"PROFINET segment is expected to dominate the market for industrial Ethernet during the forecast period."
The PROFINET segment is likely to dominate the industrial Ethernet market between 2025 and 2030 due to its high scalability, real-time performance, and widespread support by top automation suppliers, particularly in Europe. Designed to handle standard and time-critical industrial applications, this technology delivers seamless integration with current installations, making it ideal for numerous disparate industrial environments, ranging from factory automation to process control. Its support for high-speed data exchange, deterministic communications, and open network topologies makes it competitive against other protocols. Moreover, its acceptance across the board by industry leaders and compatibility with a vast array of devices further confirm its status as the go-to industrial Ethernet option.
"WLAN segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR in the wireless industrial communication market from 2025 to 2030."
The WLAN segment is likely to grow at the fastest rate in the wireless industrial communication market, driven by the growing demand for wireless, flexible, and scalable connections in smart manufacturing. As businesses use distributed wireless devices, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and remote monitoring systems, WLAN makes wireless communication possible without the confines of wired infrastructure. Its ability to support real-time data sharing, speedy deployment, and high device density makes it ideal for dynamic, space-limited industrial settings. The use of private wireless networks and Wi-Fi 6 enhances performance, reliability, and security, which is driving WLAN use in a wide range of industrial use cases.
"India is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR in the global industrial communication market during forecast period."
India is poised to record the highest CAGR in the global industrial communication market during the forecast period owing to the accelerating industrialization, robust government drives such as Make in India and Digital India, and increasing automation adoption in industry verticals, such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation. The expanding industry base, investments in smart factories, and the increasing demand for secure communications infrastructure to enable IIoT and Industry 4.0 are key growth drivers. In addition, favorable policies, advancements in digital infrastructure, and the emergence of regional technology vendors boost the adoption of industrial communication solutions in the region.
Cisco Systems, Inc. (US), Siemens (Germany), OMRON Corporation (Japan), Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (China), Rockwell Automation (US), Moxa Inc. (Taiwan), Belden Inc. (US), and ABB (Switzerland) are some key players in the industrial communication market.
