Market Trends of Asia Pacific Process Automation Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Process Automation Market according to our research experts:
Pharmaceutical Industry is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- The pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated due to the importance placed on public health safety. Accuracy, repeatability, and control are the key benefits of an automated system, helping to enhance productivity, safety, and cleanliness in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. The need for process optimization, regulatory compliance, and enhancements in the supply chain are driving investment in automation technologies across the pharmaceutical industry.
- Moreover, an increase in the need for process automation solutions to various processes such as manufacturing, testing, drug development, packaging, and distribution are among the factors that are likely to propel the growth in the pharmaceutical industry in the process automation and instrumentation market.
- Additionally, many pharmaceutical companies have entered the market for process automation due to complex manufacturing processes such as milling, granulation, coating, and tablet pressing.
- Systems and processes in pharmaceutical units utilize concepts of batch automation and recipe management. If there is any slight change in the recipe or even a single ingredient is missing/added, the formula and composition of the drug change. This can seriously affect the health and lives of consumers. Process optimization and automation ensure that consistency is maintained in each batch.
- Further, automation offers better control of processes and the ability to monitor processes from remote locations. It assists in automatically creating reports, entering essential data, and sharing real-time information. Automation is transforming pharma concerning product development, commercial production, and real-time monitoring. It can foster manufacturing excellence by adopting sensors and systems to help companies achieve compliance at the lowest costs.

India is Expected to Account For Significant Market Share
- Fuelled by Industry 4.0, India continues to innovate and consolidate its position in the global market in the factory automation and industrial control systems industry. The embracing of smart technologies in the studied market has also positively impacted the national economy.
- Increased global manufacturing integration is raising the pressure for automation investment, as cost minimization with quality maximization looms ever more significantly as an operating paradigm for Indian manufacturers.
- With cyber-attacks increasing in smart factories in India, there is growing concern about using Industrial Control Systems. The government has plans to curb the rise of such crimes. This aligns with the growing trend of the usage of industrial control systems manufactured in the country for smart factories to avoid the risk of cybersecurity breaches. A company like Honeywell completes smart manufacturing solutions, including ERP and numerous others.
- Moreover, with investment roll-outs by the government to revive the pandemic hit India economy, infrastructure, and the electronics industry are marked as the primary beneficiaries alongside the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. The infrastructure and electronics industry are heavy users of the industrial control systems' hardware products and software solutions and are expected to have a direct positive effect.
- Further, technologies and terminologies such as process discovery, process optimization, process intelligence, and process orchestration are becoming a more significant part of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). There is an ongoing trend of increasing a closer relationship between business process management (BPM) and RPA in the future.
