Worldwide Rugged Mobile Device Forecast, 2024-2028

This IDC study provides market sizing of the worldwide rugged mobile device market for 2024. In addition, the study provides a worldwide forecast by mobile operating system for 2024-2028."Worldwide shipments of rugged mobile devices have declined from previous years as the rugged mobile device market is disproportionately impacted by extended refresh cycles and lower shipment volumes when compared with other business use mobile device segments," says Bryan Bassett, research manager, enterprise mobility. "However, despite the year-over-year decrease in shipments, rugged mobile devices still perform tasks in places and in ways that most consumer-grade devices cannot and remain essential tools for businesses that rely on purpose-built devices to enable and execute highly specialized enterprise workflows."
