The industrial automation market size is projected to reach US$ 322.67 billion by 2030 from US$ 171.23 billion in 2022. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.2% during 2022–2030. The adoption of the Industry 4.0 concept is likely to remain a key trend in the market.
In addition to the growing adoption of AI and machine learning, the industrial automation market is being propelled by the increasing convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). This integration is enabling manufacturers to gain greater visibility into operations, improve decision-making, and achieve enhanced control over production processes. Smart sensors, connected devices, and industrial IoT platforms are generating vast amounts of real-time data, which, when analyzed using AI algorithms, support predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and process optimization. Governments in both developed and emerging economies are recognizing the strategic importance of automation in boosting productivity, minimizing human error, and enhancing workplace safety. As a result, several national programs—such as Germany’s Industry 4.0, China’s Made in China 2025, and India’s Make in India initiative—are actively incentivizing investments in automation technologies. Furthermore, the incorporation of machine vision systems with deep learning capabilities is enhancing quality inspection and defect detection across industries such as electronics, automotive, and food & beverage. The growing demand for personalized, high-quality products delivered quickly and cost-effectively is further encouraging businesses to adopt automated and digital manufacturing solutions. As industrial operations become more complex, scalable automation solutions will play a critical role in maintaining competitiveness, agility, and resilience in global markets.
Industrial automation replaces human intervention by using control systems such as robots, computers, and information technology to operate various machinery in an industry. Depending on the operations involved, industrial automation control systems are divided into two categories: process plant automation and manufacturing automation. Industrial automation improves product quality, reliability, and production rate while lowering manufacturing and design costs through the use of new, innovative, and integrated technologies and services. They have a variety of characteristics, including high productivity, quality, flexibility, and information correctness, which are projected to promote the use of automation in the industrial sector during the forecast period. Furthermore, the spike in the adoption of automation solutions in oil and gas, manufacturing, chemicals and materials, pharmaceuticals, and other industries is pushing industrial automation.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming manufacturing in incredible ways. AI enables machines to learn, adapt, and make decisions autonomously. Manufacturers utilize the technology to uncover asset patterns and anomalies to optimize production and save downtime. For example, incorporating AI into industrial robots and drones enhances precision and aids in activities such as inspection, maintenance, and material handling. This decreases the need for human involvement, lowers the danger of accidents, increases maintenance efficiency, and extends equipment life. Moreover, operations technology (OT) engineers who are familiar with operations and equipment are increasingly using sophisticated AI technologies with visual, point-and-click user interfaces (UI). The availability of prebuilt machine learning (ML) apps and industrial demand for automation is fueling the market.
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are immersive technologies that enable real-time information sharing to aid worker training, eliminate human errors, and boost performance. That implies VR and AR may add significant commercial value by improving worker safety, increasing productivity, and reducing downtime. AR can aid industrial enterprises by facilitating return-to-work measures such as remote collaboration, remote assistance, augmented work instructions, and 3D training. AR is also assisting with longer-term, future-of-work strategies aimed at closing the skills gap and driving significant gains. Augmented reality is becoming increasingly important in the workplace.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the industrial automation market analysis are component, system, and end user.
