The need to meet global regulatory standards, local feature set requirements and key customer one-off configurations is putting enormous pressure on every segment of the manufacturing economy. A non-networked operation can lead to inconsistent, uneven, and even inaccurate data collection. The trend of interconnecting systems, equipment, machinery, and devices within an industrial operation through a networked infrastructure is growing one.

The need to meet global regulatory standards, local feature set requirements and key customer one-off configurations is putting enormous pressure on every segment of the manufacturing economy. Inefficiencies in cost and performance abound in the sheer amount of variables that must be managed inside ever-compressing cycle times. In order to meet regulatory, general market and key customer requirements, production managers need an increasing volume of accurate, relevant, real-time data.
The operative words are accurate and relevant for more real-time data alone will not enable better process control, equipment management, or ultimately, higher quality and lower cost output. Rather, the key to enabling reliability and relevance is networking. A non-networked operation can lead to inconsistent, uneven, and even inaccurate data collection. Thus, the trend of interconnecting systems, equipment, machinery, and devices within an industrial operation through a networked infrastructure is a growing one. The documented benefits are considerable.
VDC previous research projected a 26.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for industrial networking infrastructure products over five years through 2011. More industrial operators understand that point-to-point hard wiring is expensive to install, time-consuming to troubleshoot, and hard to modify and turning to a network- enabled operation eases the burden.
Despite the high growth outlook, however, hype and legitimate questions surround the industrial networking industry. How long can the market sustain this strong growth? Which technical factors and purchasing conditions will influence the health of the industrial networking infrastructure market? How can stakeholders best position themselves to stay competitive? Product suppliers need reliable information not unsubstantiated claims in order to make sound business decisions. VDCs Industrial Networking: 2008 Global Market Intelligence Service will answer these questions and more with a year-round analysis of the industrial networking product, industry, competitive, and user landscape. The service, consisting of multiple focused reports underpinned with full access to the analysts throughout the year, will contain the following types of analyses:
In-depth analysis of global market opportunity for wireless and wireline industrial networking infrastructure, including detailed definition and segmentation of the potential applications, by region; Conservative regional market penetration models, adoption rates, estimates and forecasts for wireless and wireline industrial networking infrastructure in a wide range of applications; User requirements of wireless and wireline industrial networking infrastructure products, including product and vendor selection criteria, performance features, etc.; Detailed channel analysis of the wireless and wireline industrial networking infrastructure market, including the leading and emerging participants, sales organizations and customer classes; Industry structure and competitive analysis of wireless and wireline industrial networking infrastructure suppliers, including market share, position, direction and profiles; Discussion of key challenges, mandates, standards, forces and trends driving market demand for and resistance to wireless and wireline industrial networking infrastructure; and Suggestions and recommendations of action for suppliers and stakeholders in the market.
