Computer Hardware Market by Type (Computer Peripheral Equipment, Computer Storage Devices and Servers, and Computers), Distribution Channel, End User and Geography - Global Industry Analysis, Opportunities and Forecast up to 2026

The global computer hardware market size was valued at $854.38 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $1,555.34 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period.

• Rapid growth in investments in smart city projects in many countries globally is likely to bolster the growth of computer hardware market.

• Additionally, smart cities use computers and related hardware, thereby benefitting the companies operating in this market. For instance, APG Algemene Pensioen Groep N.V. announced investment of €250 million in “Smart City Infrastructure Fund”, for development of smart city projects across North America, Europe, Australia and other major urban areas in the world.

• However, safety and health issues, labor issues and regulatory frameworks related to the management of e-waste can be a threat to this market going forward.

The computer hardware consists of sales of computer hardware and related services by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that provide computer hardware including personal computers (PCs), laptops and tablets, computer storage devices, peripheral equipment, etc. The computer hardware includes servers and processors but does not include embedded systems used in automobiles and manufacturing plants. The computer hardware is segmented into computer peripheral equipment; computer storage devices and servers; and computers.

By Type, the Computers Segment Emerge as the Dominant Segment

The computers segment is growing its prominence during the forecast period. Computer hardware is the bits and pieces that make up computers. For example, the hard disk drive, its processors, video cards etc. Peripherals like the monitor, mouse and printer or storage devices which can be plugged into computer that are also considered hardware. Fortunately, at least with desktop computers and some laptop and tablet computers, the users can replace the non-working piece of hardware without having to replace or rebuild the computer from scratch. Without hardware, there would be no way of running the essential software that makes computers so useful.

By Geography, Asia Pacific Region is Projected to Strong Presence in the Global Market

Asia Pacific was the largest region accounting for largest share of the global market. The concept of smart cities is becoming more popular in developing nations too. For instance, more than 1,000 smart city pilot projects are either ready for or are under construction globally and around 500 of these projects are in China.
