Global Operational Technology Market Definition

Operational technology is a category of communication and computing systems to manage, monitor, and control industrial operations with a focus on the physical devices and processes they use. This technology helps to manage the manufacturing/industrial equipment and industrial process assets. It includes the hardware and software that keeps the factories, power plants, facility equipment, etc. in working conditions. The operation technology generally includes distributed control systems (DCSs), industrial control systems (ICSs), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. The operation technology is largely being used in many industries including oil and gas, manufacturing, electrical generation and distribution, aviation, rail, maritime, and utilities.

At an organization level, the operation technology generally sticks to the core business processes. In the factory, the operation technology monitor and manages goods to be manufactured. In the past, operation technology has been kept distinct from IT environments; however, with the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the distinction between the two environments is blurring. IIOT devices enable the devices to be operated remotely, allowing organizations to achieve greater efficiency and productivity. Therefore, cybersecurity becomes a growing concern. This is mainly due to increased connections between devices/enterprise technologies and the internet opens up new access points that are vulnerable to attack from external threats.

Global Operational Technology Market Overview

Increasing demand for the operational technologies from the end-use industries is one of the key factors which is expected to drive the market’s growth over the forecast period. Rising various governments’ support for IT innovation in many countries is anticipated to offer immense potential opportunities for the key players in the market over the forecast period. Governments across the globe are taking initiatives and providing funding to many industries to explore and integrate operational technologies.

Companies from developed countries are shifting their manufacturing and production plants to developing economies such as China, India, and Brazil. This is mainly due to the low cost of manufacturing and easy availability of labor. These developments have created more demand for the technologies such as operational technologies to monitor, manage, and control the processes and assets in developing countries. However, the high cost of operational technology-related software and hardware is one of the key factors which could hinder the market’s growth over the forecast period.

In addition to this, training the employees also significantly contributed to the total cost, which is not feasible for small and medium-scale companies. Furthermore, increasing cyber-attacks on operational technologies such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, distributed control systems (DCS), and human-machine interfaces (HMI) is also one of the key challenges for the end users. Though the security of these systems become more advanced in recent years, cyberattacks still hampering the growth of the Global Operational Technology Market.
