Automation and AI workloads support market growth
MarketsandMarkets says demand for supervisory control and data acquisition, or SCADA, is being supported by the expansion of hyperscale and colocation data centers, the increasing deployment of artificial intelligence workloads, and the growing complexity of critical power and utility infrastructure.
SCADA software, industrial control hardware, data acquisition systems, and supervisory monitoring are enabling faster fault detection, centralized visibility, and improved operational control, according to the report. Operators are also investing in real-time monitoring, alarm management, and supervisory control for electrical power distribution, backup power systems, cooling utilities, and other critical processes.
Large and mega campus facilities are adding to demand, while infrastructure modernization, industrial connectivity, and operational automation are strengthening the market worldwide.
Software leads growth, while hardware remains essential
Software is expected to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period, at 16.8%, according to MarketsandMarkets. The report links that growth to adoption of real-time monitoring, visualization, alarm management, and supervisory control platforms.
Electrical power distribution monitoring and control accounted for approximately 35, 37% of the market in 2025. That share reflects the importance of tracking critical electrical infrastructure, power distribution, and operating conditions in data centers.
Hardware is expected to account for a significant share through 2032 because SCADA systems depend on equipment that acquires operational data, transmits field signals, and enables supervisory monitoring. The report identifies programmable logic controllers, remote terminal units, human-machine interfaces, industrial communication gateways, and I/O modules as components used to connect field equipment with supervisory platforms.
Hyperscale facilities and Asia Pacific are key segments
Hyperscale data centers are expected to register the highest CAGR from 2026 to 2032 and account for the largest market share during the forecast period. MarketsandMarkets attributes this position to their large-scale infrastructure, high operational complexity, and need for continuous oversight of power distribution, backup systems, cooling utilities, and other critical infrastructure.
Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest regional CAGR, at 15, 17%, and maintain a significant market position. The report points to data center investments across China, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Australia, along with expanding cloud adoption, artificial intelligence infrastructure, and high-density computing environments.
The report identifies Schneider Electric, Siemens, Emerson Electric Co., ABB, and Honeywell International Inc. among the major companies operating in the market. For data center operators, the forecast indicates that expanding facilities and more complex infrastructure could sustain demand for SCADA hardware, software, and integration services.
