Rising demand for rapid industrialization especially in developing countries such as China, India and Russia coupled with increasing evolution of IIoT as well as increased monitoring and communications among machines are some of the key factors driving the global operational technology market. Moreover, rising demand for smart solutions for automation is one other key aspect fueling the growth of the global operational technology market. In addition, rapid development majorly in the automation ecosystem by conventional and organic growth strategies including acquisitions, mergers, partnerships and collaborations along with increase in demand for urbanization in emerging markets are some other major elements driving the growth of the overall market. The fastened and hastening adoption of internet of things has further increased the deployment of smart and connected devices in several process industries. Hence, the overall demand for automation is anticipated to continue to bolster the market for operational technology control systems including supervisory control, DCS, data acquisition systems, as well as programmable logic controllers. The growing demand for digital transformation has further increased the demands for control systems. Moreover, IIoT is bringing an urge in several industries to automate their production plants and their overall production processes to gain a competitive advantage over other peers. Furthermore, predictive maintenance software is designed in such a way that it helps in controlling the conditions of service equipment for the efficient prediction of proper appropriate time at which the machines needs time to time maintenance. This process assures optimization of costs over time based and routine preventive maintenance.

Some of the major factors fueling the growth of the operational technology market are rising developments in the strategies implemented by key players operating in the automation ecosystem. Moreover, increase in demand for urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies coupled with evolution of IIoT with the increased monitoring and communication of machines. However, the major hampering factor in the growth of the global operational technology market are lack of efficient government initiatives and supply chain disruptions among others. The rising demand for digital transformation has bolstered the demands for automation control systems.
