The global distributed control systems market was valued at US$ 17.99 Bn in 2020 and is expected to register strong growth, expanding at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

"Asia Pacific to remain largest Distributed Control Systems (DCS) market by 2033"

Asia Pacific represented the largest distributed control systems market worldwide in 2020 and presumed to retain its leading position throughout the forecast period 2025 – 2033. The dominance and anticipated growth in the region is majorly on the back of heightened investments made in augmenting the oil & gas production and refining capacities. China remains the engine of growth, contributing well over one-third of the regions’ market value. In a bid to minimize its dependence on coal-fired power generation, China is expanding its wind, solar, and nuclear power generation capacities, which, in turn is driving demand for distributed control systems. In developed countries with strong installed base, the need for the aftermarket portfolio and value-added services including system upgrades, consulting, and optimization of lifecycle costs has surged over the last few years. The trend shall prolong during the forecast period.

"Value Contribution from Power & Energy Sector to be Highest throughout the Forecast Period"

The adoption of distributed control systems was highest in power & energy and oil & gas segments in the base year 2020. The value contribution from these segments collectively stood at over 48.0% in the same year. Increased automation in a bid to achieve power quality, plant efficiency and limit dependency on conventional fossil fuels has highlighted the importance of the power industry, thereby paving the way for the increased adoption of distributed control systems in the industry worldwide. The trend is expected to protract, driving demand for DCS solutions & services in the power & energy sector during the forecast period.
