With such an influx of investments, the process automation market companies are employing the cumulative capital for the development of various automation equipment, and the market for the same is flourishing.
As per the findings of this IndustryARC report, the global process automation market size was at $65 billion in FY 2018. And, the demand is increasing at a progressive CAGR of 7% during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025. Although process automation market is flourishing throughout the world, the Asia-Pacific region has managed to grab the largest demand share of around 30% to 35% as of 2018. According to the IndustryARC market research report, the pharmaceutical sector is the key end-use industry where process automation is flourishing. The process automation market in the pharmaceutical industry projected to grow at a relatively higher CAGR of 8% during the aforementioned forecast period.
Process Automation Market Outlook
The aim to limit human interaction to achieve optimum accuracy has emerged as the prime reason for the process automation market growth. Technologies such as distributed control systems (DCS), manufacturing execution system (MES), local area network (LAN), remote terminal units (RTUs), programmable logic controller (PLC) and most importantly supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) are the leading aspects for the process automation market. Process automation plays an important role in business process management (BPM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP).
Process Automation Market Growth Drivers
Industrial automation or factory automation are some of the most prolific growth drivers of the process automation market. The emerging requirement for reducing human interaction in various processes in order to cut down labor costs as well as minimize errors has opened a room full of opportunities for automated systems in the industrial sector.
The imminent need for achieving the best possible results concerning accuracy is also one of the growth drivers for the process automation market. Various automation equipment installed in multiple industries such as pharmaceutical, electrical, manufacturing, and other sectors has achieved prominent results which are much more precise than the human implied operations.
Process Automation Market Trends
Technical giant Intel acquired Itseez Inc and Yogitech to bolster its automotive IoT profile. Furthermore, Microsoft acquired Italy originated company Solair, and Cisco acquired the start-up from California named Jasper for $1.4 billion. Evidently, acquisitions are in full force, showcasing major companies’ zest to stay ahead of the curve.
Process Automation Market Challenges
Process automation is estimated to reduce a significant amount of jobs for the regional population. Process automation in areas with industrial based employment will replace the man-force with automated equipment, which further will lead to unemployment among the people. This leap could affect the regional inhabitants at a massive scale.
Incorporating process automation in the manufacturing chain sometimes requires building high-level algorithms, and these algorithms are programmed to target a specific dataset. If there comes a data gap in the agile development process or automation, it could lead to an ambiguous process or development.
