The increasing demand for automation is significantly driving the growth of the data acquisition (DAQ) system market. Automation refers to the application of technologies with minimal human intervention for producing and delivering goods and services. The majority of the industrial sectors are adopting automated technologies to cut back errors, reduce repetitive tasks, and lower processing costs. The increasing demand for automation in the industries is directly promoting the increased use of data acquisition (DAQ) systems. For instance, in October 2023, according to Cavintek Inc., a US-based firm that offers workflow automation and productivity applications, over 80% of business leaders said they were speeding up productivity automation and expanding the use of remote labor. 43% of firms plan to reduce their workforce by utilizing automation technologies. Therefore, the increase in demand for automation is driving the data acquisition (DAQ) system market growth.

Major companies operating in the data acquisition (DAQ) system market are focusing on developing innovations such as modular click-together platforms for flexible, high-channel-count measurement and real-time data logging. A modular DAQ platform uses a base unit with interchangeable amplifier or sensor-interface modules, allowing users to mix and match inputs such as voltage, current, temperature, strain, or vibration sensors in a single system. It supports synchronized, high-speed data capture across distributed locations, offering greater flexibility and scalability compared to traditional fixed-channel or monolithic DAQ systems. For instance, in June 2023, imc Test & Measurement GmbH, a Germany-based test and measurement solutions company, launched the imc ARGUSfit, a modular DAQ system designed for automotive, aerospace, and industrial testing. The system features click-together modules, supports up to 1000 channels, provides sampling rates up to 500 kS/s per channel, enables fibre-optic distributed module connections, and includes embedded real-time processing for stand-alone data logging, allowing sensor-near placement, reduced cabling, and flexible deployment in complex testing environments.

In November 2023, Moog Inc., an American company specializing in the design, manufacture, and integration of precision control systems and components, acquired Data Collection Limited (DCL) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Moog's offerings in pavement management solutions by integrating DCL's expertise in pavement surveying equipment and its Road Measurement Data Acquisition System (ROMDAS) product line into Moog's Military Aircraft Group's Mission Systems division. Data Collection Limited (DCL), based in New Zealand, specializes in pavement surveying equipment, particularly its ROMDAS system, which is utilized for road condition assessment and management.

The data acquisition (DAQ) system refers to a system that can measure and record physical or electrical properties to understand the system’s performance. DAQ systems are computer-based measurement systems that help in measuring an electrical or physical phenomenon such as current, voltage, pressure, temperature, or sound. These systems capture and store data from an actual system for further scientific and engineering review.

The main types of data acquisition (DAQ) systems are peripheral component interconnect (PCI), LAN extensions for instrumentation (LXI)/ ethernet, VME extensions for instrumentation (VXI), PCI extensions for instrumentation (PXI), universal serial bus (USB), and standalone. The main components include hardware and software. They offer high-speed (>100 ks/s) and low speed (< 100 ks/s). The various applications include research and analysis, manufacturing and quality, asset condition monitoring, and design validation and repair that are used by aerospace and defense, energy and power, automotive and transportation, wireless communication and infrastructure, water and wastewater treatment, healthcare, and food and beverages.
