Industrial PC Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Increased Awareness about Resource Optimization in Manufacturing Companies – To improve productivity, increase accuracy, reduce operational costs, and achieve better quality, uniformity, or security, manufacturers are moving towards the automation of their production processes by installing intelligent personal computers. Consequently, the adoption of industrial production computers is predicted to be driven by an increasing awareness of resource optimization in manufacturing sectors.
• Growing Awareness of the Advantages of Efficient IT Infrastructure – The two most important factors when it comes to ensuring a smooth operation in any production plant are the availability of information and electronic communication. Issues related to the manufacture such as monitoring, interpretation, economic performance evaluation, self-adaptation, etc. may be addressed by top-quality IT networks and infrastructure. The growth in the market was driven by these factors. Products such as Advantech Industrial PCs are rapidly becoming popular because they allow the industrial sector to significantly increase efficiency and productivity.
• Increasing Adoption of AI – A major factor stimulating the growth of the industrial computer market is the growing use of automation in industries, as well as numerous other advanced technologies that help improve productivity and reduce interference from humans.

Challenges

• Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Concerns – The growth of this market is hindered by growing concerns about data privacy and security. The internet enables Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and most ICSs are integrated with commercially accessible software programs today, which has numerous advantages but also increases system vulnerability. Therefore, the growth of this market is likely to be hampered by increasing cybersecurity concerns between users and suppliers.
• Risks Related to the Integration of IPC
• High Costs of Advanced PCs
