The growing trend towards the use of renewable energy sources & growing Industry 4.0 initiatives are driving up demand for the Japan Distributed Control System (DCS) market during the forecast period.

Japan Distributed Control System (DCS) Market was valued at USD 607.82 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 1011.4 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 5.6% from 2023 to 2030, according to new research by Next Move Strategy Consulting. Japan is witnessing an increasing inclination toward the utilization of renewable energy sources, with a notable emphasis on solar power. The effective management of power output fluctuations in solar energy production necessitates the implementation of advanced control systems. Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are valuable tools for addressing this challenge, as they enable real-time monitoring and control of the power generation process, ensuring stability and efficiency.

For instance, in February 2023, TotalEnergies started the commercial operation of a 51-megawatt (MW) solar power plant located in Tsu, Mie Prefecture, Japan. The plant, which is connected to the electricity distribution grid, aims to supply its electricity to Chubu Electric Power Miraiz Co. Inc., a subsidiary of the regional utility company, through a power purchase agreement over a 17-year period.

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. Furthermore, 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.
