The report forecasts the global rugged device market to grow at a CAGR of 4.91% during the period 2016-2020.
Global Rugged Device Market 2016-2020, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. 
The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is growing preference for big-screen rugged tablets and handheld devices. With high integration of rugged technology and electronic computing devices in the field of manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics, the demand for rugged devices with larger screens and displays is increasing as they offer better and more efficient user interface. 
According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is surging demand for semi-rugged devices. The surging demand for thinner and lighter rugged devices has increased the preference for semi-rugged devices among the end-users. Along with the cost of consumer-grade devices, the cost of integrating semi-ruggedness with commercial electronic devices is also low, compared to fully and ultra-rugged counterparts. 
Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is increasing level of ruggedness in commercial devices. The use of rugged electronic devices in harsh environments was mainly intended to reduce the cost of ownership with respect to repairs or replacement.
