The global process automation market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 7.5% during the forecast period. The major players contributing to the market growth include rising industrialization and emerging demand for robotic process automation. Growing industrialization has been witnessed in emerging countries owing to the government initiatives to promote the manufacturing sector. In May 2015, the Chinese government introduced Made in China (MIC) 2025 initiative which comprises a range of state-backed programs that aims to accelerate productivity, modernize the Chinese economy, and make innovations in industrial processes. The MIC 2025 plan signifies that the country’s manufacturing sector is large, however, it lacks in quality of industrial infrastructure, innovation capacity, degree of digitalization, and the effectiveness of resource utilization.

Under the plan, the Chinese government seeks to carry out the task of upgrade infrastructure and leverage technological developments. MIC 2025 aims to move China in the manufacturing value chain through smart manufacturing and advanced manufacturing technologies. The increasing focus on advances in process automation is leading to the emerging adoption of process automation technologies to increase productivity and efficiency in the manufacturing sector. Companies associated with the manufacturing sector is significantly implementing robots to conduct everyday production operations in the plant.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is software that is combined with business processes to automate some activities, reduce human errors, and accelerate productivity. Audi, a German automaker is focusing on developing software robots to perform monotonous tasks for employees at PC workstations. In the manufacturing plants of Audi, humans and machines have been working together over the years. Now, PC workstations employees are also getting support from robots in the form of a digital assistant referred to as Audi my Mate. The rising integration of human and machine to facilitate production and back-office work is driving the growth of the market. The advent of Industry 4.0 is offering an opportunity for market growth.

Market Segmentation

The global process automation market is classified into technology, component, and end-user industry. Based on technology, the market is classified into supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), human-machine interface (HMI), distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic controller (PLC), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and others. Based on the component, the market is classified into hardware and software and service. Based on end-user industry, the market is classified into oil and gas, electrical and electronics, chemical, retail, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and life sciences, manufacturing, automobile, and others.

Manufacturing industry is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period

Significant rise in paper and pulp and metal industry is expected to contribute significantly to the market growth during the forecast period. the World Steel Association forecasted on its release of Short Range Outlook in April 2019 that the global demand for steel will reach 1,735 million tonnes in 2019, a rise of 1.3% over 2018. This has led owing to the significant demand for steel products in several industries such as automobile, oil and gas, medical device, and construction industry. The rising demand for metal products has led the manufacturers to focus on automation in plants. Quality, economic efficiency, and reliability in the development of steel products can be achieved through automated production facilities.

Process automation technologies can support in several metallurgy applications, including hot and cold rolling, yard to melt shop, processing lines and to market. The use of distributed control system (DCS) enables to meet different customer needs from PLC functionality up to high-end rolling mill controller such as complete process integration, electrical and safety, technological controls, mathematical models and simulation packages, to attain superior results with fewer resources. DCS systems also offer advanced visualization and diagnostics to look for the complex needs in metals applications. This allows operators to access real-time data that supports faster decision-making and strategic action.

Regional Outlook

The global process automation market is segmented based on regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). North America is expected to hold a significant share in the market owing to the considerable automation across the industries and the presence of major retailers, such as Walmart, Amazon, and Kroger in the region. These companies are expanding the use of robots to handle several repetitive tasks at stores. Walmart is using robots to perform functions including checking inventory, maintenance of the store, sorting products and meeting online orders, allowing store associates to spend more time to serve the customers on the sales floor. This, in turn, is contributing to the market growth in the region.
