Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
-
Growing construction industry - It is anticipated that the building industry will increase significantly, driven by increasing infrastructure requirements, which is likely to boost the adoption of SCADA technologies that are widely used in the industry to enhance operations, save expenses, and improve service.
For instance, the global production of construction increased by around 1% in 2023. - Rapid adoption of Industry 4.0 - Supervisory control and data acquisition is essential to Industry 4.0 because it make it possible to monitor and control industrial processes in real-time, and performs increased intelligence, automation, and self-learning.
According to a survey, globally more than 90% of industrial organizations are trying to embrace Industry 4.0 by investing in digitization. - Increasing adoption of cloud-based services - Cloud computing services are being used by SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems, which store, manage, and analyze data instead of depending on local servers or computers, which is a very new and emerging cloud computing use.
Globally, more than 45% of companies kept their most crucial data on cloud storage in 2023.
Challenges
-
Involvement of significant costs - SCADA systems are not inexpensive they have substantial associated costs since the implementations typically require multiple units of specialized hardware, bespoke software, and the training of human operators for daily use.
It can be challenging and sophisticated to use SCADA systems, thus operators must have specialized knowledge, which can be costly to learn.
For SCADA systems to continue being dependable and functional, continuous maintenance is necessary, which may include certain expenditures that might vary, depending on its size and complexity. - Data privacy and security concerns - Cyberattacks can affect SCADA systems as the system is connected to networks like LAN, WAN, or the internet, which could lead to unwelcome control or manipulation of industrial processes.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Segmentation
Component (Human Machine Interface (HMI), Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), Programmable Logic Controller (PLC))
Programmable logic controller (PLC) segment is projected to hold over 45% supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) market share by the end of 2037. The segment growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of industrial automation. For instance, global productivity will increase through automation by over 8% per year. Particularly, over the next five years, more than 20% of capital expenditures made by industrial enterprises will go toward automation.
These factors have increased the adoption of a programmable logic controller (PLC), which is a digital industrial computer control system that has been ruggedized and is preprogrammed to perform automated tasks in industrial processes to provide incredibly dependable, steady, and fast applications.
Moreover, modern industrial automation requires the use of PLC and SCADA systems, as they serve as the foundation for many industrial processes, guaranteeing safety, fewer manual errors and human interventions, and remote supervision for quick, data-driven decision-making.
Application (Process Industry, Discrete Manufacturing, Utilities, Telecommunications, Chemical and Pharmaceuticals, Food and Beverage)
The utilities segment in SCADA market is assessed to generate a remarkable CAGR by the end of 2037. The major factor for the expansion of the segment is the rising investment in electricity grids. As per the International Energy Agency, around 8% more was invested in electrical grids in 2022, as both developed and developing nations stepped up their efforts to support and facilitate the electrification of buildings, industries, and transportation.
Smart grids are power grid systems that have an essential component the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, which can provide control and input for smart city systems in addition to gathering and analyzing data from smart grid components.
Offering (Hardware, Software, Services)
The software segment is projected to dominate the supervisory control and data acquisition market with tremendous revenue. This segment's growth is expected to be aided by rapid industrialization around the world. As per the statistics from the UNIDO, the industrial sectors, which include waste management, mining, manufacturing, power, water supply, and other utilities, grew 2.3% globally, indicating a post-pandemic recovery.
A software system called supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is used to monitor and manage industrial operations, which gathers data in real-time from remote places so that conditions and equipment may be controlled.
