MARKET DRIVERS

Due to the rising adoption of automation and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in sectors, the industrial PC industry has seen tremendous development.

Industrial PCs assist in providing a platform for running automation software for real-time monitoring and control of processes. Many businesses and startups are working on IoT technology adoption. For instance, in June 2019, Indian IoT startup Switch On raised $1 million in seed funding from Pi Ventures. In April 2019, Altizon Systems Pvt. Ltd had raised $7 million in a succession of funding rounds.

TVS Motor Company Ltd. provided finance. Manufacturing firms are concentrating their efforts on boosting their production capacity in order to lower costs and increase their competitive position by improving production efficiency through the use of industrial automation.

PC, thereby driving the market. It is vital to maximize resources and decrease waste in businesses such as metals and mining, oil and gas, and others whose profit margins are comparatively smaller than in industries such as automotive and food and drinks, among others. This is a problem in the manufacturing process that results in significant losses, forcing producers to replace the defective product with a new one. As a result, manufacturing businesses are increasingly focusing on the use of industrial PCs to automate their manufacturing processes and boost efficiency. These PCs also help businesses improve accuracy and reduce operating expenses, resulting in higher quality, uniformity, and safety. As a result, the market for industrial PCs is expected to grow in response to rising demand for energy-efficient manufacturing operations.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Industrial PCs are used in factories as part of the automation process. The adoption of automation machines can be one of the most cost-intensive processes for an industry. It involves millions of dollars. In addition to the upfront expenditures, there are a number of unforeseeable charges that may outweigh the actual cost savings from implementing automation in the organization. Some of these expenses include research and development costs for automating a process, as well as preventative maintenance and repairs. Furthermore, the cost of training associated with the use of industrial PCs limits market growth. The majority of industrial PCs also take up more space, which is a huge issue for small businesses.
