Industrial Personal Computer Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Panel, Box), By Storage Medium (Solid, Rotating), By Ram Capacity, By Distribution Channel, By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 To 2030

Industrial personal computers are developed to suit industrial conditions and can be used in industries such as manufacturing and transportation. These PCs are known for their durability and robustness to survive in extreme conditions. Therefore, high demand for this market is observed in the manufacturing sector.

The growth of the manufacturing sector and increasing awareness regarding the optimization of resources and digitization and adoption of IoT technologies in the industry are expected to drive the growth of this market. The 2019 Asia IoT Business Platform survey suggests that 76% of respondents planned to adopt digital technology to improve their business processes. Increasing adoption of IoT technologies can bring more convenience in the working environment and thus drive the demand for Industrial PCs.

In addition, increasing investments in research and development for the manufacturing sector will likely boost the market further. Further opportunities for the development of the Industrial PCs market can be developed due to the increasing adoption of smart solutions and the benefits of effective IT. However, the costs associated with the adoption of IPC and risks relating to cyber security can hinder the growth of the market.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on almost all industries. Since the production processes had shut down, it impacted the production and supply in the computer industry. However, COVID-19 also changed the work environment by discouraging direct contact. This also increased the usage of personal computers during the pandemic. According to an article published by CNBC in May 2020, PC sales grew by 53% in the first half of April 2020. This increase in the use of computers is expected to boost the market demand in the future further.

The key players in the market constantly focus on innovation and launching new products, mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and increasing their global presence to gain a competitive advantage against other players. In April 2023, AAEON, engaged in providing IoT and AI Edge solutions, announced the development of the fan-less mini-PC with Intel Core i3 processor N-series which can help it enter smart manufacturing and healthcare markets. In February 2023, another automation solutions provider company, Advantech, launched a series of multi-purpose all in one touchscreen computers, with improved security and CPU performance.
