Industrial PCs Held 21% of Europe's Embedded Market in 2025 — and the Supply Chain Under Them Is Being Rebuilt
A Research and Markets report published on September 14 sizes Europe's industrial embedded systems market at USD 6.1 billion in 2025, with industrial PCs holding an estimated 21% share.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act entered into force on 10 December 2024. Its reporting obligations apply as of 11 September 2026 and its main obligations from 11 December 2027.
