Programmable Logical Controllers (PLC) are used at a wide range of scales for industrial automation operations. Industries such as oil and gas, automotive, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, and others. A Programmable Logical Controller (PLC) is a significant part of industrial automation to control and manage automated operations.
Global Programmable Logical Controllers Automation Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Growing importance of industrial automation
There is continuously increasing industrial automation in various sectors. Automation also includes programmable automation, flexible automation, and soft automation. Programmable automation saves multiple times for a manufacturer and gives them huge productivity, which is a demanding factor for the growth of the Global programmable logical controller automation market. In January 2022, World Economic Forum (WEF) released a report regarding industrial automation. In this report, they have mentioned that the fourth industrial revolution is changing manufacturing processes with the utilization of automated control systems.
- High Security Offered by PLC
There is high security provided by PLCs which makes them a sustainable option for current and future automation operations. UpKeep Technologies, Inc. released a post on its website regarding the security of PLCs. In this post, they mentioned that most of the PLC systems have advanced safety and security controls to defend the data within. In addition, companies are able to acquire sensitive information more securely than on more conventional, broader systems.
Opportunity
- Increasing Usage Of Industrial Robots and Research and Development
Jabil Inc. released a report in 2023, and this report they have stated that Industrial robots have emerged in the industrial workplace across industries since their introduction to the manufacturing landscape. In fact, the market growth of industrial robots is at a high stage. They have also added that the growth of robotics is projected to be worth more than USD 66 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 15.1% during the forecast period. If there is an increase in automation and growth in robotics and in the industrial sector, it is expected to be a significant opportunity for the growth of the Global programmable logical controller automation market.
Restraint/Challenge
- High Cost Associated With PLC
There is a real concern that dumps the demand for PLC and which is the higher cost associated with PLC. In January 2021, Altium Limited released a report in which they mentioned that PLC systems are associated with having a high cost, when they are from reputable manufacturers. Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Mahavidyalaya released a report in which they stated that the modular PLC has a higher cost than a fixed PLC, so this may not be cost-effective for smaller applications or operations. Hence, the high cost of PLC may affect manufacturers' profit margins, and it is expected to negatively impact the PLC market's growth and act as a restraining factor for the Global programmable logical controller automation market.
- Impact of Harsh Conditions on PLC
A PLC is a strong computer particularly designed to operate well under harsh industrial environments – such as high temperatures and wet, dry, and dusty conditions. However, due to high vibrations produced by other machinery and harsh industrial conditions, PLC cannot perform at the best level. In 2023, ecstuff4u released a report regarding PLC. In this report, they have mentioned some disadvantages of PLC. They have added that there is a restriction on the working of PLCs in high temperature and vibration conditions. Some PLCs turn on when power is reinstalled, which is expected to cause an accident or harm the operations. Due to this reason, the impact of harsh conditions of the industrial environment on PLC is expected to act as a challenge for the growth of the Global programmable logical controller automation market.
