Virtualization in Industrial Automation Market: Key Drivers and Trends
The use of virtualization in industrial automation decouples the physical hardware from the operating system and facilitates the application of various operating systems, unlike traditional industrial automation systems. As a result, virtualization helps industrial plants to integrate multiple plant operations on a single server while increasing the overall operational efficiency. This also reduces the need for acquiring additional hardware, reducing expenses. Furthermore, this setup provides enough scalability to the plant operators to incorporate one physical server that can host multiple virtual machines. These beneficial factors are driving the popularity of virtualization in industrial automation. The ability to run multiple operating systems on a single physical server is one of the major factors driving market growth.
Significant improvements in the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), one of the key virtualization in industrial automation market trends, will also drive market growth. NFV improves the efficiency of vast network elements by enhancing the ability to manage traffic flow and analyze data in networks. In addition, IIoT-enabled devices are being increasingly adopted which require a strong architect for data transfer and analysis. Several improvements and advancements in technology will help in the virtualization of the network function. Such factors will drive market growth at a CAGR of almost 4% by 2024.
