Industrial Communication Market Size, Share, Industry Report, Revenue Trends and Growth Drivers 2028

The industrial communication market is projected to grow from USD 21.9 billion in 2023 to USD 29.0 billion by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2028. Initiatives undertaken by governments of different countries to promote the adoption of industrial automation, the growing need for scalable, faster, reliable, and interoperable communication protocols, increasing use of machine-to-machine communication technology, and increasing use of digital twin to safely monitor smart manufacturing operations are among the factors driving the growth of industrial communication market.

Driver: Increasing use of machine-to-machine communication technology

Better connectivity for smooth communication and low power requirements are the key reasons for the increased adoption of new machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies. To achieve effective M2M communication, the existing capacity of mobile networks must be able to handle billions of nodes that are expected to be deployed in the next couple of years. Currently, the network capacity is not capable of handling M2M and human-based communications, as well as their different communication patterns, including latency time. For this reason, a next-level cellular network for mobile communication featuring hyper-connectivity and larger bandwidth (e.g., 5G) is required. The M2M communication technology will be widely used in the coming years in heavy manufacturing industries and process industries (e.g., food industry) to increase the efficiency of different processes and reduce human intervention for machines.

M2M technology has opened new avenues for the industrial communication market. It enables enterprises to improve their productivity and safety in work environments, thus allowing them to attain better efficiencies. Such benefits of M2M communication are expected to further drive the industrial communication market.

Restraint: Absence of standardization in industrial communication protocols and interfaces

Industrial equipment or devices communicate through various interfaces, technologies, and protocols. The lack of standardization in these communication interfaces and protocols may result in the misrepresentation of data. The lack of standardization complicates the integration of systems and hinders the use of plug-and-play features for unrelated systems. For instance, most equipment manufacturers use their proprietary interface protocols to communicate with their devices, which results in communication challenges for the devices developed by other manufacturers.

Opportunity: Upsurge in demand for wireless networks

The rapid growth in the demand for wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth Smart, WirelessHART, WLAN, and Zigbee, is opening new growth opportunities for the industrial communication market, mainly for the oil & gas, electronics, and energy & power generation industries. Zigbee helps drive the market for low-cost wireless network solutions. The Zigbee IEEE 802.15.4 technology has been adopted by many organizations worldwide. Similarly, WirelessHART-enabled communication is becoming one of the most widely used options for signal transmission in process industries using HART communication. WLAN (IEEE 802.11) is used for high-performance infrastructure networks that are also suitable for industrial applications. Advancements in wireless communication technologies, especially cellular technologies, are helping various industries to monitor their assets across the world. These technologies enable efficient and universal communication for all industrial applications. In process and infrastructure applications, industrial wireless systems simplify the process of recording data from remote stations and field devices, which would otherwise be inaccessible for accomplishing the process. The speed and simplicity of the installation of wireless networks have also made them popular among industries, as they can be deployed to facilitate M2M communication even under extreme environments. All these factors have contributed to the growth of the market for wireless technologies for industrial communication, especially in highly industrialized regions, and are expected to drive the overall market in the coming years.

Challenge: Harsh field site conditions such as high-voltage transients, severe shocks and vibrations, and extremely high temperatures

Industrial communication technology is increasingly being deployed at remote field locations. Remote field locations are more prone to the effects of unfavorable and harsh conditions, such as high-voltage transients, shocks and vibrations, and extremely high temperatures. High voltage transients result from electrostatic discharge (ESD), surge, burst, electrical fast transients (EFT), and lightning strikes. Industrial switches should be capable of preventing high-voltage transients by providing high electromagnetic protection. Shock and vibration in machinery can separate networking wires meant for long-term exposure to shock and vibration, eventually resulting in electrical shorts, broken solder joints, loose printed circuit board (PCB) components, PCB delamination, and cracked device housings. Moreover, remote onsite locations may not have air conditioning; this raises the demand for switches with high-temperature tolerance and optimal heat dissipation to keep the switch lifecycle intact. Therefore, there is a requirement for robust industrial communication equipment to withstand harsh conditions.
