The continuously growing demand for factory automation has compelled the market players to raise investments in the development of new and innovative products and software offerings. A few of the major product developments are mentioned below:

  • In September 2022, Fanuc Corporation announced the launch of new FANUC SCARA robots for food and cleanroom applications. The FANUC SR-3iA/C and SR-6iA/C are fast and precise Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) robots making them ideal for use in food plants and clean rooms. The robots consist of white epoxy coating for extra durability and IP54 protection guarding against the ingress of contamination from dust and water spray.
  • In August 2022, Rockwell Automation, Inc. announced the enhancement in the compact PowerFlex Drive. The PowerFlex 6000T drive can accept up to 13.8 kV primary voltage, which is nearly twice the input voltage. Its real-time operational intelligence can monitor system performance, save energy with economizer mode, deliver faster commissioning with adaptive control, and reduce downtime and repair costs with predictive maintenance alerts.
  • In June 2022, Honeywell International Inc. introduced Experion PKS Release 520.2. The system consists of new process automation features and functionality. It also helps expand the functionality of Control HIVE and allows automation projects to be deployed flexibly and resiliently.
  • In May 2022, FANUC Corporation announced the launch of CRX collaborative robots. This series added three new collaborative robots—CRX-5iA, CRX-20iA/L, and CRX-25iA cobots. They are safe, reliable, easy-to-use, and versatile solutions for inspection, packing, machine load/unloading, palletizing, and welding.
  • In October 2021, Emerson Electric Co. introduced a new ASCO Series 062 Rocker Isolation Valve. These valves are designed especially for fluid control manifolds in the clinical laboratory. It is designed with a 16mm compact size, allowing easy integration into complex fluid-handling manifolds. Also, it offers two-way and three-way functionality, maximizing flexibility and versatility.

North America Factory Automation Market: by Component

Based on component, the North America factory automation market is bifurcated into hardware and software. In 2021, the hardware segment accounted for a larger share in the market. The rapid adoption of robots across several industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, food & beverage, and energy, to automate various production processes drives the market growth for the segment. Moreover, small & medium manufacturing plants across the region are increasingly adopting sensors, controllers, and switches for automating temperature control, pressure control, real-time machine update, and other tasks. However, the market for the software segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR over the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on North America Factory Automation Market

North America experienced a rise in demand for automated solutions from Q2 of 2020 as the government bodies eased their restrictions and allowed manufacturing units to operate with low capacity. The rise in labor shortage and the requirement to adhere to the safety norms outlined by the regional government bodies propelled the demand for automated solutions across many industries, such as automotive, food & beverages, printing, manufacturing, and mining. Thus, the rise in demand for automated solutions across the region is aiding the market to revive from the negative impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.

To continue production operations with minimum workforce even post COVID-19 crisis, companies are increasingly investing in automated technologies such as robots. According to the data published by Association for Advancing Automation (A3) in 2022, North America experienced a 28% increase in robots sales in 2021 compared to 2020.
