Industrial Automation Control Market Drivers and Opportunities
Widespread Adoption of Industrial Automation Control in Diverse Industries
The penetration of industrial automation control is gaining pace in industries other than automotive. In the recent past, the non-automotive industries were very underpenetrated in comparison to the 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 control.
Apart from industries, the penetration is also increasing among countries. Developed markets, including China, the US, and Japan, have higher penetration; however, there is still a lot of opportunity available for the industrial market to grow further, even in the developed markets. For instance, in 2023, China accounted for 35% of gross production, which is nearly triple the gross production of the US and comes in second at 12%. The prospect of further installations is remarkable in many of these countries, particularly in the non-automotive industry. 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.
Rise in Government Support
The importance of government and policymakers in promoting industrial automation control has significantly increased as industries globally strive to improve efficiency and streamline manufacturing processes. As industrial automation control plays a pivotal role in driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution, governments and policymakers need to establish the appropriate support mechanisms and regulatory frameworks to foster its widespread adoption and growth. For instance, in India, the government has implemented several measures to strengthen the smart manufacturing sector, one of the key initiatives being the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. Launched in 2020, the PLI scheme targets 14 sectors, including automobiles, pharmaceuticals, textiles, food processing, and white goods, as part of a broader strategy to promote domestic manufacturing. The scheme is designed to encourage companies to adopt smart manufacturing practices by offering financial incentives to those that produce goods locally and meet specific investment, sales, and export criteria. This initiative aims to enhance the competitiveness of these companies and, in turn, elevate the overall value of India's manufacturing sector.
Similarly, in the US, in 2023, the Department of Energy (DoE) announced a US$ 22 million initiative to support 12 state-run programs to expedite the adoption of smart manufacturing at small- and medium-sized facilities. This initiative, funded by the President's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, intends to enhance access to smart manufacturing technologies and high-performance computing within the US manufacturing sector. Furthermore, in August 2023, The Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute shortlisted eight new short-cycle technology projects and plans to award a total contribution of approximately US$ 3.26 million for funding through its 23-01 Technology Project Call. Such initiatives are expected to offer a significant opportunity to boost the smart manufacturing sector, thereby fueling the industrial automation control market growth.
