Market Driver:

Emergence of Connected Enterprises and Requirement of Mass Manufacturing of Products

The emergence of the concept of connected enterprises is fueling the growth of the industrial automation market globally. In addition, efficient information flow across different units in industries is an important factor for enhanced production activities to enable manufacturers to understand the process of converting raw materials into finished goods in an improved manner with the help of IoT and IP networks. 

Furthermore, technological developments are expected to drive the growth of the studied market. For instance, in July 2022, Rockwell Automation, Inc., the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, announced the launch of the PowerFlex AC variable frequency drive portfolio in the Asia Pacific to support an array of motor control applications. This will provide customers with more flexibility, performance, and intelligence in their next-generation drive through TotalFORCE Technology. Thus, the market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

Growing Demand for Industrial IoT The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrial 4.0 are at the center of the new technological approaches for the development, production, and management of the entire logistics chain, otherwise known as smart factory automation, and are dominating the trends in the industrial sector, with machinery and devices being connected via internet. Further, brands such as Hyundai have invested heavily in smart mobility solutions to stay ahead of their competitors. With cars becoming smarter and more connected, having a company specializing in robotics and AI can be a great asset in the long run. In June 2021, Hyundai Motor Company confirmed that they had bought a controlling interest in Boston Dynamics from SoftBank. According to the deal, the American robotics developer has been valued at USD 1.1 billion, and Hyundai has 80% shares while SoftBank still owns 20%.

Market Restraints:

Trade Tensions and Implementation Challenges

Complexity and Integration: As automation systems become more advanced, integrating various components and technologies can become complex. Ensuring seamless communication between different devices and systems is a challenge.  However, it also comes with some challenges, such as high initial costs, maintenance issues, skills gaps, and ethical concerns. In this article, you will learn some strategies to overcome these challenges and make the most of industrial automation.

COVID-19 Impact on Industrial Automation Market

The market was disrupted when the COVID-19 epidemic forced the closure of enterprises and manufacturing facilities worldwide. Significant losses were incurred, particularly in the first two quarters of the year, as a result of the drop in demand for industrial automation systems in the manufacturing sectors. Fortunately, there have been encouraging signs of a resurgence in the first few months of 2021, owing to the reopening of the plants and the restart of industrial operations. Industry 4.0 technology advancements have increased demand for automated solutions like robots across a wide range of industrial industries.

Segmental Analysis : 

The Industrial Control System Is Expected to Drive the Growth Of The Studied Market.

An industrial control system is an electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control. Control systems can range in size from a few modular panel-mounted controllers to large interconnected and interactive distributed control systems with many thousands of field connections. With fewer manual requirements and greater productivity, an ICS helps you boost efficiency. Thus, the segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

The Pharmaceutical Automation Segment is Expected to Witness significant Growth Over the Forecast Period.

Pharmacy automation encompasses centralized or decentralized automated dispensing, packing, labeling, and other systems, which help reduce dispensing errors while improving the workflow efficiency of hospital nursing staff and pharmacies. Moreover, there is a growing demand for automated systems that help stock and inventory management. For instance, in March 2022, Capsa Healthcare expanded its suite of NexsysADC automated dispensing cabinets. Nexysys can accommodate any size of controlled and highly valued medications or supplies in two new sizes of controlled access module drawers. Thus, the segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

North America by Geographical Segment is Expected to Witness High Growth Over the Forecast Period

The automotive industry will similarly undergo a change fueled by digitization, rising automation, and new business models. Four disruptive technology-driven trends are emerging in the automobile industry as a result of these factors: diversified mobility, autonomous driving, electrification, and connection. However, market participants may face difficulties due to the growing popularity of rental and used car markets. Growing logistics and delivery services, along with the expansion of vehicle fleets by major e-commerce players like Amazon, etc., significantly impact the demand for commercial cars. The adoption of factory automation solutions can help these manufacturers in cost savings, enhance productivity, and improve quality. Recently, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) collaborated with Microsoft and launched the Go Digital program to help Canadian businesses invest in smart automation technologies and cloud solutions. The program is available to Canadian food manufacturers and will continue expanding to other industries.

In addition, in North America, orders for robots from automakers and component manufacturers accounted for 47% of all orders in the first quarter of 2022. Several automakers have announced investments better to outfit their plants for future electric drive car models or to boost battery production capacity. These significant initiatives will increase the demand for industrial robots in the coming years.
