The opc server software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.08 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the globalization of manufacturing operations, the increasing demand for real-time analytics, the expansion of smart factory concepts, the adoption of advanced communication protocols, and the enhancement of diagnostics and monitoring capabilities in industrial settings. Major trends in this period include the integration of Industry 4.0 principles, the adoption of cloud-based solutions, the integration of edge computing, the use of unified communication protocols, the incorporation of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, and the implementation of remote access solutions.

The OPC server software market is poised for growth due to the increasing adoption of industrial robots for industrial automation. Industrial robots, characterized by multiple degrees of freedom, are integral to various tasks across diverse contexts. The OPC server software facilitates connectivity between industrial robots and other OPC UA-compatible devices and applications, employing a standards-based data communication approach. It enables the regulation and linking of data from robots to the factory control center. The surge in industrial robot adoption is attributed to Industry 4.0 advancements. For example, the International Federation of Robotics reported a 6% increase in industrial robots operating in UK factories in 2021, reaching 23,000 units, and a deployment of 50,712 industrial robots in the US. The global operational robot fleet has surpassed 3.5 million units, indicating a significant rise. Consequently, the increased use of industrial robots in automation is expected to drive the OPC server software market.

The growth of the OPC server software market is further propelled by the increasing adoption of industrial internet of things (IIoT) technology. IIoT involves applying internet of things (IoT) technologies to industrial settings, enhancing processes by connecting industrial devices and systems to the internet for data collection, analysis, and exchange. IIoT facilitates improved connectivity, real-time data access, increased efficiency, predictive maintenance, remote monitoring and control, and promotes interoperability. The expected proliferation of IIoT devices, estimated to reach 25.4 billion by 2030, according to Exploding Topics, underscores the significance of this technology in driving the OPC server software market.
