Industrial Communication market is segmented into Fieldbus Protocol, Industrial Ethernet protocol, And Wireless protocol based on the industrial Communication protocol. Ethernet holds the major share in the market at 62% in 2020. Fieldbus protocol follows at 31% in 2020. Fieldbus includes PROFIBUS, Modbus, and Devicenet are attributed towards the market growth. Increased automation projects the support towards the growth of Fieldbus specifically PROFIBUS which covered a major share in the past. The increasing demand for low-cost and flexible communication is augmenting the demand for PROFIBUS. Ethernet follows PROFIBUS in the growth as the adoption of advanced communication protocol. However Wireless protocol technology is projected to witness strong growth driven by the increased adoption of mobile private networks.

Industrial communication market is segmented into Automotive and Transportation, Electronics, Aerospace, Oil & gas, Water & waste water, Energy and power, Mining, and others based on the end user industry. The leading sector which uses the industrial communication is Automotive and Transportation which accounts for 23% share in 2020. The advanced technologies to create manufacturing process efficiently in terms of production cost, flexibility and operational efficacy. High performance industrial communication protocol is needed in various end user industries and these transfer the large amount of data in real time with little delay, operates in energy efficient manner within plant and remote connectivity and connects a large number individual devices in a reliable way for many automotive and transportation applications. The rising adoption of fieldbus and wireless protocols in these industries will drive market growth

Industrial Communication market is dominating in APAC region with major share of revenue and demand in 2020 at 35.6%. Developing countries like China and India are the largest producers of the electronic products and they are moving towards to the adoption of advanced technology and in-turn boosting the automotive sector by the use of automation. European market is also a lucrative market for the industrial communication and driven by the large scale investment in the industry 4.0. APAC is anticipated to be the fastest growing market with a CAGR 7.6% during the forecast period 2021-2026 owing to rapid deployment of cloud-based services and shift towards industry 4.0. South East Asia is analyzed to be the hot-zone for establishing manufacturing hubs during 2021-2026. Indian Government has launched “Make in India” program to facilitate investment, innovation and build smart manufacturing infrastructure in the country. Bosch has announced to invest $17 billion by the end of 2021 in India to launch AI enabled products in automotive sector. Such initiatives and investments are estimated to stimulate the market growth.

Industrial communication is one which is dependent on the industrial automation. Interoperable communication should be faster and reliable. It should be capable enough to provide the response in no time. The interoperable protocols must go hand in hand with wide range of industrial equipments. The growing deployment will drive the market growth of industrial communication.

Industrial Ethernet refers to a set of Ethernet protocols that are based on the standard Ethernet hardware and internet protocols, together with a proprietary application layer. The application layer protocol ensures the correct data is transmitted and that it’s received when and where it’s needed for a specific operation. Industrial Ethernet is one such driving factor because of its feature it has increased distance connection and ability to connect more nodes and this drives its use in the industries process.

Increased number of manufacturers has increase many protocols and those protocols should be compatible with the produced equipments and while manufacturing having all the information about the protocols or the device is a bit tougher. Having standard protocols can be a challenge in industrial communication market. A key challenge in industrial communication is real time monitoring. Without having real time monitoring small problem may go unnoticed and they will become unmanageable and halt communication. Transmitting the data over long distances in a huge geographical expanse is also challenging factor.

The companies use Product launches as their key strategy also increase investments in Research and Developments. The major players of the market are Emerson Electric Company, General Electric, Schneider Electric, TE connectivity, Siemens AG, Rockwell Automation and others
