Advanced Process Control Market

Advanced Process Control Market Overview

The advanced process control market is expected to advance with a steady CAGR of 9.31%, through the forecast period.

“Adoption of advanced process control will remain high in pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and petrochemicals, as it suits the user's needs in less time and lower cost.”

The current market is primarily swept by petrochemical, nuclear power, oil & gas industries due to safety, improvement and quality in production plants.

The constant rise in growing demand from users and adoption of best practices to improve the production and quality along with advance automation & process controls has led to significant growth in APC system. However, it comes with high initial capital and deems fit for large scale production.

What are the Key Drivers Propelling Growth of the Advanced Process Control Market?

“Process optimization and quality control are the key criteria for end-use industries to opt for advanced process control.”

Manual process and human intervention are always prone to error in some extent, and with complex industrial process, the flaw and miscalculation could be enormous, which can lead to major business loss. APC, not only reduces the fault, but also predicts the inaccuracy of product estimates.

Automation is the only technology which find place in every corner of the globe and industries are more than happy to spend huge money on it. Besides that, it reduces the dependency on manpower and addresses the shortages in workforce by providing remote process automation systems.

The market outlook looks bright, but a high-end technology which require mammoth initial capital diminishes the prospects for small scale industries. Furthermore, it requires niche technological experts for implementation and deployment for optimal results. Automation is also seen as a threat by fewer economist as it reduces the manpower at a low level.
