Data Acquisition System (DAQ) Market

Global Data Acquisition System (DAQ) Market Size (2024 to 2029)

As per our analysis report, the global Data Acquisition System (DAQ) Market is expected to reach USD 2.74 billion by 2029 from USD 2.1 billion in 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% during the forecast timeline.

The data acquisition system is used in the process of sampling signals that measure real-world physical conditions and converting the resulting samples into digital numeric values that can be manipulated by a computer. These systems have been abbreviated by the acronyms DAS or DAQ which typically can convert analogue waveforms into digital values for processing.

These data acquisition systems play a crucial role in decision-making in real-time in the industrial sector. To maintain a competitive edge while facilitating the users to access the data at any time, irrespective of the location. These data acquisition systems have evolved from mere processing systems to the key to achieving the comprehensive benefits of automation, and companies are evolving towards a data-centric approach in production and operations.

Many organizations are seeking to introduce new systems to address the rising demand for applications with the help of innovation, quality, and service in the worldwide DAQ system market, which is highly competitive. This is further driven by the increased competition among OEMs to adopt new technological advancements in the automotive, aerospace & defence, and energy sectors. To be competitive in the market, engineers and designers of these technical solutions must frequently test and upgrade their equipment. In recent years, major OEMs in the aerospace and automotive sectors in North America and Europe have focused their development efforts on the implementation of 5G and IoT in manufacturing. Top aerospace companies like Airbus and Boeing, for example, use IoT technology to do sophisticated analytics, which improves manufacturing performance by using live tracking and complex simulations to predict the equipment's lifecycle.

MARKET DRIVERS

In the aerospace and defence, government, energy, and automotive industries, data monitoring improves operational quality and aids in early fault detection. Furthermore, data monitoring is essential to improve equipment operational efficiency while requiring minimal human interaction.

Data monitoring aids in the evaluation of assets such as solar PV, wind turbines, and other power-producing equipment in the energy sector. Monitoring wind turbine data, for example, has become increasingly important to wind power-producing operations in the United States in recent years. According to British Petroleum, overall wind generation in the United States reached 340.9 TWH in 2020, the highest level ever. In addition, after China, the United States ranked second in overall wind consumption in 2020. Wind turbines must be regularly monitored for characteristics such as vibrations, wind speed, and temperature in order to operate efficiently and reliably as wind-generating capacity grows. Data monitoring is used in the aerospace industry to analyse flight aerodynamics and validate the design and safety parameters of engines and other aircraft components.

Aerospace, wireless communication, automotive, and manufacturing are just a few of the industries that have embraced 5G technology quickly. For example, the present 4G technology is insufficient to support the development and acceptance of autonomous vehicles in the automotive industry. Electronics used in autonomous vehicle development, such as image recognition systems, speech detection systems, and other digital devices, require 5G technology to enable high-speed communication. In the same way, 5G technology is being used in the aerospace sector to increase avionics equipment reliability by reducing latency and increasing transmission speed. Furthermore, several countries have begun to invest in 5G technology in order to strengthen their digital infrastructure and remain competitive in the digital economy. The major countries that have embraced and deployed 5G wireless infrastructure include South Korea, China, the United States, and Germany. These countries are likely to offer DAQ systems prospects in a variety of end-user industries, including wireless communication and infrastructure. During the forecast period, this is projected to open up new prospects for the DAQ system market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

DAQ system buyers are price-conscious, looking for low-cost, high-quality solutions. Critical parameters such as sensors, channel counts, and the requirement to develop a DAQ system that can resist harsh working environments, on the other hand, determine the cost of a DAQ system. The higher the channel count and speed, the more expensive it will be. DAQ systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated as a result of technological advancements in the design and development of this equipment as a result of technological breakthroughs in the design and development of this equipment. So, more robust testing capabilities are required, and manufacturers must constantly improve their existing equipment to suit the demands of individual applications. Manufacturers of DAQ systems must also adhere to a number of technical criteria, which drive up the price of a DAQ system.
