The global Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) market size was US$ 16480 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 22780 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
A programmable logic controller, PLC, is a digital computer used for automation of typically industrial electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or light fixtures. PLCs are used in many machines, in many industries. PLCs are designed for multiple arrangements of digital and analog inputs and outputs, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are typically stored in battery-backed-up or non-volatile memory. A PLC is an example of a "hard" real-time system since output results must be produced in response to input conditions within a limited time, otherwise unintended operation will result.
The core manufacturers of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) in the world include Siemens, Rockwell (A-B), and Mitsubishi. The first three companies account for about 64% of the share. Asia-Pacific is the largest market with nearly 38% of the market, followed by Europe and North America with 32% and 23% respectively.
