Surface Computing Market by Type (Flat and Curved Display), Vision (Two and Three Dimensional), Application (Automotive, Education, Entertainment, Financial Services, Government, Healthcare, Hospitality, and Retail), and by Region - Global Forecast to 2020
Surface computing systems, also known as tabletop computers, are expected to be the future of desktop. Many companies apart from Microsoft, such as HP, Sony, and Lenovo are developing computing systems of bigger screen size which have been termed as tabletop computers. Microsoft is also developing the Microsoft Surface Hub. Some of the important features of surface computing include multi-touch and multi-user technology, which helps in recognizing physical objects through touch. It uses natural user interface (NUI) to interact with users, thereby enhancing the user’s experience of digital content through natural gestures, touch, and physical objects. The surface computing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~36% between 2015 and 2020 and is expected to be worth USD 26.2 Billion by 2020.
The surface computing market has been segmented based on type of display into display which includes flat and curved displays. Flat display based surface computing systems accounted for a market share of ~92% in 2014. These displays come in two forms which include two dimensional and three dimensional systems. The market for three dimensional based surface computing systems is expected to grow at a high CAGR of ~43% between 2015 and 2020 though it held a very low market share in 2014. Surface computing systems are mainly implemented in applications such as automotive, education, entertainment, financial services, government, healthcare, hospitality, and retail. Hospitality and retail segments hold a major share in the surface computing market. The hospitality segment of the surface computing market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of ~39% between 2015 and 2020.
The report also details the market dynamics such as drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. Implementation of natural user interface, increase in the revenue of companies due to the adoption of multi user surface computers, and increased involvement of major players in the development of surface computers are some of the major factors which are driving the surface computer market. The high cost of surface computers and limited availability of related digital content are some of the restraints for the growth of the surface computing market. The studied market is expected to have a huge growth potential in applications such as hospitality, entertainment, and retail. Slow adoption of table shaped surface computes by end-users could act as a challenge for the growth of the surface computing market.
