Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Industrial Automation Market

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the industrial automation market players experienced supply chain disruptions in 2020 due to various containment measures enforced by the governments. The crisis also affected their production performances that year. The emergence of the COVID-19 virus has impacted the revenue stream and operations of automated solution manufacturers across the globe. For instance, the outbreak of COVID-19 significantly impacted the operations of ABB Ltd, which led to an increase in the backlog of orders in 2020. Meanwhile, the demand from automotive end users was at the lower side in 2020. This negatively impacted the industrial automation market size in 2020. However, due to the ongoing skilled labor shortage, nonautomotive end users—such as electronics and metal & machinery—have showcased a positive trend in adopting automation solutions such as robots and sensors from Q1 of 2021. Moreover, the pandemic could not affect the market much as the introduction of Industry 4.0 is propelling businesses across various sectors to a higher level of IoT technology and workflow. From mid-2021, the supply chains of industrial automation players stabilized, and the industrial automation market size began experiencing growth from 2022.
