The distributed control systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.14 billion in 2023 to $20.46 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to various factors, including the increasing use of renewable energy for power generation, the growth of industrial infrastructure, a focus on operational efficiency and cost reduction, a thriving power industry, and the increased capabilities of power generation. Additionally, compliance with safety rules and regulations has played a role in shaping the expansion of distributed control systems (DCS) during this period.
The distributed control systems market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increase in power demand and the adoption of energy-efficient technologies, rising demand for 5G and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies across various industries, growing industry automation, the ongoing trend of automation and digitization in the industrial sector, and a rise in energy demand across developing countries. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in automation technology, the development of advanced distributed control system (DCS) solutions tailored for specific industries, and the adoption of cloud-based DCS for scalability and flexibility.
The surge in the utilization of renewable energy sources for power generation is anticipated to drive the expansion of the distributed control systems market. Renewable energy, derived from replenishable natural sources, is increasingly being integrated into power grids worldwide. Distributed control systems play a pivotal role in managing this integration by dynamically adjusting power generation and distribution to meet demand. For instance, data from the European Commission in December 2023 highlights that renewable energy accounted for 23% of energy consumption in the EU, indicating a notable increase from 21.9% in 2021. This shift towards renewable energy adoption underscores the significance of distributed control systems in optimizing power grid operations.
Leading firms within the distributed control system market are focusing on the development of innovative products to cater to the needs of the power generation and water industries. One such example is Symphony Plus, a sophisticated distributed control system engineered to enhance plant efficiency and reliability through automation, integration, and optimization. For instance, in February 2023, ABB Ltd. introduced its latest offering, the ABB Ability Symphony Plus distributed control system, aimed at accelerating digital transformation in process automation. This advanced system grants users access to digital solutions such as fleet asset management facilitated by ABB Ability Genix Asset Performance Management. Moreover, it enables seamless access to process and alarm data through mobile devices via the ABB Mobile Operations application, empowering users to stay informed, react promptly, minimize downtime, and reduce operational costs.
In January 2021, Schneider Electric SE, a renowned France-based company specializing in digital automation and energy management, completed the acquisition of DC Systems for an undisclosed sum.
