Industrial equipment

Accelerate growth in industrial equipment markets

Industrial equipment is foundational to operations, productivity, safety, and sustainability, and demands strategic insights to seize opportunities and meet market needs in oil & gas, power, energy, and chemicals.

ADI Analytics empowers industrial OEMs, component suppliers, aftermarket service providers, and investors with expert insights and strategies to drive growth, develop competitive offerings, expand into new markets, and navigate evolving customer and market demands.

Industrial equipment drives core operations

Industrial equipment encompasses a vast array of mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems vital for operations in energy, process industries, infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing. This includes categories like rotating machinery, flow control systems, compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, automation and instrumentation, electrical components, and filtration technologies.

Demand for industrial equipment is evolving

Demand for industrial equipment is influenced by capital project cycles, asset maintenance needs, environmental compliance, and process innovation. Decarbonization, electrification, and digitalization are creating new requirements for low-emission, digitally integrated, and highly efficient systems. Simultaneously, supply chain disruptions, regulatory shifts, and pricing pressures are challenging both OEMs and end users.

OEMs are expanding their offerings

In recent years, OEMs have expanded beyond hardware to include services, monitoring, and digitally enabled solutions like remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and equipment-as-a-service models. Buyers are increasingly prioritizing lifecycle cost, equipment reliability, and integration with broader operational and digital strategies, prompting equipment providers to reevaluate their product portfolios, aftermarket positioning, and go-to-market strategies.

Success requires strategic differentiation

As industrial markets evolve, equipment providers must deeply understand customer application needs, navigate complex procurement dynamics, and respond to global investment trends. Success hinges on differentiating through technical performance, service responsiveness, commercial agility, and strong alignment with decarbonization and automation goals.
