DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEMS MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2025-2032)

Distributed Control Systems evolved out of the integration of computers with process control in the 1970s. This was a response to the availability of microprocessors and their ability to handle sophisticated applications. Early applications included set point and direct digital control with minicomputers such as the DE PDP-11, Varian Data Machines and MODCOMP. Today, DCS is a common method of controlling process plants and is the preferred control mechanism for many industries including oil refineries, chemical plants, mining operations and ore processing facilities. These DCSs are typically connected to several hundred I/O points in the various processes that run through the plant.

Market Dynamics

The global distributed control systems market is expected to grow at a rapid rate owing to the increased use of automation in the process industries. The rising need for quality products and high production rates are driving the adoption of automation. These systems reduce human interference, which in turn helps improve productivity. 

However, factors such as rise in availability alternative solutions, and increasing cost competition are likely to impede growth of the global distributed control systems market during the forecast period.
