The global electric control panel market has been witnessing significant growth in recent years. An electric control panel is a cabinet where controls for machines and processes are mounted. It houses all components required for controlling, protecting and monitoring industrial machinery and equipment. Control panels are customized as per the requirements of a particular industry or manufacturing process. Rising automation and digital transformation across industries has fueled demand for intelligent electric control panels with remote monitoring capabilities. Advancements in control systems, connectivity solutions and networking technologies have enabled development of more sophisticated control panels. Going forward, the market is expected to grow further driven by increasing focus on industrial automation, especially in the manufacturing sector.
Market Dynamics:
Global electric control panel market is driven by rapid industrialization and growing automation across industries. Increasing investments in manufacturing facilities and adoption of advanced machinery have propelled installations of electric control panels. Several industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, food & beverages, power, and automotive are increasingly automating their operations, thus augmenting market revenues. Additionally, development of smart factories and implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts have increased deployment of digital and networked control systems. This presents lucrative opportunities for vendors. However, high initial costs associated with electric control panels hampers their widespread adoption, especially in price-sensitive markets. Infrastructural challenges and lack of technical expertise in some regions like North America and Europe also restrain market growth. Nonetheless, emergence of internet of things (IoT) and cloud-based solutions is expected to present new growth avenues for market players.
