New ARC research explores latest market dynamics for distributed control systems
November 2016
News
The ARC Advisory Group has just completed fresh market analysis and associated research on the worldwide market for distributed control systems (DCS).
This research explores current and historical market performance and related technology and business trends, identifies leading suppliers, and provides five-year global forecasts for the DCS market. This new research is based on ARC’s industry-leading market research database, extensive primary and secondary research, and proprietary economic modelling techniques. The research includes competitive analysis; five-year market forecasts by region, industry, hardware, software and services, sales channels, end customers, and more. This year’s report also includes a new segmentation for new projects versus modernisation and expansion projects.
There is a comprehensive discussion on current qualitative trends in the evolution of the DCS, which includes the impact of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) on DCSs and the potential impact of recent end user initiatives to move to more open and interoperable process automation platforms.
Larry O’Brien, vice president of research at ARC and principal author of this study says, “ARC has been following the DCS market closely for 30 years and we believe the technology and the market are both on the verge of significant disruptions. This is due to a combination of the intense cost pressures that owner-operators now face in major end user industries and the rapid convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT).”
This new research is available in a variety of formats to meet the specific budgetary requirements of a wide variety of organisations. These include:
• Market Intelligence Workbook (Excel) – personalised spreadsheet includes up to five years of historical data in addition to the current base year market data and five-year market forecast. This workbook enables licensed users to freely manipulate the data to make it easier to analyse the latest data for business intelligence and generate custom reports.
• Comprehensive Market Outlook Study (PDF) – provides an executive-level summary of the current market dynamics, market forecasts, and competitive analysis, plus an overview of strategic issues. Also includes in-depth quantitative and qualitative research into the current market, future and historical trends, plus competitive analysis.
