Enterprise Asset Management Market Dynamics

Trend

The key trend observed in the enterprise asset management market is the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) with EAM solutions. This can be attributed to the growing deployment of IoT in mobile devices like smartphones, personal digital assistance (PDAs), and laptops, globally. Companies such as SAP SE and IBM Corporation offers mobile EAM solutions in the form of an application software which enable workers to input the inspection data directly to the mobile application. In addition, integration of IoT with EAM provides identification of performance non-conformities, repair as well as replacement detection, and potential process control modifications.

Enterprises are inclined toward cloud-based EAM solution to streamline work and manage facilities. Cloud computing enable enterprises to lessen their overhead cost by reducing their investments in IT infrastructure. It also offers better technical support and services by integrating debugging and performance monitoring tools in the system, increased business agility, and enables maintenance personnel to be more mobile.

Driver

Enterprises require EAM for management of assets, buildings, machines, IT and other enterprise assets. Return on assets (ROA) shows how profitable a company’s assets are in generating revenue. EAM offers timely maintenance of assets that helps to prevent the malfunction of machines or equipment and thus, reduces machine downtime. EAM extends the life of assets that preserves capital and saves the environmental and financial impacts of decommissioning of the existing assets. EAM software optimizes the utilization and productivity of company resources and hence in turn increases the ROA.

Opportunity

One of the opportunities for the growth of players operating in the enterprise asset management market lies in the integration of AI and drone-based asset management. AI is used to improve data handling wherein data can be analyzed from the records which can enable mid-level management to make better and fasten the decision-making process. Further, drone-based asset management helps in collection of information from places that are out of human reach. The collected information can be given to system for further processes. For instance, drone-based enterprise asset management can be used in oil refineries, offshore oil drilling platforms, bridges, cargo ships, airplanes and railroad beds.
