Workstation Market - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2018 – 2026



A workstation (WS) is a computer, which is used by a user or group of users for business or professional work. It is also defined as a PC or a mainframe terminal, which is connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). A workstation computer is relatively different in comparison to a personal computer, as it can run multi-user operating systems. Some workstations consist of certain special devices, which personal computers are devoid of, such as 10 gigabit Ethernet, ECC memory, and fiber channels.
Workstations are high performance computers that are used to carry out complex tasks. Unlike personal computers, these computers require higher CPU power, higher memory volumes, and multitasking ability. The very nature of these computers to perform complex tasks requires them to be compatible with all kinds of productive software. Moreover, as these computers are used for specific scientific and technical applications, they need to have minimum downtime. Workstations are used in various applications such as digital content creation, in computer aided design (CAD), graphics, and, 3D animation industry. Content creation includes updating and maintaining of blogging, videography, photography, and website. Other applications include maintenance of social media and distribution of digital media.
Increasing use of animation in the film and gaming industry is accelerating growth of the market
Computer animation is a process, which is used for generating moving images or animated images. For this process, computers normally use 2D animation software or 3D animation software. 3D computer animation involves combination of 3D models of objects with supported programming. Nowadays, 3D animations are more in demand when compared to 2D animation, as it is a highly advanced and controllable technique. 3D animation is majorly used in filmmaking. Moreover, it is also used in various applications such as interior designing, architecture, business, and gaming. In business, 3D animations are commonly used in presentations, marketing, and education. Therefore, increasing use of workstations in the 3D animation industry is driving growth of the workstation market. For instance, according to Coherent Market Insights, the total value of the global animation industry was US$ 258 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach US$ 350 billion by 2026.
Frequent requirement of upgrades is one of the key restraining factors of the global workstation market
The extended replacement cycles and frequent product upgrades are some of the key challenges faced by the global workstation market. The frequent upgrades of software required for certain tasks face compatibility issues with certain kinds of software and hardware (related to memory requirement or CPU power). This makes it difficult for small companies to invest in upgrading software and hardware, which in turn hinders growth of the market.
