Australia Distributed Control System Market by Component (Hardware, Software, and Services) Application (Batch and Continuous Process), by Project Type, (New Construction, Replacement, and Upgrade/Expansion), by End User (Oil & Gas, Chemicals & Refining, Energy & Power, Pulp & Paper, Metals & Mining, Pharmaceutical & Biotech, Food & Beverages, Cement & Glass, Water & Wastewater, and Others) – Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2030

Australia Distributed Control System (DCS) Market was valued at USD 348.76 million in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 549.68 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.6% from 2024 to 2030.

The adoption rate of Distributed Control System (DCS) technology in Australia is on the rise, driven in part by the increasing efforts of businesses to introduce new products to the market. As companies strive to innovate and remain competitive, DCS technology proves essential in streamlining production processes, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring the successful launch of new products.

By providing advanced control and automation solutions, DCS plays a crucial role in helping businesses meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market and maintain a competitive edge in their respective industries.

For instance, in November 2022, Yokogawa Electric Corporation announced that its subsidiary, Yokogawa Australia has been selected by Technip Energies to provide the integrated control system for the initial phase of the YURI Green Hydrogen Project. It will construct the largest of its kind industrial-scale renewable hydrogen production facilities in Australia.

However, DCS systems are inclined to cyberattacks as they are networked and computerized. Cybercriminals can gain unauthorized access to DCS systems, compromise sensitive data, and disrupt critical infrastructure, causing significant financial losses and reputational damage. The consequences of a successful cyber-attack on a DCS system can be severe, especially in industries such as power generation, oil & gas, and chemical processing, where disruptions can have significant environmental and public safety implications.

On the other hand, the introduction of modular and flexible DCS systems can create ample growth opportunities for DCS market. Traditionally, DCS systems have been highly centralized and monolithic, with large-scale installations that are expensive and complex to install and maintain.

However, introduction of modular and flexible DCS systems is changing this paradigm. Modular systems are designed to be more flexible and scalable, with a modular architecture that allows easy integration with other systems and components. This makes it easier to customize DCS systems to meet specific needs of individual organizations, without the need for costly and time-consuming customization.

These systems can help to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality, which is expected to propel demand for DCS systems across a range of industries, including manufacturing, energy, and process industries.

ABB’s modular-enabled process automation solution that combines an orchestration layer is one of the major examples of modular and flexible DCS system. It also consists of a module layer integrated with module type packages (MTPs) technology for cost-effective modularization. This solution is designed to provide end-users such as mining, pharmaceuticals, and biotech with an automation solution that can fit their applications better than Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and costs less than a traditional DCS.
