Overview of the global industrial embedded systems market
The global industrial embedded systems market is anticipated to grow at a steady CAGR of more than 5% during the forecast period. The increasing importance of embedded software will drive the growth of the global industrial embedded systems market until the end of 2020. In the past, several manufacturers relied on hardware-centric models such as the digital signal processor (DSP) and field application gateway arrays (FPGAs) to increase process efficiencies. But with the rising demand for cutting-edge technical systems, manufacturers are moving towards software-driven industrial embedded systems. This demand also corresponds to the advent of advanced human-machine interfaces, smart sensors, real-time data acquisition, and cloud computing. Also, a software-based approach supports an overall reduction in the developmental time and brings about a significant dip in the overall expenditure. This increase in the emphasis on software is a significant factor that will drive the growth prospects for the market in the forthcoming years.
In terms of geography, APAC accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 and will continue to dominate the market during the forecast period. The major factor contributing to this growth is the recent increase in the number of Greenfield projects. Also, the shift from legacy systems and machinery to modern technology and equipment is another factor driving growth. Additionally, the region has a strong presence in power, oil and gas, cement, automotive, electrical and electronics, pulp and paper, steel and metal processing, semiconductor and chemical and petrochemical industries, which also drives the market’s growth prospects in the coming years.
