Global DIN Rail IPC Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global DIN Rail IPC Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

DIN Rail IPCs are industrial PCs that can be mounted on DIN rails. A DIN Rail is a common piece of mounting hardware for industrial equipment that uses a fixed-size metal bar to hang equipment off of. This is common in the industrial space. Industrial PC is defined as a computing platform developed to work in extreme environments like high-temperature fluctuation, moisture, humidity, and heavy dust. These industrial PCs are just like desktop PCs that are utilized for storage, processing, and communications, and provide a flexible interface to the personal and commercial environment. In comparison to other PCs, industrial PCs are more efficient, reliable, costly, and consume less power, as well as have a long service life.

Some organizations use DIN rail mountable computers for PC-based control systems for industrial automation and control applications. PC-based control systems replace proprietary controllers, such as PLCs because they can consolidate several systems onto a single system. The main benefit that DIN rail PCs offer is the ease of integration into existing systems, thanks to the ease of installation inside control cabinets. Furthermore, DIN-rail embedded PCs are often used to serve as communication and visualization gateways for monitoring plant operations, agriculture monitoring, vehicle tracking and management, and other applications.

Market Overview:


The latest research study on the global DIN Rail IPC market finds that the global DIN Rail IPC market reached a value of USD 528.3 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 702.11 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.85% during the forecast period.

The negative impact in the short term

The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the implementation of strict lockdown regulations in many countries/regions, resulting in the interruption of the import and export activities of DIN Rail IPCs. COVID-19 can affect the global economy in three main ways: directly affecting production and demand, causing supply chain and market disruptions, and financial impact on companies and financial markets. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the DIN Rail IPC product industry. Due to the national blockade, the supply chain of raw materials has been interrupted, putting pressure on the supply of products in the industry.

IPCs have high requirements for raw materials and core parts. The current era of globalization relies on global procurement. However, the epidemic has dealt a heavy blow to logistics and severely affected the speed of turnover. Factors such as labor shortages and increased raw material costs will increase production costs and risks. At the same time, downstream demand is also affected. Major industrial activities have been curbed, and projects such as power plant automation, facility monitoring systems, and intelligent transportation systems have also faced a temporary hold, and demand for some IPCs has been curbed. At the same time, due to the influence of the capital market, investor confidence has been frustrated, and corporate financing has become more difficult.

Region Overview:


From 2022-2027, Asia Pacific is estimated to witness robust growth prospects.

Company Overview:


Advantech is one of the major players operating in the DIN Rail IPC market, holding a share of 25.75% in 2022.

Segmentation Overview:


Among different product types, SSD segment is anticipated to contribute the largest market share in 2027.

HDD

DIN-Rail IPC devices are equipped with HDD hard drives. HDD is a mechanical hard disk drive. A mechanical hard disk is a traditional ordinary hard disk, which is mainly composed of the magnetic disk, magnetic head, disk shaft and control motor, magnetic head controller, data converter, interface, cache, and so on. An HDD is a traditional storage device that uses mechanical spinning platters and a moving read/write head to access data.

SSD

DIN Rail IPCs use SSD hard drives. A solid-state drive is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently, typically using flash memory, and functions as secondary storage in the hierarchy of computer storage. Since SSDs do not have the rotating medium of ordinary hard disks, it has excellent shock resistance and a wide operating temperature.

Application Overview:


The market's largest segment by application is the segment Process Industries, with a market share of 59.1% in 2021.

Process Industries

Process manufacturing is a production method that uses formulas or recipes to produce goods by combining ingredients or raw materials. Most often, ingredients are measured in pounds or gallons. It is commonly used in industries that produce bulk quantities of goods, such as food, beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical. Industrial PCs are primarily used for process control and/or data acquisition.

Discrete Industries

Discrete manufacturing is characterized by an individual or distinct unit production in which units can be produced in low volumes due to the high level of complexity in manufacturing them. End products are composed of component parts that can be individually counted in units and identified numerically, for example, nuts or bolts. Mainly include automobiles, electronic products, furniture, home appliances, medical equipment, and other fields. Industrial PCs are primarily used for process control and/or data acquisition.
