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.
