Segmental Analysis

Wired keyboards cater to the larger market share in the Europe computing keyboard market owing to their inexpensive nature and the high demand from enterprises that purchase wired keyboards in bulk. Wired keyboards are preferred over wireless keyboards by enterprises due to the availability of various types of keyboards that suit specific organizational needs.

Wired keyboards mainly comprise membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards, ergonomic keyboards, left-handed keyboards, and vertical keyboards, among others. Besides, the massive price difference between wired and wireless keyboards has inclined businesses to opt for the former. For instance, the Wireless Microsoft Bluetooth Desktop (Combo) is valued at USD 59.99, whereas the wired desktop from Microsoft is valued at USD 29.95.

Most companies prefer purchasing complete systems of wired keyboards for regular use, which further drives the adoption of wired keyboards among enterprises. The increasing number of SMEs is also positively influencing the demand for wired keyboards as these enterprises are cost-sensitive.

However, Wireless keyboards provide more ease in operation and also elevates the level of security. The lack of wires allows wireless keyboards to be made from differential materials, such as hard plastic, rubber, and wood. Some of the keyboards made from rubber come with variants that are dustproof, water-resistant, and foldable. Further, the use of efficient, secure connectivity, such as Bluetooth, eliminates some of the security concerns.

According to the segmentation by application, the individual professional use of keyboards has grown significantly during the pandemic due to the rise of the work from a home model, which requires comfortable and easy to use devices. As per our paid databases, personal computer sales in Q2, 2020, in the EMEA region grew almost 22%, with the Western European region recording YoY growth of 30.6%.

The availability of different types of keyboards gives individual users choices, from membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards, and keyboards with backlighting to laser projector keyboards and ergonomic keyboards. Overall, the professional individual use segment still holds a moderate share as sales in the segment are yet not comparable to enterprise-level sales.

Wired Keyboards Are Expected to Cater Majority of the Enterprise and Institutional Use Due to the Cost-Effectiveness and Maintenance-Free Use

The enterprise and the institutional use segment cover large, medium, and small companies and institutions from various verticals, such as BFSI, automotive, and IT industries and universities, schools, and hospitals, among others. Wired keyboards are preferred for enterprise and institutional use for their hassle-free maintenance and convenience.

Membrane keyboards or mechanical keyboards, which are extensively used on an enterprise level, offer advantages, such as continuous power supply, quick responsiveness, longer lifespan, quick typing, and easy repair. Very little utilization of other types of keyboards has been observed on enterprise and institutional levels, mainly due to cost constraints.

On the supply side, companies such as Lenovo, Dell, and HP offer wired keyboards to enterprises at comparatively lower costs than wireless keyboards. Besides, enterprises prefer wired keyboards because of their easy installation and compatibility with all machines due to their USB switches. In sectors that demand specific features, different keyboards do record higher adoption. For instance, in many hospitals, washable silicone keyboards are the preferred choice.

In the BFSI sector, differential keyboards have no specific use, but a tenkeyless keyboard isn't ideal as a separate numeric keypad enables faster calculation. The enterprise and the institutional use segment are expected to flourish with different products gaining traction in specific industries.
