Market Insights

Automation in manufacturing has increased as a main driver for the growth of the industrial control and factory automation market. An increase in the demand for industrial control and factory automation contributes to the increasing need for advanced equipment for better technical purposes. Automated goods not only boost efficiency, they also manufacture them at lower production costs, increasing the average margin of productivity of the manufacturer. Industrial control and factory automation market growth are propelled by a need for high production and yields, a shortage of work and increased emphasis on increased efficiency and exactness to achieve high yields and productivity. Automation has been an important part of the manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, coal, rail and transport sectors and will also contribute to the development of the global industrial control and factory automation markets in those sectors. In addition, government initiatives to assist new technologies industries will also boost the industrial control and factory automation market during the forecast period.

The high initial installation cost and lack of awareness of the quality of finished products made with automation, however, will operate as restraints on the global industrial control and factory automation market. Furthermore, the limited availability for the automation and control processes by skilled professionals may also serve as a constraint to this market.
