Rugged tablets refer to tablets which are intended to function under harsh environmental conditions.There are three levels of ruggedness semi-rugged, fully rugged and ultra-rugged. Rugged tablets can withstand drops, vibration, liquid damages, and extreme temperatures. The semi rugged tablets may have a body or chassis which is rain resistant.It may have a protective case. Fully rugged tablets are designed to be functional in extreme environmental conditions, which include extreme temperatures, pressure, and exposure to corrosive materials.

The same components are used for the manufacturing of a rugged tablet as used in conventional tablets, but rugged tablets are much better protected. Like for example, a rugged tablet may have a gel-mounted hard disk drive, thicker case, and spill-resistant keyboard. The rugged tablet can withstand vibration, shocks, and are also able to withstand the impact which is caused by a drop. Rugged tablets contain a solid hard drive; there is no moving component inside the tablet. Further, the tablet does not require any fan; this helps in improving the resistance to dust and water for the device. There is no particular standard which is followed in the manufacturing of rugged tablets at present.

Some of the key factors driving the rugged tablet market include value addition to the device. Rugged tablets have become a necessity in the field of defence, and the growing application of drones in both commercial sectors and defence and surveillance is expected to drive the market. Further, application of rugged tablets in adventure sports is expected to drive the market further. A key factor which is restraining the rugged tablet market is the high cost of these devices as compared to conventional tablets.

The rugged tablets market by type has been segmented into semi-rugged,fully rugged,and ultra-rugged. The rugged tablets market by resistant type has been segmented into dust resistant, temperature resistant, impact resistant, pressure resistant, liquid resistant, and others. Liquid resistant segment dominated the market in terms of revenue share. The liquid resistant segment is also expected to expand at the fastest rate over the next few years.

The rugged tablets market by end use industry has been segmented into power, metal and mining, transportation, chemicals, healthcare, adventure sports, defense, aerospace, and others. The defense segment led the market in terms of revenue share. The defense segment is also expected to expand at the fastest rate over the next few years. Rugged tablets have become a necessity in the defense sector. Satellites, unmanned vehicles, network-centric battlefields, and war fighters share and transmit a lot of data. There is huge demand for rugged electronics in the defense sector to ensure that devices are not damaged due to harsh environments. This has made rugged portable devices a necessity for war fighters. Though rugged tablets have become a necessity in recent years, the rugged tablets market in the defense sector is still untapped. Thus, demand for rugged tablets from the defense sector is expected to grow at a high rate over the forecast period.
