Most distributed control systems were installed during the 1980s in Europe and North America. These systems are reaching the end of their reasonable lifecycle, thus creating the need to upgrade or replace them with technologically advanced systems. In addition, increasing industrialization in developing regions of Asia Pacific, there is an increased demand for distributed control systems. Emergence of open source solutions is helping small and mid-sized enterprises to reap the benefits of DCS software solutions, thus contributing to the market growth.

The global DCS market is segmented into three major categories based on components, namely hardware, software, and services.
