工業路由器市場:2023年至2028年預測Industrial Routers Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028 |
2021年工業路由器市場規模達203.27億美元。
預計工業路由器市場在預測期內將以穩定的速度成長。工業路由器是一種設備,其主要功能是促進蜂巢式網路上的安全連接和通訊,同時保持對惡劣操作條件的適應能力。此類設備可以是有線或無線的,並且設計用於承受惡劣的環境條件。機器對機器(M2M)連接的擴展和工業自動化的普及是推動工業路由器產業成長的主要驅動力。
工業路由器在工業設置中各種設備、機器和系統之間的機器對機器 (M2M) 連接中發揮重要作用,因為它們為 M2M通訊提供穩定、安全和高效的連接。工業自動化和數位化趨勢正在催生 M2M 連接的激增,並且隨著越來越多的機器實現互連,對能夠處理不斷增加的資料通訊負載的工業路由器的需求不斷成長。根據思科年度網路報告,機器對機器(M2M)連線的佔有率預計將大幅增加,從 2018 年的 33% 到 2023 年增加到 50%。 M2M 連線數量也將激增,到 2023 年將達到 147 億。
工業路由器用於工業自動化,以促進機器之間高效可靠的通訊,這對於自動化系統的順利運作至關重要。這些堅固耐用的設備可實現工業網路各個組件之間的安全資料交換,即使在惡劣的環境條件下也能確保穩定的連接。工業自動化的普及是由於追求提高業務效率、減少人為干預、增強安全性和持續投資而推動的。例如,2022年2月,美國鋼鐵公司和卡內基鑄造廠聯合宣布戰略投資和合作夥伴關係,旨在透過部署先進的機器人和人工智慧來加速製造業工業自動化的擴展。
技術的進步正在創造具有增強功能的工業路由器,例如更快的資料傳輸速度、更好的安全功能以及在惡劣環境中的堅固性。此外,具有改進的無線連接選項的路由器的開發滿足了工業環境中無線通訊日益成長的趨勢。例如,2023年4月,移遠科技發表了首款高效能5G雙卡雙模有線無線工業路由器WR300FG。此外,2021 年 2 月,HMS Networks 發表了一款工業 5G 路由器。這款無線路由器 5G 與愛立信 Industry Connect 5G 網路相容,方便用戶在每個位置輕鬆存取 5G 連線。
預計亞太地區將在工業路由器市場中佔據重要佔有率,這主要是由於政府和企業巨頭旨在加強工業自動化的重大舉措和投資。例如,2022 年 11 月,韓國領先的電子商務公司 Coupang Inc. 宣布計劃撥款 40 億美元用於物流基礎設施自動化。此外,2023 年 4 月,技術開發委員會 (TDB) 將任命 IIT 坎普爾孵化的新興企業幫助機器視覺和機器人系統以及針對製造過程自動化的解決方案商業化,資金為 4,120 萬印度盧比。
工業路由器充當工業網路中的重要通訊節點,在控制網路流量方面發揮關鍵作用,因此經常成為網路攻擊的目標。如果這些路由器受到損害,它們將為駭客提供滲透整個工業網路的閘道器,從而導致潛在的資料外洩、業務中斷或破壞。網路攻擊的風險和安全漏洞的潛在後果可能會阻止一些組織充分整合此類網路技術,從而抑制工業路由器產業的成長。例如,2023年5月,研究人員在三個不同工業蜂窩路由器製造商的產品中總合發現了11個安全漏洞。攻擊者可以透過多種方式利用這些漏洞。
The industrial routers market was valued at US$20.327 billion in 2021.
The industrial routers market is predicted to grow at a constant rate during the forecast period. An industrial router is a device whose primary function is to facilitate secured connectivity and communication over a cellular network, all while maintaining resilience against challenging operational conditions. Such devices can either be wired or wireless and are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. The expanding machine-to-machine (M2M) connections and burgeoning industrial automation are key drivers propelling the growth of the industrial routers industry.
Industrial routers play a critical role in machine-to-machine (M2M) connections, between various devices, machines, and systems in an industrial setup, as they provide stable, secure, and efficient connectivity for M2M communication. The increasing trend of automation and digitalization in industries has created a surge in M2M connections and as more machines are interconnected, the demand for industrial routers that can handle the increased data communication load has grown. According to the Cisco "Annual Internet Report", the proportion of Machine-To-Machine (M2M) connections is projected to experience substantial growth, increasing from 33% in 2018 to an estimated 50% in 2023. The number of M2M connections is also set to soar, reaching an impressive 14.7 billion by 2023.
Industrial routers are used in industrial automation to facilitate efficient and reliable communication between machines which is essential for the smooth operation of automated systems. These robust devices enable secure data exchange between various components of an industrial network, ensuring stable connectivity even in challenging environmental conditions. The surge in industrial automation can be attributed to the pursuit of increased operational efficiency, reduced human intervention, enhanced safety, and ongoing investments. For instance, in February 2022, United States Steel and Carnegie Foundry jointly declared a strategic investment and partnership which aimed to expedite the expansion of industrial automation in manufacturing through the deployment of advanced robotics and artificial intelligence.
Technological advancements have led to the development of industrial routers with enhanced functionalities such as higher data transfer speeds, superior security features, and robustness in harsh environmental conditions. Furthermore, the development of routers with improved wireless connectivity options caters to the growing trend of wireless communication in industrial settings. For instance, in April 2023, Queclink unveiled its first high-performance 5G dual SIM dual mode wired and wireless industrial router, the WR300FG. Also, in February 2021, HMS Networks introduced its industrial 5G router. This Wireless Router 5G is compatible with Ericsson Industry Connect 5G networks, facilitating user-friendly access to 5G connectivity at their respective locations.
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold a significant share of the industrial router market primarily due to substantial initiatives and investments by governments & company giants aimed at bolstering industrial automation. For instance, In November 2022, Coupang Inc., a leading e-commerce company in Korea, announced plans to allocate $4 billion towards automating its logistics infrastructure. Also, In April 2023, an IIT Kanpur-incubated startup received funding of INR 4.12 crores from the Technology Development Board (TDB) to assist in the commercialization of its Machine Vision and Robotics System, a solution aimed at automating processes in the manufacturing industry.
Industrial routers, serving as pivotal communication nodes within industrial networks, are often targeted in cyber-attacks due to their crucial role in network traffic control. If compromised, these routers can provide an entry point for hackers to infiltrate the entire industrial network, leading to potential data breaches, disruptions in operations, or even sabotage. The risk of cyber-attacks and the potential consequences of a security breach can make some organizations hesitant to fully integrate such networked technologies, thereby restraining the growth of the industrial router industry. For instance, In May 2023, researchers discovered a total of 11 security vulnerabilities within products from three different industrial cellular router manufacturers. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by attackers through multiple methods.
