Recently, with the vigorous development of industrial Internet of things, human-machine interface has become an intelligent gateway for machine connection, playing an increasingly important role. Buke IOT human-machine interface, as an important part of Buke m-iot machine IOT solution, is welcomed by more and more customers.
In 2020, the global market size of touch screen human-machine interface (HMI) reached USD 1,665.68 million, and it is expected to reach USD 3,019.95 million in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%.
At the regional level, China's market has changed rapidly in the past few years. In 2020, the market size will be USD 291.21 million, accounting for about 17% of the world's total. It is expected to reach USD 649.89 million in 2027, when the global share will exceed 21%.
China's industrial automation technology is gradually developed by combining the application requirements of China's equipment manufacturing industry, introducing, digesting, absorbing and re-innovating international advanced technology. China's industrial automation technology has a short development history, and its R&D foundation is relatively weak. Compared with the international advanced technology, there is still a certain gap in technology maturity. However, in recent years, the level of industrial automation technology in China has been rapidly improved, and the gap between products and technologies and international advanced technologies has been continuously narrowed. The application and popularization of modern industrial automation technology will significantly improve the overall social production efficiency, and at the same time accelerate the optimization and upgrading of the traditional industrial structure. With the continuous development of control engineering, ergonomics, computer software, embedded software, electronics, power electronics, motor, mechatronics, network communication and other disciplines, intelligence, miniaturization, networking, platform and integration will become the main direction of industrial automation technology development. Among them, the industrial man-machine interface is gradually developing towards the direction of intelligence and networking. Increasing the functions of interface, wireless communication, intelligent analysis and the improvement of processing speed is the future technical development direction. Servo system With the wide application of new power semiconductor devices, high-performance digital signal processors and servo special modules, servo drive software algorithms are constantly improving. High speed, high precision, high performance, high efficiency, integration, networking and modular design have become the technical development direction of servo system.
The industry generally believes that the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries' intelligence, digitalization and informatization is the main driving force for the growth of human-machine interface market. Man-machine interface plays a significant role in changing information forms, providing system control and promoting man-machine communication. As the main force of information interaction in automation field, it can not only improve the efficiency and quality of production, but also enhance the user experience.
However, although the demand and prospect of human-machine interface are considerable, from the perspective of global development, there are still some problems in China's industry market. Countries such as Europe and America began to develop human-machine interface as early as 1980s, but China started after 2000, so there is a gap in product technology, performance and stability, and the market is monopolized by enterprises in Europe, America, Japan and other regions. In other words, due to differences in technology, products and brand influence, although China has the largest demand market for human-machine interface in the world, it is still not the largest sales market for human-machine interface in the world. This means that the development of man-machine interface in China is still at the low end, and the domestic business development structure and industrial chain shift obviously, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the domestic market in the future. The good news is that the strong support of current domestic industrial policies, the release of demand brought by the increase of labor costs, and the continuous expansion of product applications under the trend of intelligent transformation have brought favorable opportunities for the development of human-machine interface in China. Under this opportunity, Chinese enterprises focus on products and technologies, accelerate independent research and development, and are narrowing the gap with foreign enterprises.
At present, the world's major manufacturers include Siemens, Schneider, Advantech Technology, Mitsubishi Electric and ABB, etc. In 2020, the share of major manufacturers will exceed 35%. The global HMI market is relatively scattered, and it is expected that the industry competition will be more intense in the next few years, especially in the Chinese market.
The overall outlook is promising
China's government regards steady growth as the top priority of its economic work in the future. At the same time, it points out for the first time that the operation of China's economy will show an "L"-shaped trend, and accordingly, a series of policies and measures have been successively introduced. Many of these policies and measures are unprecedented, such as de-capacity, de-stocking, de-leverage, cost reduction, and short-boarding. This shows that the decision-making level has an accurate judgment and sufficient risk estimation on the current trend of China's economic operation. Therefore, considering China's economic foundation and development prospects, the overall future prospects are promising.
Developing countries have strong demand and rapid growth
With the joint efforts of mankind, the epidemic will be gradually controlled, and more and more human-machine interface technologies will be adopted in emerging economies, which is expected to promote the overall market in the next few years.
Rapid technological development
The latest generation of HMI products contains and constructs the best functions of previous generations of HMI and operator interface terminals by integrating mature commercial technologies. New technological advantages include: open source, economical configuration, ease of use, integrated screen and flexible port, network and cloud-based connection, mobile devices, etc.
