Peripheral and accessory manufacturers producing monitors, printers, input devices, and connectivity products.

Verticals

Overview

Peripherals & Accessories covers the manufacture of computer peripherals and accessories — monitors, keyboards, mice, terminals, and related devices. U.S. domestic manufacturing has declined sharply (revenue fell over 2017–22) as peripheral production has almost entirely moved offshore, leaving a small, shrinking domestic base.

Demand for peripherals overall is mature and tied to computing device sales and the hybrid-work-driven upgrade of home-office equipment, but U.S. manufacturing specifically continues to contract toward specialty and professional products. It is a consolidating, declining domestic segment; the peripheral brands and retail are profiled under consumer/retail, with most production offshore.
