Based on application, the global powerline carrier market is segmented into the following: smart grid, indoor networking, street lighting, machine-to-machine (M2M), and others. The top three segments are:

  • Smart grid
  • Indoor networking
  • Street lighting

Global powerline carrier market by smart grid

Smart grid applications include advanced metering infrastructure and renewable energy resources. In 2015, smart grid applications accounted for 55.64% of the market share in terms of revenue. This segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. One of the major reasons for the growth is the rise in emphasis on renewable power energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic wind and hydro power. The global renewable energy market was valued at USD 625.3 billion in 2015. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.12% during 2015-2020.

“Another major factor that aids in market growth is the implementation of advanced metering infrastructure by government utilities. In June 2015, Netz Burgenland Strom, an electricity distribution system operator in Austria, awarded a contract to Landis+Gyr for the installation of smart meters across the country by leveraging its G3 PLC technology,” says Sunil Kumar Singh, a lead analyst at Technavio for embedded systems research.

Global powerline carrier market by indoor networking

Indoor networking refers to data transmission within office spaces and warehouses. The majority of new offices are designed with a combination of wired and wireless networks to capitalize on both types of connectivity. PLC technology does not require new wire installation; therefore, PLC has proved to be a cost-effective technology for business organizations over wireless technologies. However, we expect that the market share of this segment will decline during the forecast period because of the implementation of bring your own device (BYOD) and corporately owned, personally enabled (COPE) devices in business organizations. This is has resulted in a rise in the adoption of wireless computing devices, such as smartphones and tablets, for indoor networking. As these devices have high computational power and require a high data transfer rate, wireless networking is gaining traction for indoor networking.

Global powerline carrier market by lighting

PLC technology is used for lighting automation, which includes street lighting and industrial lighting. In November 2015, China announced plans to invest USD 31 billion in building smart grid infrastructure in the northwest province of Xinjiang. The impact of street lighting on the PLC market has already been explained in the market trends section. In this section, the report focuses on the significance of PLC technology in industrial lighting. Unlike residential places, which require light for a few hours per day, industrial facilities consume light for almost 24 hours. Smart lighting systems provide an essential tool for reducing electricity bills and maintenance costs.

“The growing demand for intelligent lighting systems across industries has benefitted PLC technology. This is because the environment in industrial areas is harsh and the presence of various automated industrial equipment make data transmission over wireless networks unreliable. Therefore, the market share of this segment will increase during the forecast period,” says Sunil.
