Middle East And Africa Process Automation Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Middle East And Africa Process Automation Market Analysis

The Middle East And Africa Process Automation Market size is estimated at USD 6.15 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 7.93 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.22% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Automation has become an essential part of modern manufacturing and industrial processes. It helps enterprises to realize priorities. Companies in the region are automating their operations with the help of different technologies like SCADA, DCS, MES, and PLC. The demand for these technologies is escalating, and many vendors are manufacturing solutions to help enterprises achieve higher efficiency in their manufacturing processes.

• Automation of manufacturing processes offers various benefits, such as effortless monitoring, reduction of waste, and production speed. This technology provides customers with improved quality with standardization and dependable products within time and at a much lower cost.
• Connecting the industrial machinery and equipment and obtaining real-time data have played a vital role in the adoption of SCADA, HMI, PLC systems, and software that offer visualization, thus enabling reducing the faults in the product, reducing downtime, scheduling maintenance, and switching from being in the reactive state to predictive and prescriptive stages for decision-making.
• The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrial 4.0 are at the center of new technological approaches for the development, production, and management of the entire logistics chain, otherwise known as smart factory automation. They dominate industrial sector trends, with machinery and devices being connected via the internet.
• Further, modernizing internal processes with automation and better access to information about operations and maintenance will help the industry streamline production and distribution and allow for a higher yield in the region.
• Increased government spending on new technologies is expected to make Saudi Arabia one of the major countries in the Middle East in the factory automation and industrial control system industry. As a result, Industry 4.0 is important for the future of national automation and manufacturing.
• Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision aims for a new phase of industry and automation by exploiting the country’s position, strategic partnerships, energy resources, and logistics. It also seeks to automate the country’s renewable energy and industrial manufacturing sectors by 2030 and manufacture 50% of its needs within the country.
