Machine control systems minimize machine and field breakdown while also allowing for more effective resource utilization. Failure of heavy machinery at a building site can cause delays in work and result in substantial monetary losses. Machine control systems confirm that construction equipment is precisely controlled and monitored, resulting in maximum efficiency and faster quality control at the work site. As a result, investment in machine control systems facilitates time-saving, eradicates project failures, and enhances machine installation prices, all of which are anticipated to contribute to the machine control market growth during the forecast period.

The rise of automation technology is creating opportunities for the adoption of machine control systems among numerous end-user industries. For instance, the extensive adoption of 3D visualization is improving the operational activities in the construction industry. The increasing rate of commercial construction projects across developed regions is boosting the machine control system market growth. The machine control system market is growing because of augmented investments by the government and private organizations in the development of commercial structures and infrastructural developments. The construction sites offer employment to thousands of workers. The increasing awareness about safety measures is boosting the demand for machine control systems in the construction sector.

Companies are focused on developing less complicated machines and achieving higher productivity by introducing progressive technologies to their systems. For instance, in September 2022, part of Hexagon, Leica Geosystems, launched a novel Leica iCON site excavator. This machine-control solution enables compact excavators to carry out designs easily and accurately. Further, the iCON site excavator application is available for a wide range of iCON field controllers in numerous sizes. These new GNSS receivers and communication devices are designed specifically for compact machines, allowing more flexibility to adjust to different sites and project requirements. Such initiatives by market players are anticipated to boost the machine control system market growth during the forecast period.

Machine Control System Market Regional Analysis:

The Asia Pacific machine control system market is segmented into Australia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and New Zealand. Asia Pacific is witnessing strong economic growth, which is raising demand for infrastructure development and diversified projects that rely on machine control systems. Furthermore, large government investments in infrastructure projects such as road construction, bridge construction, and airport expansion are opening up new markets for machine control system sales. Japan has one of the best metropolitan infrastructures in the world. The Japanese government gave the go-ahead to build a new nuclear power facility in August 2022. Notably, in light of the worldwide energy crisis, the building and development of the new nuclear plant will assist the nation in lowering its dependency on energy imports.

The Australian construction industry amounts to US$ 112 billion per year and accounts for roughly 9% of GDP. Further, the Australian government is taking several steps to develop the infrastructure. Moreover, as of February 2021, Infrastructure Australia (IA) released its infrastructure priority list, adding a record 44 new infrastructure proposals. IA has the responsibility to strategically audit Australia's nationally significant infrastructure and develop 15-year rolling plans that specify national and state-level priorities. Thus, such government initiatives in developing construction drive the growth of the machine control system market, as it is used in several processes, such as extraction and loading.

The construction sector is a significant factor in the Japanese economy, accounting for nearly 5.5% of the GDP in 2021. Reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Tokyo Olympics have both contributed to the industry's overall upward trend over the last decade. While there are over 470,000 registered construction firms in Japan, Super Zenecon, a group of five large general contractors including Obayashi Corporation, Tasei Corporation, Kajima Corporation, Shimizu Corporation, and Taneka Corporation, dominates the industry. They work in a variety of industries, including construction, architectural design, and research and development. Thus, such a huge construction sector and the presence of large construction contractors propels the growth of the machine control system market.

With the use of various machine control technologies, governments in China and India have undertaken several programs to upgrade aged infrastructure such as highways, bridges, sewage systems, and tunnels. For example, the Chinese government is assisting in the development of the Tibetan Expressway, Qinghai-Tibet railway, and the One Belt One Road (OBOR) projects, all of which are projected to benefit the machine control system market. Moreover, the South Korean government declared in February 2021 that it will construct 830,000 homes nationwide up to 2025, including 323,000 in Seoul and 293,000 in the surrounding regions of Incheon and Gyeonggi Province. Thus, such construction activities in the region are expected to propel the growth of the machine control system market.
