Introduction of Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is a user interface that enables a person to connect with a machine, system, or device. Although the term can be used broadly to refer to any screen that facilitates user interaction with a device, it is most commonly used in industrial processes.
While HMIs are similar to Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), they are not interchangeable; they are often incorporated into HMIs to enhance visualisation capabilities.
The Growing Significance of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) Market in Industries
The focus on user interface quality is increasing in industrial corporations, and higher levels of functionality and interactions embedded in HMIs are driving the market growth.
HMIs are used in various industries, such as manufacturing, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, enabling the system's supervisory control and data acquisition. The increasing global oil consumption is also expected to drive market growth. The outbreak of COVID-19 significantly influenced global industrial spending, but the market has bounced back.
Asia-Pacific Expected to Drive HMI Market Growth
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow more in the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) market due to increased disposable income and population. China and Japan are the major manufacturing hubs of HMI equipment in the region, while India has emerged as a high-growth sector driven by the 'Make in India' initiative. The sales of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China have been consistently high, which will also drive the regional HMI market.
Conclusion
The HMI market is witnessing significant growth, driven by features such as alarm warnings, safe messaging, and improved internal communication. With the increasing focus on user interface quality, HMIs are increasingly incorporated into various industries, such as manufacturing, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the major contributor to the growth of the HMI market, led by China, Japan, and India.
