Time-sensitive Networking Market Drivers

Increasing demand of multiple controller applications enhances the adoption Time-sensitive Networking solutions

Traditional fieldbuses are not designed to support multiple controllers communicating applications in a deterministic manner and these generally try to use fieldbuses or reflective memory, which can be technically be difficult, time-talking and expensive. However, Time-sensitive networking enabled Ethernet is more flexible and are designed to support controller-to-controller communications. The demand for automation controllers that can simultaneously process various workloads, such as video stream and control traffic, is increasing across the globe in automation sector. This enables implementing deep learning capabilities in one machine, which will simultaneously communicate with other controllers in the factory’s network in a timely manner. For instance, B&R Industrial Automation GmbH introduced Hypervisor Software equipped with both Controller and PC in one device. In this, the interfaces are already equipped with the TSN Ethernet extension, making them optimally prepared for the OPC UA over TSN communication standard. Many end-use industries face both time synchronization issues and timeline-related challenges with industrial applications such as robotic arms and motion controllers. These propels the demand of TSN solutions across these industries, further driving its market growth during the forecast period.

Increasing adoption of TSN solutions for in-vehicle communication system is contributing towards its market growth

With the advancement in technology at automotive sector, advanced sensors solutions are increasingly being deployed in autonomous vehicles to receive real-time feedback on the driving experience and ensure passenger and vehicle safety. These sensors use controller area network (CAN) and local interconnect network (LIN) industrial bus systems to communicate with other vehicle systems such as global positioning systems (GPS), advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and emergency braking systems. However, these industrial buses offer low-speed communication. It poses a key challenge for the buses to scale up the bandwidth for high-speed data transmission. To overcome this issue, Ethernet TSN can be better substitute for these requirements. This has helped to scale up data transmission bandwidth and provides reliable and real-time communication for time-critical needs for autonomous vehicles which tend to enhance the TSN Market growth during the forecast period. According to OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), there has been growth in the automotive production by 16.9% in 2021, elevating from 18,036,164 units in 2020 to 21,084,417 units in 2021 in their 1^st quarter. For instance, Tuxera a leading manufacturer of quality-assured embedded file systems, flash management and networking software solution announced that autonomous cars generate more than 300 TB of data per year. This huge increase of data production through autonomous vehicles further uplifts the demand of high-bandwidth and reliable communication network for real-time delivery of time-sensitive sensor information in the car and over 5G mobile networks to central control systems. Hence, autonomous vehicle manufacturers are focusing on deploying Ethernet TSN in their vehicles, which enables safety measures, the easy transmission of high-volume data, and strong network connectivity, thereby creating a huge driving factor for the growth of the TSN market in global market.

Time-sensitive Networking Market Challenges

Disruption of Network security is analysed to hamper the Time-sensitive Networking Market growth

Time-sensitive Networking utilizes time-division multiple access (TDMA) to split time into repeating cycles. Time slots in these cycles are then reserved for high-priority data streams, which need to be protected from other network transmissions. Such reservations happen for all network participants along the transmission path. These are carried out by Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP) and these reservations creates a virtual circuit between two or more end devices through the TSN network. Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are a widely used tool to impede the operation of these networks. The DoS can be achieved by flooding the network with large volumes of data, thereby overloading it to the point where it can no longer perform its function efficiently. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) synchronization protocol and the TDMA mechanism are the new attack vectors which are harming the TSN network, so DoS target and deliberately overload a single reserved time slot to impact a specific mission-critical communication stream. These awful means are used to threaten industries and gain monetary benefits or critical business information. These tend to bring major challenges in the Time-sensitive Networking Market growth during the forecast period.
