In April 2026, the industrial control market showed signs of recovery, with analog chip demand driven by AI data centers being particularly strong. Texas Instruments (TI) pointed out that industrial applications have been significantly warmer, and do not rule out the possibility of price increases in the second half of the year. In addition, the return of industrial control orders supports the steady growth of industrial equipment and component manufacturers (such as Reya). Wigan and Ten Quan continue to release new DDR5 high-computing storage products, focusing on high performance and data security.

The following is the latest industrial control industry dynamics in April 2026:

1. Chip and demand dynamics

Texas Instruments (TI)(April 23, 2026): The results of the first quarter of 2026 show that the demand for AI data centers has surged, and the demand for industrial control applications has rebounded significantly, and the scale of demand has exceeded the previous cycle. Due to the tightening of supply and demand, the possibility of price increases again in the second half of the year cannot be ruled out.

Heliya (3556) (2026/04/21): Industrial control orders returned, first-quarter revenue increased 23.07 year-on-year, operating outlook for moderate growth, indicating that the pace of pulling goods has returned to normal.

2. Industrial control products and technology updates

Wigan Industrial Control (ADATA): Released DDR5 6400 CU-DIMM and CSO-DIMM, and partnered with Advantech to focus on AI and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

Shiquan Technology (Teamgroup)(March 13, 2026): Launched U512T hardware write-proof mobile hard disk and P250Q one-click destruction of solid-state hard disk, focusing on high security protection of industrial control equipment.

3. Industrial safety (OT safety) warning

Critical Infrastructure Risk (February 3, 2026): Johnson Controls Metasys System Exposes CVSS Full Score Vulnerability, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics SCADA System Also at Risk. It is recommended that Taiwan's manufacturing and energy industries carry out a systematic assessment.

4. Industry trends

With the increasing demand for automation and intelligent manufacturing, industrial hardware and software continue to evolve towards high-performance, high-speed transmission (such as DDR5) and AI analysis functions.

All in all, the industrial control market in the second quarter of 2026 is coming out of the trough and growing steadily, supported by the demand for artificial intelligence applications and automation.
