What Is Covered Under Industrial Automation Market?

Industrial automation is used to control and monitor a process, machine, or device in a computerized manner that will fulfill repetitive functions or tasks. They are designed to operate automatically to reduce and improve human work in the industry. They are operated using logical programming commands and powerful machinery. The main components of industrial automation are industrial robots, human-machine interfaces (HMI), industrial sensors, control valves, and other components. Industrial automation uses HMIs to monitor machinery to make sure it's working properly and also; they are helpful in the maintenance of the machinery in the industries. They use various control systems such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic controller (PLC), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), component lifecycle management (PLM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and human-machine interface (HMI) that are used by aerospace and defense, automotive, healthcare, energy and utilities, manufacturing food and beverages, oil and gas, mining, transportation, and other industries.

What Is The Industrial Automation Market Growth Forecast?

The industrial automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $302.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of AI driven automation, shortage of skilled labor, expansion of connected manufacturing ecosystems, focus on operational cost optimization, rising investments in smart infrastructure.

Global Industrial Automation Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the industrial automation market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as AI enabled vision based piece picking systems, to increase throughput, enhance manufacturing flexibility, and address labor shortages. AI enabled vision-based piece picking systems combine 3D cameras, computer vision algorithms, and robotic arms to autonomously identify, grasp, and sort randomly placed items, unlike traditional robotic systems that rely on fixed item placement, rigid grippers, and pre-programmed trajectories. For instance, in May 2024, Consorzio Macchine Utensili, an Italy-based industrial automation company, launched its S Family of 6 axis articulated robots along with the vision-based piece picking system MI.RA or OnePicker, an innovative solution for arc welding, handling, and random-object sorting applications. The system integrates vision sensors with AI-powered motion planning and object recognition, features IP68-rated compact robots with flexible mounting options, and supports high-density deployment in confined spaces. Its applications span arc welding, assembly, food & beverage, foundry, battery manufacturing, and general material handling, offering benefits such as optimized space utilization, faster adaptation to mixed production, and reduced downtime and reprogramming efforts.
