Market Insights–Industrial Automation Control Market
Widespread Adoption of Industrial Automation in Diverse Industries
The penetration of industrial automation is gaining pace in diverse industries other than automotive. In the recent past, the non-automotive industries were very underpenetrated in comparison to automotive industry. With the increasing functionality of equipment such as industrial robots, it is anticipated that the non-automotive industries will further accelerate the adoption of industrial automation. Apart from industries, the penetration is also increasing among countries. Developed markets including China, US and Japan has higher penetration however, there is still a lot of opportunity available for the industrial market to grow further even in the developed markets. The prospective for further installations is remarkable in many of these countries, particularly in non-automotive industry, but also in automotive industries in developing markets. This growth is attributed to the necessary modernization and transformation required in these markets. These statistics are promising for manufacturers as it signifies the huge scope for further increase in adoption. It is expected that the low penetration will propel considerable growth during the forecast period, as long as there is a considerable support from the government to the manufacturers.
