Thin-Client Hardware Sees Strongest Growth Since 2000
Monday, 19 June 2006 by Michel Roth
We're still in the right business: Thin-Client hardware has seen its strongest sales growth since 2000 according to analyst Gartner. Global shipments of thin-client hardware have risen 38 per cent in 2005 to over 2.2 million units.

North America is the biggest market followed by Europe. Manufacturers Wyse, Neoware and HP capture 70 per cent of the worldwide market share. Gartner predicts the thin-client computing market will continue to grow over the next several years because of falling thin-client terminal prices, replacement required for compliancy and improvements in thin-client software from Microsoft and Citrix.

Thin-client terminals account for around 25-30 percent of total thin-client devices with the majority in the form of traditional desktop PCs. Gartner also predicts market growth in regions less saturated with thin-client terminal sales such as Asia/Pacific.
