Overview of the global industrial routers market

Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global industrial routers market to grow steadily at a CAGR of around 9%. One of the primary drivers for this market is the exponential rise in the adoption of the internet of things (IoT) enabled devices. The incorporation of IoT in industries has created strong interconnectivity features in the manufacturing sector. It involves seamless connection of the entire production chain, from raw material supply and logistics to the delivery of finished products. In contrast to the present or traditional fixed programs, machinery and equipment will be empowered to self-enhance and optimize processes by analysis of real-time data and autonomous decisions, improving the overall productivity. This involves the use of individual sensors, actuators, control technologies, and safety systems. All functions are to converge on a high-performance server or cloud by incorporation of the industrial internet of things (IIoT), which will allow efficient management, optimal use of resources, and reduction of expenditure. Moreover, advantages such as increased speed with minimal effort, the capability of better decision making and incorporation of expert opinions, and significantly reduced harmful effects on the environment are expected to propel the growth of the global industrial routers market during the forecast period.

In terms of geography, EMEA accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 and will continue to dominate the market for the next few years. The development of the manufacturing industry and other new projects for the oil and gas industry is one of the major reason for the growth of the industrial router market in the region. Also, European vendors have invested in industrial resources, creating more durable and robust industrial routers with specific materials, enabling them to survive in harsh and demanding industrial environments. This growing necessity of secured and reliable transfer of industrial data is expected to augment growth in the industrial router market in the coming years.
