U.S. 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

U.S. Distributed Control System (DCS) Market was valued at USD 7.12 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 10.18 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 5.2% from 2023 to 2030.

The presence of major market players such as ABB, Honeywell International, Inc., Rockwell Automation Inc., and Emerson Electric Co., which are implementing market strategies to maintain their dominance globally, also contribute toward the market expansion. For instance, in December 2022, Emerson expanded its partnership with ZEDEDA, a company that offers an edge computing platform for deployment, management, and security of applications and services on distributed edge devices to modernize the industrial edge.

As part of the collaboration, ZEDEDA's edge management and orchestration solution will be integrated into Emerson's DeltaV automation system, enabling Emerson’s customers to extend DeltaV to the distributed edge.

In addition, in June 2021, ABB launched its Ability System 800xA 6.1.1, which strengthened its dominance in the DCS industry and represents an evolution for automated control and plant operations of the future. This eliminates the need for control application software or process controller hardware, allowing users to configure and test I/O in the field with a single laptop.

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.
