Introduction:

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Market was valued at US$ 13.8 Billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.30% to reach US$ 63.8 Billion by 2034.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is the primary computing system, which controls automated machines. The system also helps in detecting any flaws or errors and alerts the technician. PLC systems are also favored over traditional systems, like relays and switch boxes, owing to their compact sizes. Another advantage of PLCs is their multi-functionality, due to their programmable nature that can be used for multiple operations depending on the application. The PLC consists of hardware, software, and services. The basic architecture of the PLC consists of main components, which are the processor module, the power supply, and the I/O modules

Increase in industrial manufacturing sector is growing utilization of intelligent machine tools to boost productivity. Rising automation in industries is projected to propel the global programmable logic controller (PLC) market growth over the forecast period. In addition, increased applications in commercial applications such as elevators, traffic controls, and washing machines is also driving growth of the target market. Increasing consumer tendency toward the adoption of intelligent machines has encouraged the retailers of commercial products, such as washing machines, to implement these components in the devices, fueling the PLC market growth. However, the complexity in the industrial control software is increasing and efficient & proper software is necessary to produce robust, reliable, & reusable software. This is expected to hamper the industry growth over the forecast period. Nevertheless, the manufacturers are developing robust components to expand the performance of these systems. In industrial automation, these components require communication with other control levels for identifying errors in processes monitoring & reporting functions. With the increasing volume of data these components have to manage, high-speed connections have become a requirement for reliable and secure data flow. Companies that provide secure connections are working on faster, stable, and more secure connections to make the process control technology efficient and cost-effective. This trend will affect the PLC market ecosystem due to the upgraded functionality of the systems as a whole.

The programmable logic controller (PLC) market is segmented based on type, end-user industry, and region.

On the basis of type, the global programmable logic controller (PLC) market is segmented into Hardware & software and services. Hardware & software type segment is further divided into nano PLC, small PLC, medium PLC, large PLC, and other types. Based on end-user, the target market is classified into food, tobacco, & beverage, automotive, chemical & petrochemical, energy & utilities, pharmaceuticals, pulp & paper, oil & gas, water & wastewater treatment, and other end-user industries. Automotive end-user industry is dominating the target market, owing to the increasing automation in the manufacturing industries. The automobile manufacturers are concentrating on severe demand influx and are finding it difficult to cater to the requirements with growing turn-around time hampering their businesses. To recover the turn-around time, the producers are implementing automation in the manufacturing facilities, thus boosting the PLC market growth in the sector.
