Italy Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Market Trends:

Modernization of Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Water management continues to be a key focus in Italy, as outdated infrastructure and adherence to EU sustainability regulations are resulting in considerable investments in upgrading treatment plants. In 2024, UniAcque, the water operator in Bergamo, Italy, launched a major upgrade of the Bergamo wastewater treatment plant. The €30 million project, aimed at enhancing water treatment capacity, is partially funded by Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), with 50% of the cost covered by the European recovery fund. PLCs play a crucial role in these initiatives, guaranteeing dependable management of pumps, filtration processes, and chemical dosing to sustain stable water quality, enhance energy efficiency, and minimize human mistakes. Additionally, the combination of PLCs with remote control and Internet of Things (IoT) systems enables improved predictive maintenance and operational efficiency. The growing emphasis on updating infrastructure is supporting Italy's wider sustainability objectives while driving the need for sophisticated automation technologies

Expansion of Infrastructure and Transportation Projects

Public and private sector investments in infrastructure and transportation are contributing to the Italy programmable logic controller (PLC) market growth by increasing demand for advanced automation and control systems. Upgrading railway systems, enhancing airports, and extending port infrastructures all necessitate sophisticated automation solutions for safety, signaling, and operational management. In 2025, Italy announced a €2.1 billion investment to improve its rail infrastructure over two years. €1.6 billion will go towards maintenance and upgrades, while €500 million will support operational efficiency. In such projects, PLCs guarantee dependability and fault tolerance in these essential applications, where outages are expensive and dangerous. Urban infrastructure initiatives, such as intelligent traffic systems and automated services, rely on PLC integration to oversee intricate processes in real time. Italy’s focus on enhancing connectivity and logistics capacity to strengthen its role as a European trade hub is creating steady opportunities for PLC suppliers.

Gowing Demand in Renewable Energy Projects

The strong commitment of the country towards renewable energy is creating new opportunities for PLC adoption. Solar, wind, and biomass facilities need sophisticated control systems to effectively handle generation, storage, and grid integration. PLCs monitor turbine functions, enhance solar panel performance, and manage energy distribution in hybrid setups. With Italy seeking to expand renewable capacity in line with EU climate goals, automation technologies play a crucial role in maintaining reliable and economical operations. In 2025, RWE commissioned its first solar plant in Italy, the 8.3 MWac Bosco solar plant in Partinico, Sicily. The plant, equipped with 15,000 PV modules, will provide green electricity to 7,000 households. Such projects require PLCs to ensure stability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in energy distribution. With both large-scale installations and community-based projects increasingly relying on PLC solutions, Italy’s energy transition continues to strengthen demand for advanced automation technologies.
