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.
