Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are digital computers used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. PLC systems can range from small modular units with tens of I/O to large interconnected systems with thousands of I/O that control multiple production lines. The central processing unit (CPU) of a PLC system scans inputs, makes processing/logic decisions on which outputs need to be activated based on its program, and then sets the state of its outputs in a continuous scanning cycle. This helps automate processes in several industries including food and beverage, oil & gas, power generation, manufacturing and many more.

Market Overview:
Programmable logic controllers are rugged industrial computers used for automation of industrial processes. PLCs are more reliable and flexible compared to relay logic controllers traditionally used for industrial automation. They have advantages such as ease of programming, modular design, robustness and capability for remote communications.

Market key trends:
Hardware-based automation is witnessing high demand contributing to the growth of the PLC market. Hardware components such as input/output modules, power supply modules, processor modules, and communication modules form an integral part of PLC systems. There has been increasing demand for modular PLC hardware with additional onboard ports and slots to support more I/O modules. Companies are offering PLC hardware with advanced technologies like increased processing power, high-speed communication protocols, expanded memory capabilities and integrated HMI interfaces to support complex IIoT applications. This trend towards hardware-based automation with advanced PLC hardware is expected to continue driving market growth over the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
The programmable logic controller market is segmented into components, type, industry verticals, and geography. Based on components, the market is bifurcated into hardware and software. The hardware segment dominates the market as PLCs require hardware components such as processor modules, power supplies, and input/output modules. The industry vertical segment includes oil & gas, automotive manufacturing, food & beverage, chemical & petrochemical, and pharmaceutical among others. The automotive segment is dominating the programmable logic controller market owing to the widespread adoption of PLCs in automotive manufacturing plants for manufacturing process automation.
