Synopsis:

Industrial companies are increasingly adopting Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology to increase production, improve efficiencies, to reduce the environmental impact of their processes, and to ease the cost of complying with regulations.

Based on over 275 interviews and completed surveys, this report covers the vast market opportunities for wireless sensing and control in the industrial sector.

The major research questions addressed include the following:

What is the market size for industrial WSN today and in five years?

What are the best targeted markets for traditional, vertical, and emerging application areas and how do the market drivers compare in each?

Which standards and technologies are driving WSN?

Who are the leading competitors today in the major product segments and how can my company gain a competitive advantage?

Primary Research:

End Users
115 industrial end users in several industries

Vendors/Experts
160 industry experts with the leading industrial automation OEMs, systems integrators, software developers, and component suppliers

Sample Report Findings:

Current Market Data:

* One in three industrial end users currently have at least one deployed wireless application

* Nearly half are planning to adopt, or will be investigating, WSN over the next 18 months

* A larger percentage of planned applications are for emerging applications than current wireless applications

* The most important wireless priorities or considerations related are: 1. data reliability, 2. ease of use, and 3. long battery lifetimes

WSN Technologies:

* Fifty-five percent plan to support ISA SP100, 40% plan to support WirelessHART, and 32% plan to support ZigBee

* Forty-five percent of deployed WSN nodes for industrial applications will be based on IEEE802.15.4

Market Opportunity:

* The global total industrial WSN market will be worth $4.6 billion in 2011

* Process control/automation will be worth 22% of the total WSN market at this time

* Two thirds of the revenues will be for new markets, or emerging application areas that are limited today due to cost of wiring.
