  • Factory automation provides a compelling way to improve efficiency, quality, safety, sustainability, and security in a rapidly changing modern factory setting. Factory Automation & Industrial Control solutions cover the automation of an entire manufacturing facility via the design and construction of a fully integrated and intelligent control system, requiring sensors, instruments, computers, and data processing applications.
  • With a rapid increase in competition and evolving end-user requirements, manufacturing units in the region are forced to adopt newer technological innovations and digital transformation solutions to make their business process as efficient as possible. For instance, field devices, like motors and sensors, offer opportunities to the auto industry to react faster to market requirements, reduce manufacturing downtimes, enhance supply chain efficiency, and expand productivity.
  • The region is also adopting industrial automation in various industries, with significant firms launching industrial automation products in the market. For instance, Schneider Electric, a player in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, announced the ClimaSys smart ventilation system, an intelligent solution for filtering and managing the airflow for multiple control panels or electrical distribution cabinets in new or renovated applications. Moreover, sustainability in the manufacturing sector is expected to be a significant driver for the market studied.
  • Multiple major key vendors operating in the region are launching new updates to help grow smart factories with developments in factory automation and industrial control systems. Such technological advancement indicates the region's growth in the studied market.
  • The evolution of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) is expected to play a vital role in driving the industry's development into the digital era. With greater programming flexibility and convenience, scalability, more memory, smaller form factor, high-speed (Gigabit) Ethernet, and embedded wireless functionalities, future PLCs are poised to adapt technological improvements in software, communications, and hardware in the region.
  • Post-pandemic had a notable impact on European industries. The industrial sector was forced to restructure the way it operated significantly due to multiple restrictions imposed by the government and fluctuation in demand during covid. For instance, some industries had to either shut down their operation temporarily or were forced to operate with limited availability of a human workforce.
  • This sudden disruption, however, has significantly enhanced the awareness of the benefit of modern technologies such as automation, IIoT, and AI. As a result, various industries that earlier were reluctant to adopt these technologies, considering the high initial cost involved, are now open to increasing their investment. This shift in the mindset is expected to have a long-term impact on the growth of the studied market.
