Global Fanless PC Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global fanless PC market

Research analysis on the global fanless PC market identifies that the rise in the demand for rugged PCs will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 5% by 2021. Currently, the growth of the global fanless PC market is driven by the rising adoption of rugged PCs in manufacturing, oil and gas, healthcare, and military sectors, where the work conditions are harsh. These sectors cannot compromise on their operations, productivity, and reliability by using consumer grade PCs that are not durable. This increases the preference towards shock proofing the devices as they are exposed to high levels of tampering and rough use. Rugged PCs are generally fanless since this arrangement offers better durability in terms of water resistance, shock proofing, dust proofing, and heat resistance. The global fanless PC market will witness steady growth during the forecast period due to the growth in demand for rugged PCs, especially in the industrial and commercial end-user segments.

In terms of geographical regions, the Americas will be the major revenue contributor to the fanless PC market throughout the forecast period. This is primarily due to factors such as the high defense and military expenditure, the increasing procurement of rugged PCs, and the high technological integration in manufacturing, logistics, and field services by the commercial and industrial segments in the region.
