What Does Future Hold for The Distributed Control Systems Market By 2029?
The distributed control systems market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the distributed control systems market is predicted to experience significant expansion. The market size is forecasted to reach $26.91 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%.
This boost during the projection period can be ascribed to the escalated demand for energy and prowess in power-efficient technologies, the emerging requirement for 5G and IIOT technologies across diverse industries, amplified industrial automation, and digitization in the industrial realm along with an increased necessity for energy in evolving countries. Foremajor trends for the prediction period are growth in automation technology, the inception of advanced DCS solutions tailored for particular industries, and the adoption of cloud-based DCS to optimize scalability and versatility.
What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Distributed Control Systems Market?
The surge in renewable energy utilization for electric power production is predicted to stimulate the distributed control systems market's expansion in the future. Renewable energy, produced from naturally replenishing resources consumed at a slower rate than they're restored, can be efficiently managed by distributed control systems. These systems aid the assimilation of renewable energy resources into the power grid by dynamically modifying power production and distribution to meet demand. For instance, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a United States government agency, stated in March 2022 that renewable energy is projected to triple its contribution to power generation, soaring from 21% in 2021 to 44% in 2050. This increase is primarily driven by fresh developments in wind and solar power. Consequently, the escalating usage of renewable energy for power production is propelling the distributed control systems market's expansion.
