Machine condition monitoring: Key market research findings
- Shift towards predictive maintenance drives market growth
- Americas dominates the market geographically
- Key vendors – Emerson Electric, GE, Honeywell, National Instruments, and Rockwell Automation
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global machine condition monitoring market to grow at a CAGR of around 4% between 2016 and 2020. The machine condition monitoring market is driven by the transition from preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance among end-users. Real-time data collection and analysis, preferably by online detection are some of the key advantages brought about by predictive maintenance. During 2015, the Americas accounted for over 38% of the overall market share owing to replacement in existing power plants and the increasing demand for electricity.
The new market research report from Technavio presents a breakdown and analysis of the machine condition monitoring segments based on end-users.
“The latest trend in the market is condition monitoring using cloud technology. The cloud-enabled software allows end-users an interactive platform with multiple options and constant real-time input of a wide range of measurements about machine and equipment condition. This information is then consolidated into meaningful information for early warnings, which facilitates better decision making,” says Bharath Kanniappan, Lead Analyst, Industrial Automation, Technavio Research.
During 2015, the oil and gas industry dominated the global machine condition monitoring market by occupying almost 20% of the total market share. The increasing demand for heating systems in the US, Mexico, Germany, the UK, France, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, the Middle East, Egypt, and Nigeria is expected to drive growth in this segment of the market in the coming years. Furthermore, factors like new power plant investments, aging power plant infrastructure requiring retrofits, legislative policies governing carbon emissions, and the shift to renewable energy are spurring investments in the machine condition monitoring market for the oil and gas industry.
The key vendors in the market include Emerson Electric, GE, Honeywell, National Instruments, and Rockwell Automation. Vendors compete on the basis of product features, price, customized solutions, and services offered. Machine condition monitoring equipment manufacturers constantly focus on geographical expansion, increasing production capacities, and upselling products by upgrading the existing ones to gain market traction.
