Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Growing demand for devices with longer battery life and high computational battery.

The battery backup offered by electronic devices such as mobile, laptops, and tables is still one of the major concerns for consumers. However, the hybrid device manufacturers are producing hybrid devices with a focus to offer the hybrid device with good battery life. And thus, hybrid device manufacturers fulfil this demand for enhanced battery life, given that the hybrid devices last longer when compared to the operation of traditional laptops. In addition, hybrid devices are installed with two good quality batteries, a primary battery, which is located on the screen, and a secondary battery, which is located on the keyboard. For instance, Toshiba Portege Z20t offers up to 17 hours of battery life with the attached keyboard and around 9 hours of battery life in tablet mode when the keyboard is removed. Thus, such increasing demand and the introduction of hybrid devices with enhanced features and longer battery life are anticipated to propel the growth of the global hybrid devices market.

Furthermore, there is an increase in the market size of hybrid devices owing to increase acceptance of enterprise mobility, increased adoption of touchscreen technology, and continuous innovation in efficiency, productivity, and accuracy will propel the market demand for hybrid devices. Fast navigation using a stylus or a touchscreen, as well as easy capture and storage of individual data, are some of the main advantages of these devices. The increased awareness of these benefits has expanded their use in business-related tasks, resulting in a rapid increase in market demand for hybrid devices. Nevertheless, high adoption of hybrid computers with additional features like simple touch input for surfing, speed, built-in security, faster wake times, and remote access manageability is also projected to boost the market growth.

Challenges

High costs are associated with Hybrid Devices

Hybrid devices offer various advantages over traditional laptops due to its dual functionality.
