Segmentation Analysis

The global SCADA market is sectored into components, offerings, end-user, and regions.

In terms of components, the global SCADA market is sectored into process industries, utilities, and discrete manufacturing segments. Furthermore, the remote terminal unit segment, which contributed to the largest share of the global market in 2022, is set to hold its segmental dominance in the forecast timespan. The segmental growth in the ensuing eight years can be a result of remote terminal units being key components of SCADA tools.

Apart from this, remote terminal units are used for gathering data, coding it into a transmittable format, and transferring it to the key system. Reportedly, deep sea exploration and extraction activities along with the need for shale gas exploration owing to the huge demand for oil & gas from emerging as well as underdeveloped economies will pave a way for the huge demand for remote terminal units.

Based on end-user, the SCADA industry across the globe is divided into utilities, process industries, and discrete manufacturing segments. Moreover, the process industries segment, which garnered nearly 50% of the global industry share in 2022, is projected to dominate the global industry expansion even in the forecasting timeline. The growth of the segment in the ensuing years can be due to growing competition among the manufacturing units for reducing manufacturing costs and processes. Moreover, the huge demand for SCADA in process industries can be attributed to a surge in the need for real-time visibility in the oil & gas, metal & mining, and food & beverages industries.

On the basis of offering, the global SCADA market is divided into services, hardware, and software & industrial segments. Moreover, the services segment, which accounted for a major share of nearly 60% of the global market in 2022, is predicted to register the highest CAGR in the ensuing years. The segmental expansion over the forecast timeline can be subject to the massive demand for services such as cybersecurity during the customization of SCADA systems.
