Report Overview

Industrial PC Market: Overview

An industrial PC is a PC-based computing platform for industrial applications. Industrial PCs are high-performance computing solutions manufactured to withstand extreme temperature, high humidity, and other severe environmental conditions. The increasing R&D investments across manufacturing industries, growing demand for energy-efficient manufacturing operations, and increasing emphasis on regulatory compliances. The growing popularity of automation is one of the main reasons that will drive industrial PC market growth. The rising penetration of IoT across all the industries and vast investments in R&D by big manufacturing companies will upsurge the adoption rate of Industrial PCs over the forecast period. The increasing government support to the adoption of automation tools in the industrial sector could be a vital driver for the industrial PC market, as it will allow the industry sector in emerging countries to adopt industrial PC systems in an efficient pricing structure. Global industrial trends, digitization, and automation will additionally push the demand.  For instance, Jan 23, 2019, Giada, a provider of embedded PCs, embedded motherboards, server, and storage appliances launch its latest industrial PC, the ISC-261. The ISC-261 joins the AS20 in Giada’s family of Industrial PCs and industrial embedded motherboards as an industrial control PC, or sturdy option for demanding retail and (outdoor) digital signage.
