Market Definition
China Distributed Control System (DCS) Market was valued at USD 2.28 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 3.51 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.2% from 2024 to 2030. A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a computer-based control system widely employed to oversee and automate industrial processes. It comprises a network of controllers distributed throughout industrial facilities, facilitating communication and coordination in the automation of various processes. DCS systems find applications across diverse industries, including but not limited to the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and power generation sectors.
These systems are particularly valuable in large-scale industrial processes demanding a high level of automation and control, such as those in oil refineries, chemical plants, and power stations. They serve to regulate and oversee a range of operations, including drilling, refining, blending, manufacturing, filtration, and disinfection, ensuring processes run with precision, efficiency, and safety.
The utilization of DCS systems offers numerous advantages, including enhanced process control, heightened efficiency, and improved safety, along with reduced downtime. DCS achieves this by distributing control functions across multiple controllers, providing redundancy and fault tolerance. This means that even in the event of a controller failure, industrial processes can continue to operate without disruptions.
DCS systems have evolved into indispensable components of modern industrial automation setups, substantially enhancing the reliability and efficiency of industrial processes. Furthermore, they contribute to safety by enabling real-time control and process monitoring. They are capable of detecting potential safety hazards and promptly alerting operators to take corrective measures. DCS systems are also instrumental in predictive maintenance, facilitating proactive maintenance practices that minimize downtime. They collect and analyse data from sensors, offering valuable insights for continuous process improvement.
Energizing DCS Market in China: Government Initiatives and Industrial Automation
The market for DCS is driven by several factors that include government initiatives, and automation in industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, power generation, and chemicals. The Chinese government has launched several initiatives to promote the adoption of DCS in various industries. For instance, the "Made in China 2025" initiative aims to enhance the upgradation of the country's current manufacturing industry with advanced technologies that include DCS.
Nuclear Power Expansion Fuels DCS Demand for Advanced Plant Control in China
The majority of the nation's nuclear power facilities are under construction, which create opportunity for DCS to monitor and manage different plant operations and machinery, including reactor control, turbine control, and safety systems. For instance, Foro Nuclear, a non-profit organization that promotes the peaceful use of nuclear energy and supports the development of nuclear technology, has reported that China is the biggest manufacturer of reactors worldwide. There are currently 53 operational units and 16 more reactors under construction, which in turn boosts the growth of the DCS market.
The Risk Associated with Cybercrimes Hampers the Market Growth in China.
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.
Modular and Flexible DCS Systems: Unlocking Opportunities for Enhanced Automation
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.
