The rising adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT) is notably driving market growth, although a lack of determinism in industrial communication networks may impede market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The Industrial Communication Market is driven by the growing adoption of IIoT technology. IIoT connects physical devices with sensors, software, and hardware to exchange data without human intervention. Smart devices and traditional non-internet-enabled devices make up the IIoT network. Manufacturers benefit from open networks like Ethernet over dedicated automation networks due to higher bandwidth and continuous expansion. IIoT implementation in smart factories boosts throughput, productivity, and inventory reduction. Industrial end users with Ethernet ecosystems can fully leverage smart factories' efficiency. The increasing adoption of IIoT technology positively impacts the global industrial communications market's growth during the forecast period.
The integration of Fieldbus with IIoT is a significant trend driving the growth of the Industrial Communication Market. The 4th Industrial Revolution brought about the convergence of IIoT and Fieldbuses, especially in modern industrial communication systems, to enhance connectivity, security, and performance. Fieldbus enables real-time data transmission on device status, diagnostics, process variables, and configuration parameters via IIoT, ensuring constant monitoring of plant operations for optimal performance. This integration reduces CAPEX and OPEX as end-users benefit from internet-enabled industrial automation systems, minimizing the need for additional auxiliary devices and reducing downtime for application delivery. The coexistence of simple and intelligent devices with standardized communication protocols ensures investment security, positively impacting the market growth during the forecast period.
The Industrial Communication Market faces challenges due to the lack of determinism in industrial communication networks. Determinism refers to a communication protocol's ability to ensure that messages are sent and received within a fixed or predictable time, crucial for critical control applications in industrial automation. Industrial control systems require real-time information transfer, where even a slight network interruption can disrupt the manufacturing process and compromise personnel safety. Ethernet networks' characteristics, with nodes sending data packets to all other nodes, can lead to collisions, reducing determinism and potentially impacting the market's growth during the forecast period.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.

Data is qualitatively analyzed to categorize vendors as pure play, category-focused, industry-focused, and diversified; it is quantitatively analyzed to categorize vendors as dominant, leading, strong, tentative, and weak.
The market share growth by the Fieldbus segment will be significant during the forecast period. Fieldbus is an industrial network system used for real-time distributed control. It is a method of connecting devices in a production facility. Different types of fieldbuses used for communication in the industry are Profibus, Modbus, and others. Profibus connects automation modules to process controllers. The process controller uses a single multidrop cable to connect devices. The equipment is economical for use on large construction sites. This is because installation costs are low and fault isolation is easier with a single cable connection.

The Fieldbus segment was valued at USD 42.28 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The emergence of Industry 4.0 and IIoT in the process industry highlights the importance of real-time communication and automation systems. Industrial Fieldbus protocols such as SERCOS III are therefore used for intelligent monitoring and autonomous decision-making. This method is used in the process industry for integrated safety and control systems. Therefore, continued implementation of integrated safety and intelligent monitoring systems in process industries is expected to drive demand for SERCOS III over the forecast period.
