The docking station market is driven by various factors including proliferation of handheld devices along with the rising trend of BYOD and CYOD policies and high advantages of docking stations for mobile device users. Bring your own device (BYOD) is the concept of allowing the employees to use their own personal devices for office-related work. This may include laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Choose your own device (CYOD) is another rising trend in workplaces, in which the organization allows its employees to select a device from a specified range of devices. This enables the organization to establish more control over the devices selected by employees to handle company information. Most devices selected in the BYOD and CYOD policies are tablets and personal laptops. However, these devices offer limited connectivity to external peripherals compared to desktop computers. Docking stations enable users to connect their portable devices with simple connection to numerous external devices such as keyboards, mouse, printers, and with other network devices. This is the most significant factor boosting the growth of docking station market in organizations. However, availability of cheaper alternatives to docking stations and lack of standardization in the docking stations are some of the factors restraining the market growth.

Among different product types, laptop docking station segment was the largest and accounted for around 55% of the market share in 2013. However, mobile device docking station segment is expected to witness strong growth during the forecast period. The docking station market is segmented on the basis of technology into wired and wireless docking stations. At present, wired docking stations account for the largest share in terms of revenue in the global docking station market. Wired docking stations include traditional docks with proprietary snap-in connectors and single cable docks. Single cable docks consist of Thunderbolt docks and USB Type-C docks that deliver power as well as data transmission. Wireless docks include docks based on WiGig and Wi-Fi. WiGig docks provide wireless transmission of data. Some WiGig-based wireless docks provide wireless charging while others require a separate power cable for charging.
