LAPTOP HINGE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into 130 Degree Hinge, 180 Degree Hinge & 360 Degree Hinge.

• 130 Degree Hinge: The 130-degree hinge segment is meant to provide normal flexibility for normal laptop use due to other customers’ requirements. It means that the screen can be opened to a standard position in terms of comfortable viewing and comfortable typing. This type is used much in the afore-discussed conventional clamshell-style notebooks, where a great degree of flexibility is not indispensably needed.

• 180 Degree Hinge: The hinge segment is 180 degrees, allowing the laptop to lie totally flat in a 180-degree fully opened position for improved usage. This design is usually found in laptops that will be used in meetings or in places where the laptop will have to be in full view. It is considered to deliver a more flexible usage experience as opposed to conventional hinges.

• 360 Degree Hinge: The 360° hinge segment is used in chat and twist and turn types of notebooks where the hinge of the screen can rotate 360°. It also provides the device with the versatility needed to work with the device effectively as a laptop, a tablet, or in tent form. It targets people who wish to have the most flexibility and configuration when it comes to their notebooks.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Double Hinge & Single Hinge.

• Double Hinge: Double hinges offer better sturdiness, and the range of motion for the laptop screen is a lot more flexible as compared to other designs. They are widely deployed in top-of-the-line and convertible notebooks, which require better construction for longer usage and in different positions. The laptop segment is needed for enhancing this application segment, which supports the growing need for flexible and dependable laptop design.

• Single Hinge: Single hinges are used in normal laptops where a normal and less costly technique is just enough in assisting the screen to move. The models are easy and provide simple functionality with the least number of operational components, which can be advantageous in that they have lower costs of production and can be easily replaced. This segment is focused on the notebooks where a high degree of hinge flexibility is not needed.

DRIVING FACTORS

Remote work and online classes drive market growth for durable hinges

Working from home as well as taking online classes has given a great push to laptop demand, which in turn influences the demand for laptop hinges. As more users require laptops for work and studying, it becomes important that the hinges used in laptops are long-lasting, highly optimized for usage, and are adjustable to accommodate flexibility. Such a trend obliges manufacturers to enhance hinge technologies to achieve a satisfactory level to meet the requirements of users.

Growing demand for 2-in-1 laptops drives market growth for hinges

The last major trend that has been driving it is the growing demand for notebooks, convertibles, and 2-in-1 laptops, which are hinge-based systems for performant functionality and flexibility in use. Further, it is tangible that advancements in hinge technology are key to providing for multiple positions as well as folding the device into laptop and tablet configurations. This is why such devices like laptops generate the need for laptop hinges, to act as a hinge to support the laptop and function as one.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High costs of exotic hinge designs limit market growth potential

A prominent limitation in the current laptop hinge market is that developing new and exotic designs comes at a cost of the expenses that go into acquiring exotic and rare materials and the need to implement them precisely due to the specialized nature of the component. These costs may lead to increased total costs of laptops and thus reduce the market chance, especially in sensitive price brackets. Moreover, complicated hinge mechanisms might be more delicate on the quality control aspect, which will translate to higher costs of manufacturing and resulting laptop hinge market growth.
