Growing Popularity of Computer Rental & Leasing Services

Computers are an essential tool for business. Renting out computer devices can help in saving money, cut down repair & maintenance costs, and enhance employee productivity. Computer rental service providers ensure the security of data for organizations and maintain operational continuity without any functionality disturbance, which is the main factor driving the growth of these services.

The global spread of COVID-19 resulted in the rise of computer rental companies, with the market growing 25%-30%. As the remote and hybrid working culture grew across organizations worldwide, it stimulated the demand for rental computers.

• Short Term (2022-2025): Post-COVID, the demand for computer rental services has grown drastically. With the surging trend of remote and hybrid working, rental computer services have seen positive demand from the corporate and entertainment sectors.
• Medium Term (2025-2028): The leisure & entertainment industry is expected to drive potential demand during this period. Asia Pacific and North America will be highly fragmented markets with the increasing popularity of the gaming & streaming sectors, which will boost the demand for computer rental services.
• Long Term (2028-2032): Remote and hybrid working models have resulted in an increase in the work efficiency of employees and are a cost-effective method for many organizations. Therefore, they may follow this culture, which will stimulate the demand for rental computer services. Favorable government moves to enhance the employment rate will be another factor creating lucrative growth opportunities for market players over the long term.

Why is There a Steady Increase in Computer Rental & Leasing Services?

“Worldwide Increase in Working Population”

The increasing working population worldwide is expected to drive market growth.

• According to a study by the World Bank Group, the global working population has grown significantly during 2011-2021, at around 8%. Despite the adverse effects of COVID-19 on large as well as small & medium organizations, the worldwide working population stood at 3.45 billion in 2021.

With the increasing working population, demand for commercial equipment has seen drastic growth. Equipment such as computers and laptops are core to every organization, and these have crucial utility in almost every section of an organization. Therefore, the growing working population is expected to be the major factor that will drive the demand for computer rental & leasing services.

“Companies Moving to Hybrid & Remote Work Models”

COVID-19 is expected to have an outrageous impact on the demand for computer rental & leasing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies moved to remote working and hybrid working models, as organizations such as Dropbox, TripAdvisor, Facebook, etc., have implemented remote work models, which resulted in the renting out of computers and laptops by employees and companies.

Notable trends before COVID-19 such as rising streaming services, gaming, and user-generated content have seen drastic growth due to the pandemic. For instance, online data consumption increased by 30% during the pandemic. From 2020 till now, around US$ 29.40 billion worth of video games has been sold in the United States, with a noticeable increase of 23%.

What Could Hamper the Demand for Rental & Leasing Computers?

“High-cost burden of Leasing Computers”

Leasing equipment may cause an excessive cost burden to the user. Depending on the lease terms, users are required to make payments for the entire leasing period, even if they do not use the equipment. This factor can limit market growth over the coming period. Moreover, in the long run, leasing can be more expensive than buying equipment. For example, buying a computer could cost around US$ 4,000; however, renting or leasing a computer for US$ 160 per month for three may cost US$ 5,760.

Moreover, stringent leasing policies could be a challenging factor for market growth. Rental & leasing terms can be complicated to negotiate; users are required to use the equipment according to the leasing company’s specifications, go through complex paperwork, and need to disclose certain financial & non-financial information to the lender, which may result in additional costs to the user.
