The Worldwide Workstation Market, 2009 and Beyond

Abstract

Workstation demand mainly arises from CAD/CAE/CAM applications in the mechanical, electrical engineering, and civil engineering industries. Other industrial applications span construction, digital content production, and financial trading. As the workstation market has maintained steady but limited growth, the differentiation between workstations and PCs is expected to be more distinct, and workstation manufacturers are expected to target the niche segment of professional use. Moreover, the enhancement of cost performance ratio is projected to be pivotal in furthering the growth of the workstation market. This report examines the outlook for the worldwide workstation market, including a market size forecast, vendor status, and product application trends.
