This ARC market research explores current and historical market performance and related technology and business trends, identifies leading suppliers, and provides five-year global forecasts for distributed control systems sold to the electric power generation market. This new research is based on ARC’s industry-leading market research databases, extensive primary and secondary research, and proprietary economic modeling techniques. The research includes competitive analysis; five-year market forecasts by region, plant type, hardware, software and services, sales channels, end customers, and more.
This year's report also includes a comprehensive discussion of current qualitative trends in the evolution of the DCS. This includes the impact of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) on DCSs and the potential impact of recent end user initiatives to move to more open and interoperable process automation platforms.
Harry Forbes, Research Director, ARC Advisory Group and principal author of this study says, “The market for distributed control systems serving the power generation industry suffered another year of decline in 2015. One of the leading contributors to the decline is the shift in primary energy sources for power generation going on worldwide. Coal is being replaced by a combination of natural gas (used primarily in combined-cycle generating plants) and renewables. Nuclear power is declining in global importance, and instead will become an important source only in certain regions of the world (notably France and China).”
