Description

The global Handheld Terminals market size is expected to reach $ 7143 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 7.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Handheld Terminals (HHTs), also known as Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) or Portable Data Terminals (PDTs), are compact, mobile computing devices designed for data collection, processing, and communication in industrial, logistics, retail, and field service applications.
Expansion of downstream application scenarios
At present, users in the express delivery, logistics and retail sectors remain the main force in the application of handheld devices. With the continuous advancement of new logistics, new retail, digital healthcare, intelligent manufacturing and smart city construction in the medical, industrial manufacturing and public utility sectors, the application space will gradually open up.
In the logistics industry, from a digital perspective, new logistics needs to be optimized and upgraded towards intelligence and automation based on big data throughout the entire industry chain, and utilize intelligent equipment to achieve all-round services such as intelligent warehousing, intelligent transportation, and intelligent logistics. At present, major domestic e-commerce giants and express delivery companies have begun to transform and upgrade their logistics systems by focusing on smart terminals and big data systems, thereby enhancing the efficiency of logistics distribution and the consumer experience.
Handheld terminals will further deepen their cooperation with domestic logistics and express delivery, e-commerce and retail enterprises, taking the improvement of logistics distribution efficiency and consumer experience as the starting point, and assist them in creating a "new logistics" model.
In the retail industry, in recent years, the functional attributes of the three-proof handheld terminal as the core business management platform and data entry point for merchants have been further strengthened. Besides aggregated payment, value-added service functions such as inventory management, member management, order management, card and coupon marketing, takeout group buying, and quick invoicing have been further popularized and applied. The market for three-proof handheld terminals is expected to continue to thrive under the wave of new retail, and its market space is likely to be further unleashed.
The medical industry: Digital healthcare is the embodiment of "industrial Internet" in the medical field and represents a major trend in the medical industry in the digital age. With the increasing maturity of Internet of Things (iot) technology, the medical iot is beginning to show signs of accelerated development. Leading hospitals in China are deploying more iot applications in their medical systems.
Develop towards industry-specific handheld terminals
With the further expansion and segmentation of industry applications, the product forms and functions of handheld terminals will be further segmented according to different industry demands and application scenarios, and an increasing number of industry-specific models will emerge.
The development trends of product appearance and performance
The appearance design trend of handheld terminals in the service industry will develop towards being lightweight, fashionable and portable. In addition, the performance of handheld terminals in terms of the comfort of holding, communication stability, industrial protection level, and drop resistance will be further enhanced.
Handheld grip comfort: A good handheld terminal should have a good user experience, and handheld grip comfort is an important indicator among them. The design of handheld terminals should conform to ergonomics, be light, thin and portable, and easy to operate by hand. Through humanized design in details and intuitive interactive interface design, the reliability, simplicity and comfort of handheld operation should be enhanced.
Communication stability: The communication stability of handheld terminals is reflected in two aspects. First, the communication module should be selected with good stability. Secondly, the antenna design and structural design of the handheld terminal should be closely coordinated to ensure that the antenna delivers the best performance. In addition, handheld terminals need to be repeatedly tested in specific environments and continuously improved and enhanced to ensure the stability of communication performance.
Industrial protection level: The design of handheld terminals should take into account the environmental factors of product usage and carry out necessary industrial three-proof design to ensure that the product's protection level complies with industry standards, such as the industrial protection level of handheld terminals IP65, IP67, etc., in order to enhance the environmental adaptability and usage reliability of the product and meet the requirements of the industry usage environment.
Drop resistance: The drop resistance of handheld terminals is particularly important. It not only ensures normal operation but also extends the service life of the handheld terminal as much as possible. In the design of handheld terminals, it is necessary to ensure the drop resistance of each component and the product's drop resistance. For instance, a silicone protective layer should be added around the handheld terminal, and a full magnesium alloy bracket should be used inside to protect the mainboard and LCD, etc. Only by paying attention to every detail can the product be durable and drop resistant, achieving all-round protection.
The trend of multi-functional integration and technology integration
Industrial handheld terminals are developing towards a trend of integration of multiple functions such as computing, communication, networking, storage, entertainment, e-commerce, and professional applications. PDA mobile phones, which combine industrial handheld terminals with mobile phone functions, are increasingly favored by high-end users and are gradually moving towards socialization and standardization.
In addition, the mobile information application solutions for handheld terminals require enterprises to fully understand the business processes of the application industry and be proficient in applying relevant software and hardware technologies. Through structured cabling systems and computer network technologies, Integrate various technologies such as operating system technology, database technology, intelligent tag technology, communication technology, computer technology, mobile positioning technology, etc. into an interrelated, unified and coordinated system to achieve full resource sharing. Combined with the software operating system developed for industry business processes, the management of enterprise mobile information can be realized.
Intensified competition
With the expansion of downstream applications of products and the increase in the scale of the product market, more and more enterprises have entered this industry. Producers within the industry have adopted strategies such as lowering sales prices, expanding sales channels, and establishing stable partnerships to enhance their competitive edge in the market and capture a larger market share.
