Growing Adoption of SCADA Systems Drives Growth of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) Market

Published: Oct 2024

Remote terminal units (RTUs) market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is attributed to the increasing adoption of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) in industrial automation, the expansion in the energy sector such as power generation, transmission, and distribution, and the need for efficient monitoring and control is driving the demand for RTUs. The rising demand for water conservation, smart metering, and efficient wastewater treatment management is also contributing to the increased use of SCADA systems, which need RTUs for accurate and timely data acquisition.

According to the Worldmetrics, in July 2024, Global SCADA market is projected to reach $13.2 billion by 2025. SCADA systems help in reducing downtime by up to 40.0%. SCADA systems can help improve operational efficiency by up to 30.0%. Industries are increasingly emphasizing remote operations and monitoring, which has accelerated RTU usage within SCADA systems, allowing operators to manage systems from distant locations. SCADA systems are extensively used in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations for real-time data monitoring, where RTUs help in process control, safety, and operational efficiency.

Recent Developments

  • In May 2023, Schneider Electric introduced SCADAPack™ 470i and 474i enhanced remote terminal units (RTUs) and controllers with integrated edge platform. The SCADAPack 470i and 474i provide a dedicated platform for advanced edge computing services and protocols. These capabilities mean that the SCADAPack 470i and 474i are open to legacy and next-generation solutions.
  • In March 2023, ABB India automates the first India-Bangladesh cross-border oil pipeline. The project scope includes installing ABB Ability™ SCADAvantage, Remote Terminal Units (RTU), and a leak detection system. The Centralized monitoring and real-time data access ensure a high degree of safety and efficiency in the pipeline network. ABB Ability™ SCADAvantage, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and leak detection system allow Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL) to remotely monitor and control vital pipeline parameters such as flow, pressure, and temperature, as well as detect leaks.
