Industrial Communication Market Size, Share and Analysis By Offerings(Software, Hardware, Services), By Communication Protocol (Industrial Ethernet, Fieldbus, Wireless), By End User (Automotive and Transportation, Aerospace & Defense, Food & Beverages, Electrical & Electronics, Industrial Manufacturing, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Industrial Communication or communication protocol is a type of network structure designed as per the need of the industrial field. It can also be defined as the set of protocols through which the data is transferred between the system and the device, even enabling them to communicate. Automation in manufacturing units, to reduce energy consumption, reduce labor cost, increase safety, increase efficiency, and better connectivity, is achieved through a proper Industrial communication network.  Industrial automation, dependency on faster, reliable and scalable communication, and growth of the 5G network among many others are some of the driving factors of the Industrial Communication market.

The companies are adopting industry 4.0 at a higher rate to increase the efficiency, productivity, and profitability. Industry 4.0 concept is inevitable without IIoT, and this is one of the major factors of Industrial Communication market growth.

• In February 2020, Honeywell and Tech Mahindra partnered on a project “Industries of Future” to expand their businesses on 5G, IoT, and Industry 4.0.

The governments of different nations are also promoting infrastructural and digital developments in industries to enhance the holistic development of the country thereby contributing to the growth of Industrial Communication.

However, the lagging standardization in Industrial Communication protocols seems to hamper the market growth. Due to the lack of properly structured interfaces and protocols there is a high chance of data misinterpretation and data breaches.

• According to The New Indian Express the number of cybercrimes related to data breaches increased from 27,000 in 2018 to more than 50,000 in 2019.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Industrial Communication Market:

The ongoing COVID-19 situations has forced the adoption of remote working services for companies due to the lockdown imposed by governments. But many companies, after analyzing the benefits, are planning to make remote working as part of their work culture. So the service segment of industrial communication is one of the positively affected segment by COVID-19.

The pandemic has also positively impacted the adoption of digital twin. The digital twin allows us to do data analysis of the operations by remotely monitoring the process thereby reducing the downtime. Therefore, mentioned factors are impacting the hardware or component segment of the market.
