Industrial Ethernet Market Dynamics:
Driver: Increasing initiatives by governments of developing countries to promote adoption of industrial automation
The governments of developing countries worldwide are supporting the development of various industries to achieve holistic growth. This has led to an increase in the adoption of various automation and communication components and technologies for the structural development of industries. Governments are highly focused on the process and discrete industries. For instance, the Government of Singapore has partnered with various associations, such as the Singapore Food Manufacturing Association (SFMA) and the Food Innovation Resource Centre, to implement the latest automation solutions, including SCADA, PLC, DCS, robots, and cables, in the food & beverage industry.

The Government of Malaysia introduced a 200% automation capital allowance (ACA) in its 2015 budget to encourage labor-intensive manufacturing industries, such as textile, rubber, and plastics, to adopt the latest automation technologies to improve their overall productivity. Under ACA, the government writes off capital expenditure for manufacturing companies within 3 years (an initial allowance of 40% and an annual allowance of 20%).

India is one of the emerging countries with a fast-growing manufacturing sector. The formulation of the National Manufacturing Policy (NMP) by the central government has increased the development of its manufacturing sector. The government has also launched the Make in India policy to encourage companies to implement automation processes in their manufacturing plants. Thus, the measures taken by the governments to support the adoption of industrial control and factory automation are expected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Restraint: Absence of standardization in industrial communication protocols and interfaces
Industrial equipment or devices communicate through various interfaces, technologies, and protocols. The absence of standardization in these communication interfaces and protocols might result in the misrepresentation of data. It also can complicate the integration of systems and hinder the use of plug-and-play features for unrelated systems. This is one of the major restraints for the industrial ethernet market in coming years.

Opportunity: Emergence of 5G to create lucrative opportunities for market players
Industrial communication is a vital element of Industry 4.0. The demand for 5G technology is growing in the manufacturing industry, as 5G helps to overcome the shortcomings of other wireless systems. With the onset of 5G technology, the manufacturing industry will experience a major transformation. With the increasing demand of 5G the demand for industrial ethernet will also increase.

Challenge: Harsh field site conditions-high-voltage transients, severe shocks and vibrations, and extremely high temperatures
Industrial Ethernet devices are deployed in remote field locations which are prone to the effects of unfavorable and harsh conditions, such as high-voltage transients, shocks and vibrations, and extremely high temperatures. High voltage transients result from electrostatic discharge (ESD), bursts, electrical fast transients (EFT), and lightning strikes. These are a few challenges faced in industrial ethernet technology deployment. Therefore, there is a requirement for robust industrial communication equipment to withstand harsh conditions.
