Increase in manufacturing activities in Asia Pacific and Middle East countries
is expected to contribute to the growing demand for distributed control system
(DCS) solutions across different end use industries. Increasing investments in
oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, power generation, and water and
waste-water industry among others is driving the demand for distributed
control systems in regional markets. There is rapid industrialization
worldwide since the markets have begun to revive after the launch of projects
that were deferred during the economic downturn.
Increasing demand for oil and gas is creating the need for technologically
advanced control systems for monitoring and controlling different activities
in order to increase production efficiency. Also, these systems can help in
reducing the risk to human life as DCS solutions can be implemented in
hazardous environments.
The growing demand for power is encouraging governments to set up new power
stations or upgrade the existing ones for capacity expansion. Use of DCS
solutions for monitoring different activities in power generation stations
will help in enhancing the power generation speed and avoid human errors
occurring during the process. Also, there is an increasing demand for
distributed control systems in food processing industries due to the rapidly
growing population.
The global distributed control systems market is segmented based on components
into hardware, software, and services. The software segment is the largest in
the global DCS market as most existing distributed control systems require
system up-gradation. DCS hardware is expected to become the fastest growing
segment during the forecast period from 2012 to 2018 due to the increasing
number of Greenfield projects in the Asia Pacific region.
The study on global distributed control systems, analyzes the market based on
major component type, applications of DCS in end user industry and major
geographies. The geographies analyzed under this report include North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. The report provides complete
analysis of the factors responsible for driving and restraining the global DCS
market and discusses the potential growth opportunities.
