Leading the growing portable monitor market

According to IHS Markit, as users have become increasingly aware of the benefits of portable monitors, global shipments grew by 46% in 2019. In 2020, shipments are forecasted to grow by an additional 27%. As the market experiences significant growth, ASUS has shown the ability to remain at the forefront. According to top online retailers from the U.S., Europe, Middle East and Africa, ASUS has been number one in portable monitor sales for three consecutive years.
ASUS leadership in portable monitors began in 2013 with the launch of the company’s first portable USB monitor, MB168B. In 2016, ASUS released MB169C+, the world's first portable monitor with USB Type-C™ (USB-C™) connectivity, which enables both power and video signal transmission via a single USB-C cable. In 2017, ASUS launched the ZenScreen series with ZenScreen MB16AC, which was the world’s slimmest and lightest 15.6-inch FHD portable monitor. It was also the first portable monitor with a hybrid-signal solution, which supports both USB-C and USB Type-A connectors for full compatibility with almost any laptop. In 2018, ASUS released ZenScreen Go MB16AP, the world's thinnest portable monitor with a built-in battery. In 2019, ASUS released ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT, the world's first portable monitor with both multitouch functionality and a built-in battery.
