Get The ReportAccording to technology advisory firm ABI Research, both Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)/Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and Distributed Control System (DCS) software are expected to see respectable growth in new deployments, with Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGRs) of 3% and 2.7%, respectively, between 2025 and 2035. These technologies are critical underpinnings of industrial automation systems, and as manufacturers increasingly look to automate production processes, especially in Western markets due to labor shortages and wage pressures, the relative value of this software will improve. T
The need for connected systems to allow access to data across not just plants, but also organizations, is also driving an increased adoption of new next-generation SCADA/HMI and DCS systems, as many legacy deployments are now decades old, with heavily siloed data.
The pickup of digital transformation among Small and Medium Business (SMB) manufacturers is also contributing to robust growth rates in automation software, and these markets are a core focus of many industrial vendors as they look to grow footprints beyond traditional enterprise-grade customers.
