Field Device Management Market

Field Device Management Market Outlook 2031:

The global field device management market size was valued at USD 1.58 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 2.83 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the exponential shift towards smart and automated technologies from traditional technologies for development of smart factories.

Field device management (FDM) is a multipurpose, handy, and predictable plant instrumentation solution which streamlines the maintenance of the smart instrument. FDM is the process of organizing and keeping tools for smart field systems in order to analyze and troubleshoot applications. It adapts to industry standards and practices distant communication arrangement to interconnect to the configured devices. Field device systems help customers to maintain, detect, and modify field devices remotely. It provides entire order and control of all devices in the manufacturing plant and saves time by decreasing the count of field trips.
