Industrial Wireless Sensor Network Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type, Component, Technology (Bluetooth, Cellular Network, ISA 100.11a, Near Field Communication, Wi-Fi, WirelessHART and ZigBee), Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Industrial Wireless Sensor Network Market is accounted for $6.81 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $19.85 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period. The industrial wireless sensor network (IWSN) is a wirelessly connected network of distributed sensing platforms. IWSN uses wireless technology to transmit signals to the control room from remote locations. The system can also be remotely managed, troubleshot, and watched over. Additionally, it is primarily utilized for data processing and process control monitoring.

According to Intel's Whitepaper, wireless sensors have a reliability of more than 99%, making them ideal for automation, monitoring, and prevention.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising usage of industrial wireless sensor network

Industrial wireless sensor technology has become more prevalent as it allows businesses to remotely monitor and control a variety of parameters, such as temperature, vibration, pressure, and others, which saves time and money. Additionally, the need for low-cost industrial automation systems like industrial wireless sensor networks is growing due to the need to increase process efficiencies and meet corporate financial goals. Furthermore, their crucial contribution to the development of dependable, self-healing systems that react to real-time events with the appropriate actions is promoting the market's expansion.

Restraint:

Maintenance and deployment costs

An industrial setting can require costly and time-consuming installation and maintenance of wireless sensor networks. The price of the network infrastructure, sensors, and ongoing maintenance are all included in this. Furthermore, interoperability between various sensors and systems becomes essential as industrial processes develop and grow. Such factors are limiting market growth.

Opportunity:

Increase in demand for remote monitoring

Industrial monitoring and diagnostics are being transformed by a technology called the wireless sensor network (WSN). With the aid of this technology, monitoring stations for sensor networks can be outfitted with cheap, power-efficient WSNs. These networks are made up of battery-powered motes that can quickly assemble a network. Sensors can communicate wirelessly with one another within this network. Consumer-grade applications that could profit from the use of wireless sensor networks include remote controls, home automation, and computer peripherals.

Threat:

Privacy concerns and Security

Along with the advancement of technology that facilitates increased communication, the rate of data breaches is rapidly increasing. Data will become more crucial as the number of active connections and devices keeps growing exponentially. Due to the network platforms' recent construction, their security compliance is not very strong. As a result, it is difficult to develop analytics solutions for a variety of applications that are tailored to specific verticals, which hinders the growth of the market for wireless sensor networks.

COVID-19 Impact:

The market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Industries were temporarily shut down as a result of the pandemic's emergency lockdown, which was imposed by regional government bodies to stop the virus from spreading. Furthermore, a trade business was impacted by social norms that encourage social distance and a travel ban. This gap between demand and the supply chain and the subsequent need to halt production had a significant impact on the market. Because of the global COVID case count's gradual decline, the market is anticipated to soon resume its uptrend.

The WirelessHART segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The WirelessHART market segment is anticipated to dominate the market due to benefits like the provision of a user-friendly environment by maintaining compatibility with current tools, systems, and devices. WirelessHART makes it possible for open wireless communication to be widely used, including in applications for process measurement and monitoring. It is also widely used in industries like manufacturing, utilities, and oil and gas due to benefits like cost effectiveness and simplicity. These various elements are promoting the segment's expansion.

The oil & gas segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The oil and gas segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Due to IWSNs' excellent communication, sensing, and processing capabilities, which make them ideal for keeping track of various downstream, midstream, and upstream operations in the oil and gas industry, a further factor driving the segment's growth is the use of IWSNs, which lower maintenance and malfunctioning costs while also boosting output and reducing the likelihood of accidents.

Region with largest share:

Owing to the presence of a strong manufacturing sector, the North American regional market is estimated to dominate during the forecast period. Additionally, businesses in the area are among the first to adopt cutting-edge technologies for process improvement and raising health and safety standards. Another important factor propelling the expansion of the North American regional market is the growing use of IWSN by oil and gas companies for offshore operations.

Region with highest CAGR:

Due to the increasing adoption of smart manufacturing processes, the Asia-Pacific regional market is expected to experience the highest growth. Industrial automation technologies have been rapidly adopted in APAC nations, particularly in China and India, to streamline production processes, lower operating expenses, and boost overall effectiveness. Programs have been started by some APAC governments to encourage the creation and use of wireless sensor networks across a range of industries. As a result, market growth could be boosted by these initiatives.
