Rise in Enterprise Mobility Benefits Market
Major drivers in the global ultra-mobile devices market are the small and medium business. With a rise in enterprise mobility, 2-in-1 or hybrid ultra-mobile devices are being preferred over traditional laptops. Apart from that, the growing tech savvy population who seek on-the-go connectivity for entertainment and business applications is also serving to up demand for the sleek devices. Further, increasing incorporation of basic ultra-mobile devices such as tablets and chrome books in academic applications, particularly in developed nations of Canada, the U.S., and Sweden, is also positively impacting the market.
"Ultra-mobile devices offer extended portability and accessibility to cloud-based content and advanced computation on the go. This has resulted in their being ultra-low weight, advanced computing devices which consumers find handy. This in turn has helped the rising market penetration," explains the lead analyst of the TMR report.
Steep Prices Crimp Demand
One factor posing a challenge to the global ultra-mobile devices market is their steep prices on account of the cutting-edge technology they incorporate. High price of ultra-mobile devices, particularly premium category devices, is impacting the market growth of these devices in developing economies of Asia Pacific, South America, and Africa. However, with the increasing availability of easy finance options, due to increasing foreign investments in these regions, the impact of high price is expected to be low.
Currently, the IT and telecommunication industries are at the forefront of driving demand.
