The global industrial automation market exhibits a highly cutthroat competition mainly due to the presence of innumerable players, observes Transparency Market Research based on a newly published report. The fragmented nature of this market’s vendor landscape depicts most players integrating their products with advanced technologies. With an increasing demand for industrial-grade products occurring in almost every sector, a high requirement for automation that can help mass produce commodities is being felt all over the globe. This has caused a spike in the number of players entering the industrial automation market, which is certainly expected to increase the competitive intensity during the upcoming years.

Developing products that deliver functional transformation and commercial excellence is expected to be a key strategy adopted by most players working in the global industrial automation market to stay ahead in the competition. Key players working in this market are: Toshiba Machine Corporation Ltd., Rockwell Automation, Inc., FANUC Corporation, Yaskawa Electric Corporation, Yokogawa Electric Corporation, Emerson Electric Company, BB Ltd., Honeywell International Inc Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Voith GmbH, and General Electric Company, among several others.

Demand for Fast Production Capacity Creates Need for Rampant Industrial Automation

A rapidly increasing demand for fast production capacities is primarily driving the global industrial automation market. Such a high demand mainly exists in terms of automotive assemblies, telecom networks, aircrafts, heat treating boilers and ovens, chemical plant machinery, steering and ship stabilization, and other machinery systems. Moreover, several companies are pouring large sums of money to facilitate research and developmental processes regarding industrial automation. This too has been responsible for propelling growth in the global industrial automation market.

Various industrial segments are adopting automation systems to reduce labor burden, consequently making the market grow at a respectable pace. Automation also brings into picture the implementation of various innovative solutions, compared to manual processes. All these factors are certainly expected to fuel the global industrial automation market, and make it thrive spectacularly and better than current times during the forthcoming years.

Lack of Awareness Regarding Automation Benefits Stunts Growth

However, steep costs required to set up systems for machinery production, as well as expensive research and development activities undertaken for the same is greatly hampering the global industrial automation market’s growth. High installation and maintenance expenses are discouraging small-scale plants and industries to avoid automation completely. Moreover, lack of awareness regarding benefits of automation in several regions too is posing as an obstacle to the market in several developing and emerging economies. Nevertheless, several end user segments such as pharmaceuticals, water management, chemicals, electronics, and food and beverages, are witnessing a rampant need for automation. This is certainly expected to soon reduce the effects of restraints affecting the global industrial automation market.

Rising Adoption of Technologies Will Aid Growth

The increasing adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) based smart robots, IoT, industrial 4.0 and others will contribute to the Industrial Automation Market trends during the forecast period. The demand for technologies owing to its low manufacturing cost and enhanced quality and reliability will clearly have a positive impact on the market. The rising acquisitions and mergers by key players will create new growth opportunities for the Industrial Automation Market. For instance, Siemens AG acquired mendix, a low-code application developer company. This acquisition was completed to strengthen its digital enterprise business segment. Moreover, the collaboration between Rockwell Automation and Plug and Play will aid the Industrial Automation Market growth during the forecast period. For instance, Rockwell Automation collaborated with Plug and Play, an innovation platform. This collaboration helps Rockwell Automation to find new opportunities to leverage disruptive industrial IoT technologies.

Increasing Demand for Robots Will Favor Growth

The increasing demand for AI-based industrial robots in various applications such as part transfer, pick and place, packaging, semiconductor manufacturing and others will stimulate growth of the market. For instance, robots are used for self-optimization of the production lines and customized product solutions in the discrete automation industry. Furthermore, the collaboration of Schneider Electric with Stäubli Robotics will accelerate growth of the Industrial Automation Market. For instance, in April 2018, Schneider Electric, France based company, collaborated with Stäubli Robotics to integrate robotics solutions into EcoStruxure smart machines by combining products and software into complete automated solutions. In addition, the partnership of Siemens AG with Alibaba Cloud will encourage growth of the market. For instance, Siemens AG partnered with Alibaba Cloud to develop the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions in China.
