The Global Rugged IC Market size is expected to reach $1.1 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 5.6% CAGR during the forecast period.
A set of electrical circuits built on a semiconductor material is known as an integrated circuit (IC), sometimes known as a microchip. All modern electronic products, such as televisions, cellphones, computers, cameras, washing machines, and microwaves, use integrated circuits (ICs). Microprocessors, oscillators, filters, and regulators are all examples of integrated circuits. Rugged integrated circuits are microchips that are engineered and developed to perform activities in harsh environments.
Mixed ICs are a combination of analogue and digital ICs, resulting in superior integrated technology. Furthermore, depending on the manufacturing method or methodology, integrated circuits are available in a wide variety of products. Thin and thick film ICs, monolithic ICs, and hybrid or multichip ICs are some of the examples of these ICs. The robust integrated circuit is widely utilised in industries such as aerospace and defence, automotive, power, mining and metals, healthcare, and others.
Because of its diverse application base, the integrated circuit market is quite important and is undoubtedly predicted to grow. Integrated circuits are favoured because of their tiny size, low manufacturing costs, increased dependability, and reduced energy consumption. Rugged integrated circuits have the advantage of being able to endure high levels of PNP while remaining strong enough to withstand in any situation. As a result, rugged integrated circuits are created utilising design methodologies and models that facilitate robust design.
The growing demand for rugged and reliable electrical equipment in the military and aerospace industries is likely to boost the rugged IC market. There are many manufacturers who are using rugged ICs in their products in order to make them more reliable and efficient.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 has negatively impacted the rugged IC market. This pandemic has caused one of the world's most serious economic risks, bringing widespread anxiety and economic suffering for consumers, businesses, and communities around the world. The "new normal," which includes social isolation and working from home, has created difficulties with daily activities, routine work, needs, and supplies, resulting in missed chances and delayed projects.
Along with that, the pandemic has also influenced the manufacturing and industrial sectors. The implementation of partial or complete lockdown in several nations throughout the world along with the unavailability of workforce have hindered the operations of various manufacturing operation, which have hampered the demand of the rugged IC in the market during the initial phase of the pandemic. The requirement for maintenance from diverse industries was reduced as industries were temporarily shut down.
A ruggedized computer is one that has been carefully engineered to survive harsh conditions such as intense vibrations, extreme temperatures, and wet or dusty environments while still operating successfully. Their fan-less, cable-less, and one-piece architecture, as well as integrated tough ICs, support the strong structure of these computers. Due to this, ruggedized computers are beneficial to a variety of industries, including data centres, logistics & transportation, mining, oil & gas, manufacturing, defence, aerospace, and others.
Rugged devices' main purpose is to provide durability while lowering the amount of redundancy that field workers face when collecting or entering workflow data into computers. In industrial settings, several firms utilise non-rugged or consumer-grade portable devices. Non-rugged computing equipment, on the other hand, have a higher TCO due to deployment costs, replacement prices, ongoing support expenses, device uptime, and service availability.
There is a significant chance of technical failure of various rugged devices. Since these devices are technically advanced and are a part of machinery, the risk of technical glitches would always be there while operating these devices as well as components. Although these devices enable better inventory management and also help in other manufacturing operations, the operational efficiency of rugged IC may get affected due to external factors.
Based on level, the rugged IC market is segmented into Semi-Rugged, Fully-Rugged and others. Semi-rugged segment garnered a promising revenue share in the rugged IC market in 2020. At the consumer level, a semi-rugged device is frequently seen supporting law enforcement and business-related applications and projects. Consider a semi-tough device to be a commercially available computer with a few rugged capabilities. Semi-rugged gadgets usually have a few parts that have been stress tested or certified to military and industrial standards.
By end use, the rugged IC market is divided into Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Healthcare, Industrial, Manufacturing and Others. The consumer electronics segment procured the highest revenue share in the rugged IC market in 2020. This growth is attributed to the growing adoption of various consumer electronics, especially mobile phones and the rising investment of the consumer electronics manufacturers to develop strong products with high performance.
On the basis of application, the rugged IC market is fragmented into Mobile Phones, Tablets, Scanners and Others. The mobile phones rugged IC segment acquired maximum revenue share in the rugged IC market in 2020. It is due to improved technological improvements in the consumer-grade device sector. The non-rugged mobile computer market is well-established, and fierce rivalry has resulted in a variety of advancements, including technology bundling. But there are many manufacturers who are using rugged IC in the production of mobile phones, which would surge the growth of the segment.
