Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

A new analytical research report composed by Persistence Market Research projects the global market for industrial wireless sensor network market to record a spectacular expansion during the assessment period 2017 to 2026. Revenues from worldwide sales of industrial wireless sensor network are estimated to close in on approximately $7,000 million by 2026-end.

Growing Implementation of Automation Technologies to Drive Demand for Industrial Wireless Sensor Network

Operational efficiency has remained a key priority among various industries for retaining their position in the industrial marketplace, wherein competition is becoming intense. This has further prompted industries around the world to direct their focus toward implementation of automation technologies. Automation helps these industries in efficiently monitoring, managing, and controlling their processes, which in turn enables realization of operational efficiency. Automation can be achieved through deployment of industrial robots that enable maximizing productivity, meanwhile inhibiting manufacturing errors. Adoption of industrial robots and automation further entails the requirement for numerous wireless sensors and an efficient network of these sensors to carry out the processes effectively.

Influence of the widespread economic development on demand for energy and power has been continuously increasing over the past few years, which in turn has been putting huge pressure on the oil & gas industry. In a bid to cater growing demand, oil & gas companies are exploring potential opportunities, while focusing on the upgradation of their existing processes. Effective deployment of a wireless sensor network has become a top priority within these companies, for increasing their productivity and achieving energy efficiency. This facilitates oil & gas industries to efficiently monitor the equipment condition, apart from maintaining industrial safety and efficiency.
