Increasing Adoption of Power over Data Line (PoDL) Capabilities Bolsters Middle East & Africa Single Pair Ethernet Market
The increasing adoption of Power over Data Line (PoDL) capabilities is anticipated to be a significant trend in the Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) market. PoDL allows the simultaneous transmission of power and data over a single pair of wires, providing several advantages across various industries. PoDL enables the transmission of power to connect devices without the need for a separate power cable. This efficiency is particularly valuable in applications where simplified cabling and reduced installation complexity are essential. For example, in industrial settings, PoDL can power sensors, actuators, and other devices, streamlining the deployment of automation systems.PoDL enables devices to receive power and data through a single cable, providing flexibility in device placement. This flexibility is advantageous in scenarios where devices need to be deployed in locations that are challenging to reach with separate power and data lines. For instance, in building automation, PoDL can power and connect sensors or actuators in locations that are difficult to access with traditional cabling methods.
As industries evolve and adopt more power-hungry devices, PoDL-equipped SPE systems can scale to meet increasing power demands. Thus, the increasing adoption of PoDL capabilities is offering efficiency, flexibility, and cost savings across various industries and applications. The combination of data and power delivery in a single cable aligns with the evolving requirements of modern connectivity solutions.
Middle East & Africa Single Pair Ethernet Market Overview
The market in the MEA is segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of MEA. The region is witnessing significant growth in conceptualizing smart manufacturing, industrial automation, and IIoT-based applications. The establishment of high-quality manufacturing plants backed by favorable government policies strengthens the regional manufacturing sector. Approximately 76% of manufacturers in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META) are engaging in a formal digital transformation program to boost the adoption of Industry 4.0.Strategic initiatives and development plans to modernize the industrial sector and drive national transformation contribute to smart manufacturing in the MEA. The growing awareness about the use of big data analytics to refine complicated processes and manage supply chains is boosting the single pair ethernet market growth in the MEA. As robotics and automation are the prominent application areas of SPE, the manufacturers are deploying smart manufacturing solutions to improve supply chain operations. Below mentioned are a few developments in the MEA:
In December 2020, Infor supported manufacturers in the Middle East to make them prepare for the Industry 4.0 revolution. The company reported that countries in the region have the potential for sector-specific development and are aiming to improve the industrial sector and support their national transformation initiatives. nearly 75% of the population in the region is a mix of Millennials or Gen Z. Therefore, the adoption of industrial automation and Industry 4.0 triggered positively in the region. By using new technology, manufacturers of food, pharmaceutical, and electronics products in Abu Dhabi (the UAE) are getting a new government initiative that has unveiled a "Smart Manufacturing Project" to accelerate productivity.
The project aims to attract new financing solutions to fund the transition of factories to become safer, highly automated, and efficient through technology. Moreover, the government of Abu Dhabi announced Industry 4.0, an initiative to fuel the digital capabilities of thousands of local manufacturers via partnerships with numerous multinationals, such as Adnoc, Microsoft, and Siemens. Industry 4.0 aims to propel manufacturing by 30% and add US$ 6.8 billion (AED 25 billion) to the economy by 2031. In addition to smart manufacturing in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar are other countries gaining high prominence from favorable government assistance.
In cooperation with stakeholders, the Turkish government is working on developing, installing, and monitoring models for smart manufacturing. Saudi Arabia also has a strong manufacturing base. The inclination of different countries in the MEA toward reinforcing the manufacturing sector would propel automation in industries, which is expected to drive the demand for SPE to access real-time manufacturing data and connected devices.
