Iran Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Market Trends:

Government Investments and Regulatory Support

The emphasis of the governing authority on updating and diversifying its economy is resulting in a strong prioritization of industrial development, especially in the energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure areas. Strategies aimed at encouraging the use of automation technologies, such as PLCs, are critical to this approach. In 2025, Iran's Ministry of Energy initiated 26 significant electricity infrastructure projects in Mazandaran province, estimated at $120 million. These initiatives, encompassing the improvement of transmission lines, substations, and the implementation of smart grid technology, seek to bolster energy security and capacity. Such efforts highlight the dedication of governing body in incorporating advanced automation technologies, such as PLCs, into essential infrastructure projects. Government-supported initiatives for domestic PLC production, along with incentives for international collaborations, further contribute to the Iran programmable logic controller (PLC) market growth. By investing in the digital transformation of its industries, Iran is witnessing a significant rise in the adoption of PLC systems nationwide, aiding both technological modernization and economic growth.

Integration with Renewable Energy Systems

Iran's heightened emphasis on renewable energy, especially solar and wind, is driving the need for PLCs to oversee these systems. PLCs play a vital role in overseeing, managing, and enhancing energy production and distribution in renewable energy facilities. With Iran making significant investments in renewable energy infrastructure to broaden its energy portfolio, the importance of PLCs in maintaining the efficiency and reliability of solar and wind energy systems grows increasingly vital. These control systems are essential for overseeing renewable energy integration, such as load balancing, energy storage, and grid connectivity. In 2025, Iran introduced 400 MW of additional solar capacity via nine projects in Yazd, Fars, Markazi, and Isfahan provinces, with the largest being the 200 MW Yazd solar facility. These efforts focus on alleviating energy deficits and increasing Iran's renewable energy potential, aligning with a wider objective of incorporating 10,000 MW of renewable energy by 2029. This increase in renewable energy capacity is driving the demand for PLCs, as they are essential for automating and optimizing the management of energy generation and distribution systems.

Demand for Automation in Agricultural Sector

Iran's farming sector is progressively integrating automation technologies, such as PLCs, to improve efficiency and address the growing needs of the populace. PLCs are utilized in multiple applications, including automating irrigation systems, controlling temperature in greenhouses, and overseeing livestock management. These systems help enhance resource utilization, minimize waste, and improve uniformity in agricultural output. The requirement for PLCs is increasing as the nation emphasizes enhancing food production efficiency and adopting sustainable agricultural methods. In 2025, within the third phase of its national crop pattern reform, Iran's Ministry of Agriculture initiated a smart farming system aimed at enhancing water efficiency and increasing crop productivity. This program, featuring more than 100 smart irrigation pilot projects, incorporates real-time farm monitoring, showcasing the government's dedication to updating agricultural practices. With Iran's ongoing initiatives to modernize agriculture for domestic and international markets, the adoption of PLCs is rising in Iran.
