Market Dynamics:
Driver: Rising demand for Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 aims at fully integrating the communication process used in manufacturing to improve the efficiency of factories and transform them into smart factories. This is achieved through Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), industrial automation, data exchange, and deployment of smart field devices. The benefits of Industry 4.0 and IIoT include the integration of IO-Link solutions with overall industrial automation systems, easy replacement of sensors, elimination of manual parameter settings, continuous data monitoring and status diagnostics, and increased uptime.
Restraint: Use of compact machines
IO-Link solutions help reduce cables and wiring for industrial machines. Manufacturing industries demand compact and reliable solutions for their operational processes. This leads to the requirement of compact machines on a factory floor. Such compact machines, apart from being small, consume less power and offer better performance as compared with other industrial solutions. Also, the wiring in compact machines is already short. In such cases, deploying IO-Link solutions is costlier for industry players. In addition, these machines are efficient and require lesser space than traditional machines and other industrial solutions. Hence, the use of compact machines for industrial automation is a key hurdle for the growth of the IO-Link market.
Opportunity: Increasing adoption of IO-Link in automotive industry
A minor shutdown can result in huge losses in a manufacturing unit in the automotive industry. A fault can hamper the entire production process. IO-Link devices are used to eliminate such downtimes, improve product and production processes, and ensure regular preventive maintenance. IO-Link masters are developed according to AIDA specifications for the automotive industry and provide improved performance. The Automation Initiative of German Domestic Automobile manufacturers (AIDA) has defined a standard for IO-Link masters used in the automotive industry. According to this standard, an L-coded power connection with functional earth is to be used for all field modules. Vertical integration in automation for the automotive industry includes the support of EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP. Also, IO-Link products are used for seamless integration with controllers. Thus, the automotive industry is expected to create a huge opportunity for the IO-Link ecosystem players in the near future.
Challenge: Cyber risks associated with automation systems
IO-Link solutions are vulnerable to threats such as cross-site request forgery (CSRF), reflected cross-site scripting (XSS), blind command injection, and denial-of-service (DoS) issues. Also, Other risks associated with IO-Link include spear phishing, watering hole, and database injection. In a phishing assault, a digital criminal can steal the data from devices by deceiving them into sharing the security key for an application. Cyber risks threaten industrial automation and control systems (IACS). However, cybersecurity measures are taken to secure IACS against such risks. These assaults are used to threaten manufacturing industries and gain monetary benefits or critical business information. These dangers begin from the web, corporate systems, programming overhauls, and unapproved access.
By type, IO-Link wireless to grow with the highest CAGR during forecast period
The IO-Link wireless segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The performance, functionality, and capability of IO-Link wireless are comparable to wired IO-Link; however, the elimination of cables ensures more flexibility, greater robustness, and better scalability. The rising demand for the IO-Link wireless protocol and increasing adoption of smart manufacturing across industries are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of IO-Link wireless in the near future.
IO-Link devices hold the larger share of the IO-Link market in 2020
The IO-Link devices segment held the major share of the IO-Link market in 2020, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. IO-Link devices can be integrated into any fieldbus or automation system, have auto-device replacement functionality, and are easy to integrate. Such devices can be connected using the same cost-effective standard unshielded 3-wire cables as conventional discrete I/O, which helps reduce complex wiring. Also, industry 4.0 and IoT are becoming the key technology trends for the automation and motion control industry. This has accelerated the demand for smart sensors, which is expected to drive the growth of the IO-Link devices market in the near future.
Discrete industries segment is projected to hold the largest share in 2027
In 2027, the discrete industries segment is projected to capture the largest share of the IO-Link market. The surging demand for new technologies from automotive, aerospace & defense, semiconductor & electronics, machine manufacturing, packaging, and medical devices industries is primarily responsible for the growth of this segment. In addition, increasing demand for a new remote configuration, monitoring, and maintenance solution also expected to fuels the growth of this segment in near future.
In 2026, Europe is projected to hold the largest share of the overall IO-Link market
To know about the assumptions considered for the study, download the pdf brochure
Europe is projected to account for the largest share of the IO-Link market in 2026. Rising demand for IoT-connected devices and industrial automation in manufacturing industries, presence of major growing economies, such as the UK, Germany, and France, governments of European countries are taking initiatives to establish smart factories and digitize European industries are expected to increase the demand for IO-Link solutions. IO-Link provides a platform to help sensors and actuators become smarter than other field devices. These factors are expected to accelerate the growth of IO-Link market in Europe.

13.5 AUTHOR DETAILS
The study involved four major activities in estimating the size of the IO-Link market. Exhaustive secondary research has been carried out to collect information on the market, the peer markets, and the parent market. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the total market size. Market breakdown and data triangulation methods have also been used to estimate the market for segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources include corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements); trade, business, and professional associations; white papers; IoT technologies journals and certified publications; articles by recognized authors; gold-standard and silver-standard websites; directories; and databases. Data has also been collected from secondary sources such as UK Competitive Telecommunications Association (UK), ASTM International (US), European Research Council (Belgium), World Trade Organization (Switzerland), The International Trade Centre (ITC) (Switzerland), and United States Telecom Association (US).
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding and analyzing the current scenario of the IO-Link market through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders from both the demand and supply sides across four major regions: North America, Europe, APAC, and RoW. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews have been conducted with the demand side, while 75% have been conducted with the supply side. This primary data has been collected mainly through telephonic interviews, which account for 80% of the total primary interviews. Questionnaires and e-mails have also been used to collect data. After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. The breakdown of primary respondents is as follows:
