Desktop Terminal Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type (Traditional Desktop Terminals, Thin Clients, Zero Clients and All-in-One Desktops), Component (Hardware, Software and Peripheral), Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Desktop Terminal Market is growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. A desktop terminal is a text-based interface used to interact with a computer's operating system or execute commands. They are powerful tools for users who are comfortable with the command line and are widely used in software development, system administration, and other technical fields. It can be used to type commands, manipulate files, execute programs, open documents, view the results of executing commands and control applications running on the computer. It is also known as a terminal server, remote desktop server, or terminal services server.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising adoption of cloud computing

Cloud computing enables the delivery of software applications as a service over the internet. It facilitates remote desktop services, follows a pay-as-you-go model, provides virtualization technologies and eliminates the need for users to manage software updates locally. Users can access more apps that are moving to the cloud via web browsers or thin desktop terminal apps. This change lessens the demand for locally installed, resource-intensive apps and supports the expansion of desktop terminal solutions.

Restraint:

Security concerns

In the desktop terminal sector, security is primarily concerned with safeguarding user access, data, and systems. Unauthorised access might result from inadequate authentication procedures and loose access restrictions. Sensitive data can be intercepted during unencrypted data transmission. Furthermore, encryption malware, VPN use, USB security, default settings, insider threats, and ransomware may all encourage vulnerabilities that impede market growth.

Opportunity:

Evolving customization & specialized solutions

The desktop terminal market has been influenced and propelled by specialized solutions through industry-specific requirements, software integration, user preferences, security requirements, energy efficiency and scalability. As environmental concerns become more significant, customization in desktop terminals mainly focuses on low-power components, advanced power management, and environmentally friendly materials, aligning with the sustainability goals of organizations. Overall, evolving customization and the development of specialized solutions not only enhances the functionality of desktop terminals but also contributes to their continued relevance in a dynamic technological landscape.

Threat:

Growing remote work trends

As remote work became the norm, employees and employers invested in desktop computers, monitors, keyboards, and other peripherals to facilitate remote work. The shift to remote work led to an increased need for personal devices to establish efficient home office setups. It also accelerated the adoption of cloud-based solutions. This shift has impacted the demand for on-premises desktop solutions. The increased varieties of preferences lead to a fragmented market. This results in a slower replacement cycle and impacts the growth prospects of the desktop terminal market.

COVID-19 Impact

The desktop terminal market has positively impacted by the covid pandemic. With the widespread adoption of remote work during the pandemic, there was an increased demand for desktop terminals or computers to support employees working from home. The epidemic accelerated the adoption of cloud services, and this shift has influenced the demand for desktop terminals. On the other hand, businesses and individuals facing financial challenges have postponed or scaled back investments in new desktop terminals.

The all-in-one desktops segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The all-in-one desktops segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. All-in-one desktops are computers that integrate the CPU, memory, and other components into the monitor, resulting in a compact and streamlined design. They are often used in business environments for office productivity tasks. Since all components are integrated into the monitor, there is less need for external hardware. Further, it offers numerous advantages including sleek design, easy setup, reduced cable clutter, touch screen options, energy efficiency and high productivity.

The enterprises segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The enterprises segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Enterprises use desktop terminals for a combination of factors that align with business needs and objectives. Desktop terminals play a crucial role in enterprises, providing centralized computing, cost efficiency, security, energy efficiency, scalability and longevity. This allows for efficient management of computing resources and data. It aligns with environmental sustainability goals and reduces operational costs.
