Industrial control refers to electronic control systems that can control, monitor, and automate industrial processes with high precision, improved product quality, and reliability. The main types of control systems of industrial controls are distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA,) and manufacturing execution system (MES). A distributed control system (DCS) is a platform for automated plant or industrial process control and operation. Human -machinerface (HMI), logic solvers, historian, common database, alarm management, and a common engineering suite are all combined into a DCS. The various component used includes modular terminal block relays and optocouplers, surge protectors, marking systems, printing, ferules cable lugs, handtools, testers, enclosure products, PCB connectors, and terminals, heavy-duty connectors, analog signal coconditionerselectronics housings, power supplies, industrial ethernet, and Remote IO. Industrial controls are used by automotive, utility, electronics and semiconductors, mining, and other end-users. The industrial controls market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides industrial controls market statistics, including industrial controls industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an industrial controls market share, detailed industrial controls market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the industrial controls industry. This industrial controls market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global industrial controls market size will grow from $136.82 billion in 2022 to $145.76 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global industrial controls market size is expected to grow to $179.89 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.4%. The growth of manufacturing industries, especially in developing economies is expected to support the growth of the industrial controls market. Industrial controls are monitor and automate industrial processes with high precision, improved product quality, and reliability. For instance, in April 2022, according to Goldman Sachs, a US-based investment banking company, the Indian manufacturing sector had growth of 210% in the fiscal year 2021–2022, compared to the fiscal year 2020–21, as well as a substantial increase in new investment and ordering activity post the pandemic. Compared to 2019–20, the manufacturing sector saw a 460% increase in 2021–22. Similarly, in March 2022, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), an Austrian based agency that assists in economic and industrial development, global manufacturing production increased by 9.4% in 2021. Thus, the growth of manufacturing industries will support the growth of the industrial controls market. The industrial controls market is expected to be aided by rapid growth in investments in smart city projects in many countries globally. Industrial controls are being designed using artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) that can support energy, telecommunications, surveillance, and other services. Smart city technologies are integrated with electrical and electronic components, thereby benefitting the companies operating in this market. According to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) report in March 2021, India-based government agency for providing economic information, the government of India announced the investment of $ 28.31 billion for the "Smart City Mission" in 2020 and additionally, by 2020, 176,059 crores (US$ 24.31 billion), or 86% of the total, will have been offered to complete projects. For instance, more than 1,000 smart city pilot projects are either ready for or are under construction globally and around 500 of these projects are in China. Malicious cyber-attacks due to a lack of security in industrial infrastructure are acting as a restraint on the industrial controls market. Industrial controls are increasingly being integrated with connected sensors and integrated data systems making them vulnerable to cyber-attacks. For instance, 156 tornado alarm systems in the US city of Dallas were hacked forcing authorities to shut down the emergency system. OEMs are increasingly outsourcing product design and development processes to EMS partners to reduce overall costs and shift from fixed costs to variable costs. Some OEMs are collaborating with EMS partners and moving into new business models such as joint design manufacturing (JDM) and outsourced design manufacturing (ODM). JDM model is further divided into high touch JDM and low touch JDM. ODM model focuses on qualification and system integration testing, thus indicating a shift in the industrial controls manufacturing process.
