Factory Automation Market Drivers and Opportunities
Government Initiatives and Investments Associated with Digital Transformation to Favor Market Growth
Government initiatives and investments in countries in the Middle East & Africa are playing a pivotal role in driving the adoption of factory automation technologies, fostering economic growth, and addressing industry-specific challenges. For instance, in 2022, Saudi Arabia unveiled the Saudi Advanced Manufacturing Hub strategy in partnership with the World Economic Forum. This strategic initiative aims to identify more than 800 investment opportunities, totaling US$ 273 billion, with the goal of initiating diversification within the industrial economy. By 2035, the strategy aims to elevate the total number of factories to 36,000, with ~4,000 of these facilities heavily reliant on automated equipment and digital capabilities. Further, in the UAE, The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) has incorporated smart manufacturing as a key priority within its national industrial strategy. In early to mid-2021, the MoIAT initiated a specialized Industry 4.0 program with the objective of expediting digital transformation within local manufacturing. This program is designed to enhance productivity as well as foster the development of innovative products. These combined efforts are aimed at achieving a minimum 30% increase in manufacturing productivity, with an anticipated economic contribution of approximately US$ 6.8 billion by 2031. Also, in June 2022, the Government of Abu Dhabi allocated an investment of US$ 2.72 billion toward six pivotal industrial programs, aiming to surpass double the size of the UAE’s manufacturing industry to a projected US$ 46 billion by 2031. Thus, the rise in government initiatives and investments associated with digital transformation fuels the Middle East and Africa factory automation market growth.
Demand for Soft-PLC
SoftPLCs are software-based versions of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It offers the combination of the functions of conventional PLCs with data loggers, communication gateways, and additional components, including human-machine interfaces (HMIs), SCADA systems, motion control, and web servers. In recent years, the demand for SoftPLCs has increased significantly across a wide range of industrial applications, including manufacturing, energy, factory automation, packing, building products and materials, semiconductors, and others. PLCs play a major role in industrial automation systems, offering control and monitoring capabilities for a wide range of processes. Security and safety are a major concern with any automation system, which increases the demand for SoftPLCs to fulfill the safety and security needs of industries.
