Distributed Control System Market Impact of New Technologies and Trends

Market Research Future Insights

A distributed control system (DCS) is a computer-based system for monitoring and controlling industrial processes. DCSs are used in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.

A DCS is made up of a network of controllers, sensors, actuators, and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). The controllers are distributed throughout the plant, and they communicate with each other and with the HMIs over a high-speed network. The HMIs allow operators to monitor and control the process in real time.

The Global Distributed Control System Market is estimated to be worth USD 13.8 Billion by 2030, registering a 13.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2023- 2030).

The distributed control system is a customized system that includes separate controllers dedicated to each machine or a particular group of machines. It is an automated system that controls numerous process elements, distributed over an industrial plant.

The local controllers in various sections of an industrial plant communicate with each other, and the overall system, via a high-speed network.

These local controllers are microprocessing units that obtain data and execute the control functions in a distributed control system. Numerous communication protocols like Modbus, Arc Net, HART, and Profibus are applied for communication establishment among these controllers.

Increasing power requirements of end users and growing awareness about emissions-free electricity will push for the deployment of distributed management systems on the global market. Boosting oil production and rearing energy demand will push the need for the deployment of DCS at scales across the oil and gas and electricity sector, which is estimated to boost the market in the forecast period.

Further, the massive demand for I/O and the proliferation of digital networks in the process control system would transform the market. Also, company development and an upsurge in revenue generation are projected to enable growth in the globally distributed control system market.
