WLAN and Bluetooth Dominate
Market for Wireless-Enabled Industrial Automation Equipment
More than half of all wireless-enabled industrial automation equipment shipped
in 2012 used Bluetooth or 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN) technology, with
the two entrenched standards set to increase their domination of the market in
the coming years. WLAN accounted for a 31 percent share of shipments of
wireless-enabled industrial automation equipment in 2012, while Bluetooth held
22 percent of the market, according to a new IHS report entitled "The
World Market for Wireless Communications in Factory and Process
Automation" from IMS Research, now part of information and analytics
provider IHS (NYSE: IHS). The remainder of the market was populated by a range
of mainly proprietary technologies all accounting for relatively small
percentages, as presented in the attached figure.
