The PLC market is strongly impacted by the industrial output and the investment funneled into computers and software. These PLC systems have traditionally been the foundation of both process and discrete factory automation. The growing adoption of Industry 4.0 across the industrial verticals has augmented the PLC market in the European region. A major growth indicator for PLCs in the discrete-manufacturing sector is the amplified deployment of robots across the automotive manufacturing, the electrical, and the electronics industries. With PLCs being used extensively in robotics, the market is expected to greatly benefit from the robotics boom. According to the recent estimates by IFR, five of the top 10 countries witnessing high industrial robots density are from Europe. These statistics indicate the high levels of automation that exists in the region and the need for process control equipment.
