Global Power Line Communication (PLC) Systems Market Outlook
Growing deployment of smart grids, and the emerging use of bidirectional communication technology in power lines is surging the growth of the global power line communication systems market. As per our recent business intelligence report, the global power line communication systems market size was approximately $6.0 billion to $6.5 billion as of 2018, and the market demand is projected to increment at a robust CAGR of 12% to 15% over the forecast period of 2019 to 2025.
PLC is a technology which is used for the transmission of data through electric power transmission cables. PLC systems are widely preferred over wireless and home networking technologies because of their attributes which includes easy installation, availability of alternate current outlets, higher throughput, security, and low cost. These systems are used for the delivery of xDSL and broadband internet services along with the electricity to the consumers.
PLC is an optimal solution for smart grid (SG) applications. PLC systems deployed in the smart grids are used to provide two way communication in the grids. With the integration of sensors, meters and actuators in the grid, the signaling takes place over a narrow frequency band (NB), which is based on low data rate techniques. In smart metering and home energy management systems, both broadband and narrowband standards of PLC systems are largely deployed which in turn growing the demand for smart grids in PLC system market.
Europe holds the largest share of the Power Line Communication Systems Market According to IndustryARC market analysis, Europe held the largest demand share of more than 28% to 32% of the overall demand as of 2018. The use of broadband power line communication systems such as last mile systems in Europe is more developed than the other regions. Application-wise, industries are the key in the PLC systems market, and the demand for this segment is projected to increment at a CAGR of about 8% to 10% over the forecast period of 2019-2025.
To monitor and control production processes and building systems, they are used in industries. PLC is commonly used in civil applications which includes washing machines and for controlling traffic signals and elevators. The increasing demand for broadband power line communication devices in the indoor networking application is also driving growth for the PLC systems market. However, electric noise generation is a major concern that affects the PLC performance coupled with various restrictions on frequency bands limit data rates acting as a restraint to its large scale adoption.
