Ethernet Powerlink Market Segment Analysis - By Offering Types
The Hardware segment is analyzed to register the highest share of 54% in 2020, owing to the growing penetration of IIoT among manufacturing hubs worldwide. Some other industry verticals such as oil & gas, utility, chemical and food & beverage are also expeditiously implementing Powerlink due to increasing demand for the high-speed production. Among Ethernet powerlink hardware offerings, the Gateway defines the latest in Industry 4.0 due to promising features that makes it easy to connect to IoT without any automation logic intervention. The aim of IoT Gateway and other data link layers is providing unison among companies through the strategic goal of networking among all associated machines and systems.
In November 2019, Bosch Rexroth launched IoT
Gateway V2 to support users with seamless connectivity, with an adjustable and
scalable concept for one or more machines for increasing productivity.
Moreover, the continuous rise in adoption of PoE- based products for powering
networks in a secure and energy-efficient way drives the growth of the market. In November 2020, the Ethernet Alliance launched Gen 2 Power over
Ethernet (PoE) Certification Program, regarding the rising demand across
industry for interoperable PoE (Power over Ethernet) products as well as
solutions.
Ethernet Powerlink Market Segment Analysis - By End-Use Industry
The growth of the manufacturing market is being propelled by the increasing demand for high speed M2M communication. Owing to the trends such as connected factory, digital twin, robotics and manufacturing analytics, which demand high speed data communication, are some of the major factors driving the Ethernet powerlink market. To aim increasing demands of the fourth industrial revolution era, in July 2020, Doosan Robotics Inc. launched six new Cobots, also called collaborative robots to drive the momentum of the smart factory industry. The logistic & transportation Ethernet powerlink market are set to witness the significant growth rate of CAGR 8.2% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, astounding demand for home-delivery in E-commerce sector increased remarkably. The giant E-commerce companies reevaluate automation technology pertinent to warehouse management in batches and package stations, which is also one of the major factors driving the growth of the market.
In
August 2020, Attabotics, inspired by ant colonies, announced a hefty investment
of $50 million to accelerate a supply chain solution that will transform
“traditional warehouse into a single, vertical storage structure”. This will transform
traditional storehouses into single and vertical storage structures, and will
include implementation of high-speed warehouse robotics solutions, thereby
driving the market of Ethernet powerlink.
Ethernet Powerlink Market Segment Analysis - By Geography
North
America dominated the Ethernet POWERLINK Market in 2020 with a share of 34%,
followed by Europe in the same year.
The early adoption of employing Powerlink and shift towards high-speed
industrial automation systems across various industry verticals has accelerated
the growth of Ethernet
Powerlink Market in the region. In March 2019, Ideal Networks launched NaviTEK IE, a
purpose-built handheld network testing equipment to prevent any troubleshooting
of standard Ethernet IP networks. In industrial Ethernet networks, NaviTEK IE
simplifies the testing process both cabling and networks, as preventative
maintenance is the key to keep operations running efficiently in Industrial
Ethernet applications, and thus, drive the market in a competitive across
logistics, service and manufacturing.
Ethernet Powerlink Market Drivers
Increasing penetration of automation
In plant
based industry, automation integrates industrial machinery to perform tasks
automatically and thus, reduce production cost, part cycle time and enhance
quality and reliability. The focus of Automation has transformed from IT
operations to business processes, and thus, rapid funding by big venture
capitalist enterprises is initiated to remain productive and competitive. In
October 2019, Automation Anywhere launched AI-Powered RPA-as-a-Service Platform
that offers cloud-native platform solutions, ease of use and built-in AI
capabilities to support automation processes much faster and cost-efficiently.
Evolution of Cobots accelerates manufacturing operation
Cobots
are becoming collaborative, and coupled with other technologies of industry
4.0, Cobots offer high-volume operations at reduced direct labor costs. In
December 2019, FANUC launched the first lightweight cobot to manage global
skills shortages. All the six models of FANUC’s ‘green’ CR series of
collaborative robots are designed to be used as an industrial robot.
Technologies such as Power over Ethernet and other data link layer technology.
Ethernet Powerlink Market Challenges
Severe security vulnerabilities among networking technology
Security breaches are common in most of the industrial networks and rapid deployments of industrial Ethernet nodes are also accelerating the risk sensitive data theft. The cyber threats among manufacturing plants are ever-growing due to sudden attack threats to halt manufacturing operation. In June 2020, Honda, Japanese car manufacturer suffered a ransomware attack that disrupted its entire factory operation and global operations.
Ethernet Powerlink Market Landscape
