Surging Demand for IIoT in Industrial Automation Fuels North America Single Pair Ethernet Market

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is an end-to-end industrial Ethernet technology that is taking over the old legacy of Fieldbus networks and traditional Ethernet and smart manufacturing, creating a path for IIoT and Industry 4.0. With industrial communication technology getting advanced the demand for SPE is increasing in the market. It has been witnessed that there is a higher demand for solutions that would adapt to long-lasting strategies in smart manufacturing. The SPE is gaining high acceptance in industrial applications such as process automation and condition-based monitoring.

The 10Base-T1 standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) permitted SPE to be utilized for faster connectivity, higher quality health insights, and higher performance in the smart manufacturing setting. As technology gets more sophisticated, manufacturers worldwide focus on staying ahead of competitors by revolutionizing business strategies to fulfill initiatives around machine learning, smart manufacturing, and industrial automation.

SPE is receiving acceptance in the process, automotive, transportation, industrial automation, robotics, and advanced manufacturing industries. The IEEE certified a new standard for single pair ethernet protocol - the IEEE 802.3cg standard (also depicted as the 10Base-T1). The 10Base-T1S "Short Range" is ideal for automotive, computing, and industrial applications within a range of 25 m. The 10Base-T1L "Long Range" is appropriate for IoT, Industrial areas (including factories, large warehouses, and many more) where the range is 1,000 m.

As more and more industrial components become smarter, the connections are no longer restricted to internal company networks. This factor has made the devices a part of the Internet. With increased collection and use of data, the need for more concentrated infrastructure is also increasing. At the same time, the advanced infrastructure of transforming industries is projected to take up less space and fewer resources and is promoting the use of more sensors and high network bandwidth. Thus, surging demand for IIOT in industrial automation is increasing the demand for SPE in the market.

North America Single Pair Ethernet Market Overview

The single pair ethernet market in North America is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The region is characterized by the presence of developed economies with high GDP per capita, large-scale industrialization and infrastructure, favorable economic policies, a positive outlook toward adopting modern technology, and a high inclination for automation across industrial and commercial sectors. Most Fortune 500 manufacturing companies have a strong presence in North America, especially in the US. The US is the largest user of industrial robotics in North America, with more than 75% share, followed by Mexico and Canada.

Factors such as increased emphasis on improving production efficiency and high labor costs contribute to the adoption of Industry 4.0 practices at a higher rate. According to the Association for Advancing Automation, North America witnessed a 28% higher rate of robotics procurement in 2021 than in 2020. Also, 48% of robotics procurement was from automotive manufacturers, followed by metal, food, consumer goods, semiconductors and electronics/photonics, plastics and rubber, and life sciences/pharma/biomed manufacturers. Thus, the high inclination toward automation in the region is expected to drive the single pair ethernet market in the region in the coming years.

North America has one of the largest automotive markets, with the US being the second-largest market globally. Companies such as General Motors, Ford, Chevrolet, VW, Tesla, Dodge, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Renault have many manufacturing facilities in North America. Further, the US and Canadian governments are announcing the phase-out of gas-powered vehicles by 2035, boosting the production of electric vehicles (EVs). This is projected to drive the single pair ethernet market in North America during the forecast period. To curtail carbon emissions, governments in North America are emphasizing clean energy. For instance, in 2021, the US and Canada announced that they would be carbon neutral by 2050.

Due to such initiatives, the development of solar and wind power projects is increasing across the region. For instance, in December 2021, the US government approved two solar projects in Riverside County, California, which will generate up to 465 MW of electricity, enough to power ~132,000 homes. Thus, the rising deployment of wind and solar farms is anticipated to propel the single pair ethernet utilization in the future.

North America has a significant number of smart grids, smart cities, and smart farms, which also contributes to the growth of the single pair ethernet market in North America. Microchip Technology Inc., Vericom Global Solutions, Telebyte Inc., Molex, and UL LLC are among the regional members of the Single Pair Ethernet System Alliance, an alliance formed to promote single pair ethernet technology.
