The power line communication (PLC) systems market is estimated to be valued at about USD 6 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2018 to 2025. The major driving forces of the PLC market are the reduction in communication networking modes, low cost of installation compared to other communication networking system, growing demand for cleaner and smarter energy, and high rates of data transmission.

Power Line Communication Market

The power line communication (PLC) systems market is estimated to be valued about USD 6 billion in 2018, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2018 to 2025. The major driving forces of the PLC market are the reduction in communication networking modes, low cost of installation compared to other communication networking system, growing demand for cleaner and smarter energy, and high rates of data transmission.

Narrowband power line communication has witnessed the largest market share during the forecast period. This growth is due to the growing demand for narrowband PLC in the smart grid application, which is used for energy generation especially solar panels. The broadband PLC also has maximum demand from home area networking segment. This growth is due to the recent acquisitions, for example, Marvell acquired DS2, Intellon by Atheros and Gigle by Broadcom in home networking segment.

Europe had the largest power line communication market share in 2017, and also projected the significant growth during forecast period. The European region observed this growth due to the increase in adoption of PLC technology for latest metering devices.

The power line communication (PLC) systems market is estimated to be valued at about USD 6 billion in 2018, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2018 to 2025. Key major factor restraining the growth of PLC market is the noise generation due to the power lines, which has a huge impact on data transmission quality of PLC devices.

Apart from the different end users, PLC in transportation segment has witnessed a slight growth during the forecast period. This reduces the cost and weight of the cables used inside the vehicles for communication purpose. The indoor networking application has witnessed a major growth in the PLC market. This market is growing due to the increased adoption rate of power line adapters majorly used in the residential sector.

The PLC market is segmented by solution type which consists of two segments such as PLC over AC lines and PLC over DC lines. The PLC over AC lines segment is growing and is expected to witness a significant growth during the forecast period. This growth is due to the rising demand of PLC technology in the vehicle communication and electric vehicle charging application. Conversely, the PLC over DC lines is also growing rapidly due to the increasing demand for home networking, lighting, and solar applications.

The SAE combo charging system (CCS) uses PLC technology for the communication purpose. Attributable to this, SAE CCS is gaining the popularity in the American and European regions, especially for electric vehicle charging application.  This popularity has led to a rise in the demand for SAE combo charging system, which can be considered as one of the key factor for the growth of PLC market in these regions. The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing a significant growth as a result of the high demand for PLC system from the residential and industrial end users.
