of data centers and development in data management technology are created many lucrative opportunities for rugged communication equipment. Data centers are gaining more importance due to supportive band-width-intensive applications and trend a outsourcing data access through the cloud computing and Infrastructure-as-a-Services (IaaS) that have increase the speed and efficiency in Data centers. The rugged communications equipment’s that are better to suit the local environment such as for networking, computers and servers have increasing the demand for rugged communication equipment.

Covid-19 Impact on the global Rugged Communication Equipment market:
