Global Power Plant Control System Market, By Plant Type

Coal segment dominates the global power plant control system market. Coal-fired power plants burn coal to make steam and the steam turns turbines (machines for generating rotary mechanical power) to generate electricity. Many industries and businesses have their power plants, and some use coal to generate electricity for their use and mostly in combined heat and power plants. In addition, coal-fired power plants play a vital role in the power plant control system market since power plant control system is heavily used in monitoring and controlling turbines and generators in coal-fired power plant.

COVID-19 analysis:

COVID-19 has impacted various industries due to shut down of different industrial operations and disrupted supply chain. Maximum companies halted their operation due to less workforce. Furthermore, import and export activities were significantly impacted, which, hampered the industries that used power plant control system and as a result affected the power plant control system market. The automotive, glass and gas industry has been negatively impacted by the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. This has further declined the power plant control system demand due to disrupted supply chain.
