Market Trends of India Industrial Automation Industry
HMI to Witness the Growth
- A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is a user interface or dashboard whose primary function includes connecting a person to a machine, system, or device. HMI functions by communicating with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and input/output sensors to fetch and display important information in the form of graphs, charts, or digital dashboards, along with other functions such as viewing and managing alarms, and connecting with SCADA, ERP, and MES systems, all through one console. In the factory automation scope, major components that facilitate interaction with that machine include industrial control panels, industrial PC and display, machinery controls, touchscreens, keypads, switches, and software for controlling equipment.
- In industrial settings, HMIs are primarily utilized for Visually displaying data, tracking production time, trends, and tags, overseeing key performance indicators (KPIs), and monitoring machine inputs and outputs. These applications boost production rates, minimize hardware costs, ease managerial tasks, and reduce work-related accidents.
- HMI is extremely useful for industries related to manufacturing as it primarily needs customized programming according to the plant's specific requirements, and it is ready to monitor, control, and safeguard machines and operations without the need for human intervention in either simple or complex jobs.
- The growing use of HMI technology in all industrial organizations, such as energy, oil and gas, transportation, food and beverage, power, water and wastewater, manufacturing, recycling, and many more, as well as a wide range of the application of other companies to interact with their devices and optimize their industrial processes.

Factory Automation Market - Automotive Sector to Witness the Growth
- The automotive industry is one of the prominent sectors that hold a significant in the worldwide automated manufacturing facilities. It is observed that the production facilities of various automakers are automated to maintain accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, the growing trend of replacing conventional vehicles with EVs is expected to augment the automotive industry's demand further.
- According to the IBEF automobile industry report, the two-wheelers segment dominates the market in terms of volume due to a growing middle-class population, and a considerable percentage of India's population is young. Moreover, the rising interest of companies in examining the rural markets is further aiding the sector's growth. The growing logistics and passenger transportation industries are driving the demand for commercial vehicles. Future market growth is expected to be fueled by new trends, including the electrification of vehicles, particularly small passenger automobiles and three-wheelers.
- Furthermore, companies are using automated automotive assembly lines for manufacturing components such as motors, gearboxes, fuel systems, and pumps. Robotics and vision are best suited for creating ergonomic and efficient product lines that protect the human workforce from hazardous conditions while completing assembly quickly. Hence, the safety factor is also driving automation in the automotive industry of India.
- India is also a major auto exporter and has substantial export growth expectations for forecast period. Additionally, several initiatives by the Government of India, like the scrappage policy, Automotive Mission Plan 2026, and production-linked incentive schemes in the Indian market, are likely to make India a prominent player in the two-wheeler and four-wheeler markets.
