According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Remote Monitoring and Control Market is accounted for $12.35 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $18.03 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Remote monitoring and control (RM&C) is a method for remotely managing or supervising a system or process. In order to prevent unanticipated downtime and equipment breakdowns, remote monitoring is crucial in predictive maintenance techniques. Through effective control and monitoring, it helps to increase productivity at the workplace. It enables it to be less complicated to facilitate, manage, and monitor operations in the water and wastewater, oil and gas, chemical, and power generating industries.
According to the reports by Intergovernmental Affairs, in December 2021, the Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure, and Communities Ministers of Canada and British Columbia announced more than USD 19.2 million in joint funding for four projects in British Columbia to support drinking water and wastewater infrastructure and to upgrade the existing wastewater treatment facilities
A SCADA system is an automation infrastructure that enables a remote operator to control production processes, and real-time data is nimbly gathered to guarantee optimal operations. Reports may be conducted in real time using SCADA systems to acquire recent and historical data and forecast future occurrences. It allows for daily visual process monitoring and notifies the operator of any emergencies in any area of the plant. It is capable of managing the challenging environment found in processing plants, the majority of which are offshore. The market expansion is being further accelerated by these factors.
When building a sensor-based network to monitor and manage critical infrastructures, cyber attacks are a major concern. SCADA is susceptible to cyberattacks because it is a network of sensors, computers, communication systems, and storage systems. A community, an economy, and an organization may all be impacted by the system's failure. Disasters like the collapse of the electrical system or the release of oil or sewage in the wrong places can have long-term effects and may also cause collateral damage. The market demand is being hampered by these hacks.
In many industrial applications, it is essential to measure numerous parameters in the field, including temperature, pressure, humidity, level and flow. Many operations also need for a monitored or regulated environment. Remote stations track the digital and analog signals that field sensors produce. To enable the manipulation of processes at remote locations, these instruments are connected to the controlled or monitored equipment connected to the remote station. Additionally, it is employed to gather data from equipment and transmit it to the main SCADA system.
A remote monitoring and control system consists of sensors, RTUs, PLCs, and HMIs as well as the software that controls them. With the use of real-time data acquired and process control applications offered by a SCADA system, systems in a plant may be operated and maintained from distant locations. The initial capital expenditures and ongoing maintenance expenses for these systems are relatively significant. Moreover, more users could result in higher hardware expenditures which is hindering the market demand.
The COVID-19 epidemic has raised concerns about the effectiveness, productivity, and safety of industrial procedures due to the limitations imposed by the government. It prompted businesses to come up with novel ways to survive in trying times, which assists in improving process efficiency and getting better control over production processes through the usage of remote monitoring and control systems.
The field instruments segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to its widespread application in a variety of end user industries. Field instruments are used to keep an eye on elements including pressure, flow rate, temperature and level that are essential to plant operations. It functions often in the most challenging conditions and integrates sensors, actuators, sophisticated signal processing, and reliable communications. Remote stations track the digital and analog signals that field sensors produce. It provides a consolidated picture of data that aids in monitoring and controlling the industrial process.
The water & wastewater segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to expanding wastewater treatment facilities. Governments all across the world are making significant investments in water and wastewater treatment, reorganizing current water systems, and upgrading the infrastructure for rural drinking water. Data from all plant regions and systems, including distant SCADA systems, are integrated through remote monitoring and control. With these technologies, plant managers are better able to adapt to changing circumstances and increase plant uptime and safety.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the significant investments made in the wastewater management, power generating, and chemical sectors. The region's growing industrialization, particularly in developing nations like China, India, and Japan, as well as these industries' tendency to automate processes to save energy and boost productivity through the use of sophisticated monitoring and control systems.
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. This region has facing rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases. Chronic disease prevalence has been on the rise in this region. Remote monitoring services that are SaaS-based are becoming steadily more popular. Additionally, the need for wireless and portable systems as well as the availability of complex reimbursement schemes intended to lower out-of-pocket costs is fueling the market's expansion in this area.
Some of the key players profiled in the Remote Monitoring and Control Market include Emerson Electric Co., Siemens, Honeywell International Inc., Yokogawa Electric Corporation, Schneider Electric SE, Rockwell Automation Inc, General Electric Co., Fuji Electric Co., Ltd, ABB Ltd, Hitachi Ltd, Johnson Controls, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, OMRON Corporation, VEGA Grieshaber KG, WIKA Alexander Wiegand SE & Co, Brooks Instrument and Danfoss A/S.
In May 2023, Honeywell has unveiled VersaWave, a new small satcom system with 5G, for the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) industry. VersaWave combines satcom, cellular (i.e., 5G, 4G, 3G), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity in an extremely small, lightweight package. These new connectivity features enable beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) communication for the AAM and UAS industry in a very small and light package in its performance class.
In February 2023, Emerson has combined its comprehensive power expertise and renewable energy capabilities into the Ovation™ Green portfolio to help power generation companies meet the needs of customers navigating the transition to green energy generation and storage. The resulting portfolio focuses on the emerging clean energy market to provide simplified renewable automation to help power producers build and scale sustainable operations.
In December 2021, Yokogawa Electric Corporation released OpreX Managed Service - Cloud edition, solution that supports remote monitoring and maintenance of OT/IT field assets using a cloud platform provided by Yokogawa. The solution functions by visualizing information on each device's performance, reliability, and security for the entire plant system.
