The rugged servers market is expected to grow from US$ 632.81 million in 2022 to US$ 976.69 million by 2030. The rugged servers market is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.6% from 2022 to 2030.
The demand for rugged servers is increasing in the manufacturing, telecommunication, defense, and construction industries. This has encouraged the players in the market to develop advanced rugged servers to cater to the demand with advanced technology. In February 2023, Getac Technology Corporation announced the expansion of its X600 range by adding the X600 Server and the X600 Pro-PCI. The X600 Server is a rugged, powerful, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for the most demanding environments. It consists of an Intel Xeon W-11855M processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology and integrated Intel UHD graphics, which help deliver improved performance compared to the X500 Server.
Similarly, in March 2023, Crystal Group, Inc. announced that it had integrated the NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core graphics processing unit (GPU) into its portfolio of rugged hardware. The integration will improve performance for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning operations. Also, due to its compact size, it can be used on servers of any size, providing extremely fast data processing. Thus, the production of extensive volumes of data is raising the need for high-speed, advanced rugged servers, further bolstering the growth of the rugged servers market in the coming decades.
North America is a prominent region in the rugged servers market due to the increasing adoption of these servers in mission-critical applications in the military, aerospace, and industrial sectors. The high-end developments, research & advancement activities, and the need for improved process flexibility and enhanced efficiency will further boost the regional market growth during the forecast period. Aerospace, transportation, chemicals, oil & gas, and telecommunications are among the major industries in North America. Also, the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is considerably high in the region. Manufacturing, oil & gas, transportation, healthcare, and numerous industry verticals are adopting digital transformation strategies and implementing IIoT in their business operations. Thus, rugged servers market players are focusing on new product launches of rugged servers for numerous industries. In February 2023, Getac expanded its X600 range of rugged mobile workstations by introducing powerful new X600 Server and X600 Pro-Pci models for industries such as defense, manufacturing, and oil & gas.
North America had primed its contribution to the global aerospace industry. North America would continue to generate a greater profit in the coming years due to the growing global airline industry. In addition, the region reported a 51.6% increase in air traffic in March 2023 compared to 2022. The capacity of carrying passengers increased by 34.0%, showing North America dominates the aerospace sector. The rising air traffic is increasing the need for aircraft in the region, boosting the rugged servers market growth in the region. Thus, various companies in North America are launching new rugged servers for the aviation sector. In April 2023, CP Technologies launched a new Rugged Storage Server. It is a purpose-built server used to access and store small to large amounts of data over a distributed network. The storage server is connected to the networked storage resources and can be configured as network-attached storage (NAS) or other storage networking technologies. Therefore, the above factors are boosting the rugged servers market growth in North America.
Core Systems Inc, Crystal Group Inc, Mercury Systems Inc, Systel Inc, Trenton Systems Inc, Dell Technologies Inc, CP Technologies LLC, ZMicro Inc, Sparton Corp, and NCS Technologies Inc are among the key rugged servers market players profiled in the report.
