PLC Integrated HMI Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

The Asia Pacific market for the PLC Integrated HMIs is forecast to witness high rate of adaptation compared to other regions. The presence of a large number of developing markets in the APAC is one of the key factors driving the growth of the touch screen HMI Market. China, India and South-East Asian countries are speculated to make huge investments in the automation sector by 2022 to equip their manufacturing and industrial plants with automated solutions to improvise the production process and achieve set targets. Japan being one of the technologically advanced nations is a significant market for touch screen HMIs and is currently using these devices across all sorts of industry verticals at a higher scale. Australia and New Zealand are the mature markets but the PLC Integrated HMIs shipments are projected to surge as the countries are shifting towards more automated and advanced military equipment.

PLC Integrated HMI Market Drivers

Rising Wearable and Portable PLC Integrated HMI

The human-machine interface of the future will get even more interactive. The growing popularity of wearable devices in the consumer market which are exhibiting a growth of over 16% will also be reflected in the manufacturing sector. This is also due to the government regulations driving industrial automation such as Italy’s National Industry 4.0 Plan, Germany’s I40 strategy and Japan’s Connected Industries Plan which mention arable devices among the technologies subject to hyper-depreciation. For example, operators will likely wear bracelets that alert them of alarms with a specific code so that they can intervene in a timely manner. The increased adoption of these solutions will drive the demand for HMI market.

PLC Integrated HMI in Interactive Robots

The growing digitized world is the major factor attributing global industry growth to the 4.0 market. Industry 4.0 innovations such as IoT and smartphone voice assistants provide good shopping experience for customers. Another factor that fuels market growth is the manufacture of robots using Industry 4.0. Robots made using I4.0 will interact and work safely beside humans without causing any harm to them. These robots work more effectively than humans, and are available on the market at low cost.  The deployment of Interactive Robots and Cobots will propel adoption of HMI in this new avenue which will propel market growth.

PLC Integrated HMI Market Challenges

Lack of Security

The missing growth factor for the industry 4.0 market is security. According to the 2018 IBM-X Force Threat Intelligence Index, manufacturing is the second-largest targeted industry for attacks. Due to less security, industry 4.0 technologies are allowing hackers to attack the manufacturer’s data and also infecting new systems to detention and vend confidential information. Thus, the utilization of industrial PCs and other data utilization devices are witnessing increased scrutiny which will hinder HMI market.
