This market research report identifies ASUS, Intel, Lenovo, MagicStick, iBall, and ARCHOS as some of the key players in the stick PC market. The report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by geographical regions such as the Americas, APAC, and EMEA.
Global outlook of the stick PC market
Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted that the global stick PC market will grow steadily during the predicted period and post a CAGR of almost 7% by 2020. Though the features and functionalities of stick PCs are limited as compared to laptops, the stick PCs are priced at a comparatively lower cost compared to laptops or personal computers. Stick PCs allow the user to carry a computer, which can be used to access data on devices such as TVs having HDMI ports and laptops. They can also be used with projectors and interactive flat panels. The stick PC market is still in its initial stages, and the level of competition among the vendors is low. As a result, the price wars are negligible, and the reducing average selling price will not have any influence on driving the product volumes. The low cost of stick PCs will drive the volumes, which, in turn, will help manufacturers scale the production and reduce costs.
The increased adoption of stick PCs will lead to the progressive development of digital content. The implementation of online and blended learning methods has led to the increased adoption of advanced technologies to aid content development. The usage of learning management systems (LMSs) and learning content management systems (LCMSs) has enabled the faster development of content. Moreover, learning management system vendors are constantly increasing their R&D investments to upgrade their education systems. This has resulted in the advent of cloud-based learning management systems, which can be accessed through stick PCs from remote locations.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The market is characterized by the presence of only a few vendors but is expected to witness the entry of several new vendors in the next four years. These new vendors will also include a number of technologically advanced startups and will pose as strong competitors to the existing prominent players. Since the market is still in its initial stages of development, the competition among vendors is very less. Vendor competition is normally based on the availability of the products, features, and the processing speed. The forthcoming years will also witness the entry of the major PC manufacturers into the market.
