Industrial connectivity definition

Industrial connectivity definition

Industrial connectivity is the process of data exchange between industrial nodes, with seven key elements. These are data acquisition, DataOps, data storage, data transmission, data governance, architecture, and security.

Overview of the industrial connectivity market

According to the Industrial Connectivity Market Report 2024–2028 by IoT Analytics, the global industrial connectivity market is projected to grow from $89 billion in 2023 to $104 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 5% over the next 4 years.

As manufacturers get ready for the factory of the future, industrial connectivity is changing. Emerging shifts include widespread data availability enabled by smart nodes, streamlined data management through DataOps, and flexible architectures facilitated by edge and cloud advancements.

Industrial connectivity hardware will continue to have the dominant share of the overall industrial connectivity market but is expected to grow the slowest, with the software segments growing the fastest. Within the software segments. the industrial connectivity protocol converter software market is projected to grow at above 10% CAGR, while the smaller segment of message brokers (MQTT brokers) software is expected to grow at much faster pace. The industrial DataOps market is emerging rapidly. The DataOps software market, which consists of data quality management and data modeling, is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the next four years.

Seven key shifts are emerging with an impact on industrial connectivity

In the past In the future
Limited data availability Widespread data availability-enabled by smart nodes, protocols, converters
Rigid, siloed architectures Flexible, scalable architectures—enabled by edge and cloud advancements
Poor data management Streamlined data management—enabled by industrial DataOps practices
Slow and fragmented connectivity Fast connectivity—enabled by interoperable Ethernet-based networks
Restrictive wired connections Flexible wireless networks—enabled by wireless mediums and protocols
Basic hardware capabilities Advanced hardware—enabled by integration of powerful CPUs/GPUs
Hardware dependent computing Distributed computing—enabled by edge and software-defined hardware
