IO-Link is a short distance, digital, bi-directional, point-to-point communication protocol intended to be used in automation technology by connecting digital sensors and actuators to either an Ethernet communication protocol or a high-level fieldbus. It delivers the data from these sensors which can be utilized for monitoring that in turn helps in enhancing the resources being used in the various industries.

The growing focus on optimizing resources, increasing efficiency and reducing production costs, growth in digital industrial technology, government initiatives towards the adoption of industrial automation are the significant factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, availability of cloud interface in IO-Link and launch of IO-link safety specification in 2020 is expected to provide significant opportunities for the IO-link market in the forecast period. However, lack of standardization and the usage limitations of IO-link's in high-speed applications is anticipated to hamper the growth of the IO-link market.
