The application of advanced automation control systems is one of the critical reasons that will drive the industrial automation market in chemical and petrochemical industry. There is an increase in the need for fast and accurate systems in the process and discrete industries. This is resulting in the emergence of technologically advanced automation control systems. These systems have features such as faster processors and increased memory capacity. They are extensively used to perform complex production processes carried out in the chemical and petrochemical industry. Also, issues such as space limitation and process complexity with conventional PLCs can be overcome with the help of customized PLCs for small, medium, and large machines used in this industry.

Industrial Automation Market Segmentation

The global industrial automation market segmentation is based on the type, technology, end user, and geographical region.

Industrial Automation Market By Type

• Fixed Automation
• Programmable Automation

In terms of type, the market has been split into fixed automation and programmable automation. According to the industrial automation industry analysis, the fixed automation segment is expected to increase at a significant rate in the market over the next few years. Fixed automation, also referred to as hard automation, relates to a computerized manufacturing facility in which the order of processing processes is determined by the machinery setup. Furthermore, implementing a fixed automation system, such as robotic conveyor systems, and incorporating value-added initiatives to minimize both time and labor costs in their installation, relieves competitive forces on the business, rises profit margins, and keeps users one step ahead of its competitors.

Industrial Automation Market By Technology 

• SCADA
• PAC
• PLC
• DCS
• HMI

The DCS segment will account for the significant share of the industrial automation market in chemical and petrochemical industry due to the growing adoption of DCS in chemical and petrochemical plants. This is due to their ability to control and monitor process variables such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate through the production process.

Industrial Automation Market By End User

• Machine Manufacturing
• Oil & Gas
• Aerospace & Defense
• Electronics
• Automotive
• Pharmaceuticals
• Others

In terms of end users, machine manufacturing segment is predicted to witness a gradual growth over the forecast amount.  Automation empowers small American businesses to stand toe-to-toe with entrenched rivals around the globe. With greater technical know-how and stronger strategy, these firms can continue to produce quality goods at reasonable costs. End-to-end factory automation will double or even triple production compared to plants that use only a few automation systems. Not only that, but equipment can often be kept running for longer periods of time with comparatively very little impact on the maintenance outlook. This lets companies outperform even rivals with a lot of simpler or low-quality goods.
