LONDON, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A workstation is an
advanced computer designed for scientific and technical
applications. Workstations are professionally designed for high-end
user applications including digital content creation, finance
modelling, and software engineering among others. Workstations can
run multi-user operating systems and are featured with a redundant
array of independent disks, SSDs, and optimised GPUs. The global
workstation market is projected to register a CAGR of 9.8% in terms
of value and 4.3% in terms of volume during the forecast period
2016–2026.
The global workstation market can be segmented on the basis of –
Product Type (Tower Workstation, Mobile Workstation, Rack
Workstation, Blade Workstation, All-in-One Workstation); Operating
System (Windows, Linux, Unix); and Application (Digital Content
Creation, Economic/Finance, Engineering, Scientific, Software
Engineering, Other Commercial). The Windows Operating System is
expected to expand at a comparatively high CAGR in terms of value
over the forecast period – estimated to account for a relatively
high value share of 90.7% by the end of 2016. This segment is
expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.9% over the forecast period.
The Mobile Workstation segment is estimated to account for a
revenue share of 23.7% in the global workstation market by the end
of 2016 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.9% over the
forecast period. Mobile workstations come with high-end computing
features such as faster graphics processors, powerful CPUs, and
additional memory, which offer a combination of professional and
business features and advanced hardware that has been optimised for
stability, reliability, and performance. The product cycle of the
mobile workstation is very long and can be as long as three years
and above in some cases as compared to other workstation segments.
Mobile workstations are in high demand across the globe owing to
better performance and advanced features that find adoptability in
a wide array of applications such as digital content creation,
economic/finance, and software engineering.
Market drivers and trends
A growing demand for 3D animation software, digital content
creation, and networking and graphics is expected to fuel the
growth of the global workstation market over the forecast period.
However, longer replacement cycles and increasing competition from
alternative computing platforms that deliver quality, high
performance, and value can pose major challenges to the sustained
growth of this market over the next few years.
The global workstation market is likely to witness several big
trends in the next 10 years. A few notable trends include migration
of PC and Apple Mac users to workstations, an increase in the
global demand for virtual workstations, a rising preference for
mobile workstations in oil and gas exploration applications, a
growing demand for tower workstations in digital content creation
applications, and a high demand for mobile workstations in software
engineering applications.
Market projections
The North America region is
projected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period and is
anticipated to have a higher market share as compared to other
regions due to a growing demand for digital content creation. In
terms of value, North America is
estimated to account for a significantly high market share of 40.4%
by the end of 2016 and the market in the region is expected to
expand at a CAGR of 9.6% over the forecast period. The Mobile
Workstation segment is estimated to account for a high market share
of 35.5% in the North America
market by the end of 2016. The workstation market in APEJ is
estimated to account for 22.3% value share by the end of 2016 while
Western Europe and Eastern Europe are estimated to account for
27.8% and 2.6% value share respectively by the end of 2016.
