The industrial automation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the industrial automation market has seen considerable growth in the past years. Its projected growth from $193.87 billion in 2024 to $205.11 billion in 2025 corresponds to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%.
The previously recorded growth can be linked to factors such as heightened robotics adoption, potent economic development in upcoming markets, governmental backing, and a rise in automotive production.
The industrial automation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of industrial automation is projected to experience robust growth in the coming years, expected to reach $290.14 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the forecast period include rising adoption of IoT, increased healthcare spending, a surge in demand from the agriculture industry, and an upswing in passenger air traffic. Key trends to watch during this period encompass the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for enhancing efficiency and bulking up production, an emphasis on edge and cloud computing for immediate data processing, adoption of 5g technology, a focus on cybersecurity solutions, and a shift towards cloud robots.
The burgeoning relevance of robotics is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the industrial automation sector. Robotics involves the conceptualization, production, and management of smart machinery to aid humans. It is progressively utilized in industrial automation procedures to manage a variety of processes and machinery within an industry with an aim to boost productivity, replace human effort, enhance speed, and overall performance. For instance, as reported by the International Federation of Robotics, a non-profit organization based in Germany, in April 2024, there was a surge of 12% in the total number of industrial robot installations in 2023, accumulating to 44,303 units. Consequently, the escalating importance of robotics is fueling the growth of the industrial automation industry.
