Ergonomic keyboards feature interesting aspects such as backlit keys and hot keys. The backlit feature facilitates easier typing in low-lighting environment settings, while the hot keys option is used to pre-program or create shortcuts. Many manufacturers are focused on incorporating these features in keyboards, which in turn, is expected to drive the sales of ergonomic keyboards shortly. For instance, in May 2023, Adesso Inc. introduced the WKB-1500GB Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard. The keyboard offers four qualities: ergonomic design, 2.4GHz RF radio frequency wireless technology. Internet and multimedia keys, quiet membrane key switches
Demand for wireless keyboards has increased significantly in the recent past, especially among tech consultants. These keyboards provide support to users' wrists and hands, as well as provide relatively better comfort as compared to conventional keyboards. For instance, in November 2021, you can update the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard Driver easily via the device manager.
Different jobs or tasks involve repetitive motion or uncomfortable posture, or positioning of fingers and arms. Such positions and tasks lead to a certain amount of strain on muscles and can cause severe damage in the long term. According to research conducted by Kinesis Corporation, typing 60 wpm equates to 18,000 repetitive keystrokes per hour. Moreover, results of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) research suggest that manual labor, constant use of modern services, and office work are the major originators of repetitive strain in the modern world. According to the same source, in Canada alone, around 2.3 million adults are crippled by RSIs or musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Hence, these factors are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. As more individuals started working remotely, the importance of comfortable and ergonomic workstations became evident. Many people found themselves spending long hours typing on their keyboards, which increased the demand for keyboards that prioritize comfort and reduce the risk of strain or injuries associated with extended computer use. Razer, a leading brand in gaming peripherals, launched a notable promotional campaign in 2020 called "Razer for Life." This campaign aimed to engage and reward loyal customers by offering exclusive discounts, freebies, and access to limited-edition products. Razer leveraged its strong online presence and social media channels to promote the campaign, engaging with the gaming community and fostering brand loyalty.
Growing demand for ergonomics in the corporate sector has led various companies manufacturing keyboards to focus on ergonomic keyboards that are expected to support the market growth over the forecast period. Local vendors are providing high-quality, low-price ergonomic products, which has compelled international players to provide similar products, in order to expand their consumer base and gain a competitive edge in the market. Hence, such availability of low-price and high-quality products is expected to accelerate market growth in the near future. Some new entrants in this industry include Matias Corporation, Oyster Ergonomics, and Logitech International SA.
The sales of ergonomic products increased in comparison with conventional computer keyboards. Ergonomic keyboards are criticized by certain organizations for advertising them as a product that can avoid typing pain and injuries. Strengthening the significance of the ergonomics principle among consumers is expected to pose excellent business opportunities for market players shortly. For instance, Microsoft is a prominent player in the computer industry for decades and offered various ergonomic keyboards in its product lineup. One of their notable ergonomic keyboards is the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard, which features a split-key design and a cushioned palm rest.
Various organizations in emerging economies are advertising and promoting the use of ergonomic keyboards at their workplaces. This is owing to decreasing absenteeism and the number of complaints from employees related to injuries or strain to hands, wrists, and fingers. According to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Japan, and the Middle East & Africa are expected to account for 17.6% of the total ergonomics keyboards market volume (in terms of units) by 2025. Hence, such factors are expected to provide major market opportunities in the near future.
