The machinery and industrial automation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the upcoming years, the machinery and industrial automation market is forecasted to experience a significant increase in size. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%, it is projected to reach a value of $304.52 billion by 2029.
The anticipated growth over this forecast period can be credited to several factors such as the rising adoption of IoT and AI technologies, emphasis on energy efficiency, digital transformation, developments in smart manufacturing, resilient supply chains, and the increasing need for remote monitoring solutions. Notable trends during this forecast period are projected to be the adoption of advanced AR technology, demand for safety automation products, industrial PC market growth, and an amplified focus deployed towards energy-efficient solutions.
Anticipated expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) usage is believed to spur the machinery and industrial automation sector's progress. IoT is a term for a network of linked devices and objects equipped with sensors, software, and other technologies. This surging IoT uptake is powered by its potential to increase connectivity, facilitate data-based insights, and boost efficiency across different sectors. IoT boosts machinery and industrial automation by offering smooth connectivity and information exchange, enhancing efficiency, and allowing for real-time monitoring and administering. For example, as reported by IoT Analytics in their State of IoT—Spring 2023 report, worldwide IoT connections witnessed an 18% rise in 2022, reaching 14.3 billion active terminals. In 2023, the number of linked IoT devices is expected to go up by an additional 16%, hitting 16.7 billion active terminals globally. Hence, the escalating adoption of IoT is stimulating the growth of the machinery and industrial automation sector.
