COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The ongoing spread of COVID-19 has become one of the biggest threats to the global economy and is causing widespread concerns and economic hardship for consumers, businesses, and communities across the globe. The “new normal” that includes social distancing and working from home has created challenges with daily activities, regular work, needs, and supplies, causing delayed initiatives and missed opportunities.
By Type
System Digital Twin segment generated the highest revenue in 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the society and overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak increased day-by-day which affected the supply chain. This has created uncertainty in the stock market; decreased business confidence, slowed supply chain, and increased panic among customers. European countries under lockdown have suffered a major loss of business and revenue due to the shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. Operations of production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19, which led to a decrease in the growth of the electrical digital twin market in 2020.
According to the electrical digital twin market trends, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the global manufacturing and industrial sectors as production facilities have stalled, which, in turn, led to significant demand in industries.
By Application
Asset Performance Management segment generated the highest revenue in 2020.
The emergence of COVID-19 declined the growth of the electrical digital twin market revenue in 2020 and is estimated to witness slow growth till the end of 2021. Implementation of partial or complete lockdowns across various countries globally is the prime reason for the decline in the growth rate of the market. As industries were temporarily shut, it reduced the need for maintenance from various industries.
Top Impacting Factors
The significant factors that impact the global electrical digital twin market include rising demand in the healthcare sector to cover real-time aspects, and rising use of digital twins for predictive maintenance to avoid unexpected interruption. In addition, higher system complexities is the key hurdle to market growth. Moreover, the growing adoption of advanced technologies for the implementation of digital twin applications has affected the market growth to a certain extent. Each of these factors is anticipated to have a definite impact on the global electrical digital twin market during the forecast period. These factors are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth in the coming years.
By End User
Utilities segment generated the highest revenue in 2020.
Rising demand in the healthcare sector to cover real-time aspects
Many industry verticals including the healthcare sector, are implementing digital twin to improve and optimize their operations. Digital Twin embraces four technologies such as IoT, Extended Reality (XR), Cloud, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create visual representation, capture, store, analyze data, and provide valuable insights. Moreover, it is widely adopted in the healthcare sector as it is dynamic and gets real-time updates from the physical assets, systems, or processes. Digital twin helps to capture continuous data from the individual about various vitals, medical conditions, and responses to the drug, therapy, and surroundings. Also, it models many dimensions of hospital facilities including the movement of doctors, patients, and more with real-time location tracking of systems, assets, and people. These factors are driving the growth of the market.
Higher System complexities
The development of an electrical digital twin requires multiple inputs from operators such as facility managers, design engineers, electrical engineers, and other parties, it adds complexity to the deployment. Also, obtaining the asset data poses a challenge. Another challenge is the complexity of the physical item that is to be replicated, for instance, processes such as customer relationship management, service delivery funnels, and more. In addition, any modification made to the physical system requires similar changes to its digital model and algorithms and the risk of errors may escalate with the increasing levels of complexity. Moreover, it includes software, hardware,e and process, which increases system complexity. These factors are the key hurdle for the market growth.
By Region
Asia-Pacific would exhibit the highest CAGR of 15.4% during 2020-2030
