3.1 Market Scale of Industrial Ethernet

According to data from the PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) association, 9.625 million new PROFINET nodes were added in 2024, demonstrating widespread adoption of industrial Ethernet protocols. The global industrial communication market (including PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, and other protocols) totals $25.5 billion PROFINET_RT_IRT_Deepdive and shows continuing growth.
