Increasing preference for wireless peripherals
“Wireless IT peripherals, such as keyboards, mouse devices, and headsets are gaining importance, as they offer a hassle free and comfortable experience to end-users,” says Angad Singh, a procurement intelligence specialist at Technavio.
For instance, customers are increasingly preferring to use wireless keyboards and mice due to the convenience they provide. According to the market intelligence researchers, the market for wireless mice is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3% through 2020.
Growing adoption of ergonomically designed touch keyboards
Consumers are constantly on the lookout for products that are portable and are convenient to use. As a result, they prefer ergonomic keyboards with built-in touch capabilities, as they reduce muscular stress, eliminate the need for mice, and are portable. In 2014, ergonomic and wireless keyboards accounted for 18% of the market, and this is expected to increase by 10.3% Y-o-Y.
Preference for peripherals that are compatible across multiple systems
Users prefer peripherals that are compatible with multiple devices, as most of them own two to three computing devices on an average. For example, easy-switch keyboards developed by Logitech can display compatibility with a range of devices, including TVs and tablets.
Increasing preference for smaller devices
There is an increase in demand for smaller and portable devices because of better ergonomics and ease of use provided by them. Suppliers are increasingly focusing on producing these devices to capitalize on this growing trend.
For example, suppliers such as JBL and Logitech have come up with button-sized speakers enabled with Bluetooth technology. The market for these portable speakers is estimated to grow at a CAGR of close to 39% through 2019.
Shift from pointing devices to touchscreens
Touchscreens are expected to take over from point and track devices over the next decade. However, organizations might be slow adopters of touchscreen PCs owing to the high costs involved in migrating from traditional PCs to touchscreens. As per the report, more than 50% of the PCs purchased globally are estimated to be touchscreens.
