SCADA stands for supervisory control and data acquisition, serving as a system software program to manage industrial processes by acquiring real-time data from remote locations to regulate equipment and conditions. It provides industrial organizations with tools to make data-driven decisions about their processes.
The primary offerings of SCADA are hardware, software, and services. Hardware includes computer components such as programmable logic controllers (PLC), remote terminal units (RTU), human-machine interfaces (HMI), and communication systems, deployed on-premise and in the cloud. Applications span across chemical and pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, manufacturing, oil and gas, transportation, utility, water, and sewage.

This SCADA market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The scada market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.45 billion in 2024 to $13.22 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial automation needs, critical infrastructure monitoring, efficiency and productivity gains, regulatory compliance requirements, enhanced operational visibility.
The scada market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with IoT and big data analytics, focus on cybersecurity measures, renewable energy expansion, smart city initiatives, remote monitoring and control demands. Major trends in the forecast period include mobile SCADA applications, emphasis on open standards, renewable energy integration, remote monitoring and control, water and wastewater management.
The SCADA market is poised for growth due to the expansion of the oil and gas sector. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) software plays a crucial role in monitoring and controlling pipelines, measuring remote gas well production, and optimizing asset performance. The World Oil Outlook report by OPEC projects a 23% increase in global primary energy demand by 2045, with rising oil consumption and refining capacity. The growth of the oil and gas sector is expected to drive the demand for SCADA systems.
The growing trend of industrial automation is anticipated to drive the expansion of the SCADA market. Industrial automation involves utilizing control systems such as computers or robots to manage various processes and machinery in industries, thereby reducing the need for human intervention. The increase in industrial automation leads to a heightened demand for SCADA systems, which facilitate seamless integration, real-time data management, and improved operational efficiency in automated processes. For example, in September 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based professional non-profit organization, reported that there are 4,281,585 operational units in factories worldwide as of 2024, marking a 10% rise. Annual installations have exceeded half a million units for the third consecutive year, with 70% of newly deployed robots in 2023 installed in Asia, 17% in Europe, and 10% in the Americas. Thus, the increasing industrial automation is expected to boost demand for the SCADA market.
Product innovations have emerged as a significant trend gaining traction in the SCADA market. Leading companies in the SCADA sector are prioritizing product innovations to enhance their market presence. For example, in October 2022, Emerson Electric Co., a US-based manufacturer and provider of engineering services and products for various markets, introduced an advanced automation platform called Movicon.NExT 4.2. This platform features a user-friendly interface that connects to any field device, control system, or enterprise system, delivering users and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) the data and insights necessary for achieving operational excellence. It is fast, secure, and efficient, offering superior performance, rapid application development, and improved connectivity.
Leading companies in the SCADA market are concentrating on developing new technologies to enhance their market position. For instance, in September 2022, OnLogic, a US-based global manufacturer of industrial computers, launched a new device for collecting, processing, and displaying industrial automation data. The IGN800, powered by Raspberry Pi, is an Edge Gateway that is certified for and comes pre-loaded with Ignition Edge software from SCADA experts, Inductive Automation. The IGN800 serves as an industrial IoT gateway powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 and pre-imaged with Ignition Edge software. It is designed for SCADA deployments that require high reliability and connectivity options. The integration of Ignition Edge software allows users to unify disparate systems and devices into a single platform, providing a robust HMI, SCADA, MES, and IIoT software solution.
In June 2022, Siemens AG, a Germany-based industrial manufacturing company, acquired Senseye, a UK-based provider of cloud software for predictive maintenance, for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Siemens aims to broaden its offerings in predictive maintenance, asset information, and digital business services. Senseye's expertise in automatically projecting machine failure without manual analysis will contribute to Siemens' capabilities in avoiding downtime and saving costs.
