Real-time detection and minimization of flaws in machinery due to use of SCADA is expected
to aid in growth of the market
Supervisory control and data acquisition is gaining popularity, owing to its feature that helps to
detect fault in machinery promptly and minimize the defects. Moreover, it also helps in
distribution of power by re-routing the power from excess capacity areas to regions where there
is power shortage or need. Also the cost effectiveness of these system is fueling demand for
SCADA among users. Furthermore, supervisory control and data acquisition enables real-time
data monitoring from remote location thereby, reducing manpower and human errors.
Increasing adoption of cloud-based supervisory control and data acquisition system is
expected to aid in growth of the market
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is installed in order to monitor and control
transmitters and sensors that have been set up in industrial facility. An operator controls the
machinery with the help of human machine interface. The integration of supervisory control
and data acquisition system with cloud computing technology enables operators to control
application via internet remotely. Furthermore, numerous benefits offered by cloud –based
SCADA systems such as ease to retrieve file & uploading, upgrading through cloud, scalability,
and others is fueling adoption of cloud-based supervisory control and data acquisition system.
Infrastructural Development in terms of smart cities and transportation is driving the market
growth
Urban infrastructure includes water supply, traffic control, electricity grid, and others that relies
on supervisory control and data acquisition systems where it controls function and flows.
Increasing infrastructural development such as smart cities, smart transportation in emerging
economies such as China, India, and Brazil is expected to create a conducive environment for
growth of supervisory control and data acquisition systems market. For instance, In
2016,government of India initiated 100 Smart Cities Mission, through which it is expected to
invest over US$ 15 billion in order to build efficient and effective city management solution and
infrastructure by 2020. Hence, increasing infrastructural development is majorly fueling growth
of supervisory control and data acquisition market.
Increasing use of Big Data Analytics across various industry verticals is driving the market
