Industrial PC Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growing popularity of modular PC is notably driving the industrial PC market growth, although factors such as high cost and design complexity may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the industrial PC industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Industrial PC Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the industrial PC market growth is the growing popularity of modular PC. With changing end-user requirements, industrial PCs are also witnessing a change in terms of design and performance. Panel PCs are witnessing an increase in demand owing to the reduced availability of floor space in industrial and commercial facilities. With growing complexity in industries, vendors are offering industrial PCs that are rugged enough to handle dust, chemicals, high temperature, and moisture. Vendors are upgrading the hardware and software capabilities of their industrial PCs by equipping them with efficient processors, real-time communication capabilities, and drivers. The push from vendors toward developing advanced embedded platforms has increased considerably. Vendors are also developing processor technologies that can be used in embedded applications to deliver high performance, increase connectivity, and reduce power consumption. The availability of high-performance ARM processors that come at low costs and with improved power efficiency has increased, which has, in turn, helped companies to introduce a large number of microprocessor variants in the market. With vendors continuously working to improve the usability and aesthetics of PCs with new, improved features, industrial PCs are becoming highly modularized and dynamic, which is resulting in the higher adoption of industrial PCs.
Key Industrial PC Market Trend
Another key factor driving industrial PC market growth is the demand for industrial PCs in the wind and solar power monitoring. The growth in renewable energy sources has presented new application areas for embedded industrial PCs in solar and wind power generation. For instance, embedded industrial PCs are being increasingly used in wind farms, where these PCs act as the main controller of a wind turbine by monitoring its power feed, adjusting wind speed, recording data, and notifying errors. With the increasing adoption of automation in wind turbines, end-users prefer a combination of embedded PCs, EtherCAT fieldbus systems, and software so that they can have a single system for controlling tasks, grid synchronization, and system-wide communication. Embedded PCs offer a perfect solution as these are now fitted with advanced processors that help enhance their overall performance. With the growth in offshore wind farms, vendors are also offering solutions for remote monitoring in embedded PCs. For instance, Beckhoff Automation offers a multi-user web application for remote access to its CX5010 embedded PC. Solar and wind power generation capacity is expected to become viable in the coming years, which is expected to drive the demand for industrial PCs in solar and wind power generation.
Key Industrial PC Market Challenge
High cost and design complexity is one of the key challenges hindering the industrial PC market growth. Industrial PCs are costly in comparison to conventional PCs owing to their high upfront cost. These PCs also require a high level of integration with legacy devices in industries. The integration process is often complex owing to the compatibility of industrial PCs with updated automation and control technology. The availability of complex networking system components, control buses, routers, bridges, gateways, and other supporting devices such as actuators and sensors results in interoperability issues in systems. Besides this, industrial PCs involve high design complexity, which requires operators to have sound technical knowledge. For industrial PCs such as embedded ones, the need to effectively interlink hardware and software design further adds to design complexity. The design part of embedded industrial PCs includes architectural design, analysis, understanding of component characteristics. Moreover, at application-level, embedded industrial PCs must be able to deal with applications such as video, networking, and wireless.
This industrial PC market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
