Demand for Fast Production Capacity Creates Need for Rampant Industrial Automation

A rapidly increasing demand for fast production capacities is primarily driving the global industrial automation market. Such a high demand mainly exists in terms of automotive assemblies, telecom networks, aircrafts, heat treating boilers and ovens, chemical plant machinery, steering and ship stabilization, and other machinery systems. Moreover, several companies are pouring large sums of money to facilitate research and developmental processes regarding industrial automation. This too has been responsible for propelling growth in the global industrial automation market.

Various industrial segments are adopting automation systems to reduce labor burden, consequently making the market grow at a respectable pace. Automation also brings into picture the implementation of various innovative solutions, compared to manual processes. All these factors are certainly expected to fuel the global industrial automation market, and make it thrive spectacularly and better than current times during the forthcoming years.

Lack of Awareness Regarding Automation Benefits Stunts Growth

However, steep costs required to set up systems for machinery production, as well as expensive research and development activities undertaken for the same is greatly hampering the global industrial automation market’s growth. High installation and maintenance expenses are discouraging small-scale plants and industries to avoid automation completely. Moreover, lack of awareness regarding benefits of automation in several regions too is posing as an obstacle to the market in several developing and emerging economies. Nevertheless, several end user segments such as pharmaceuticals, water management, chemicals, electronics, and food and beverages, are witnessing a rampant need for automation. This is certainly expected to soon reduce the effects of restraints affecting the global industrial automation market.
