Overview of the MES market in EMEA
MES automation software helps manufacturing industries to improve operational performance by automating, executing, and managing various processes. The report predicts that the MES market in EMEA would grow at a CAGR of around 10% by the end of the forecast period. The rising demand for mass production in various industries in the EMEA region has led to the surge in adoption of MES software. Countries like England, Germany, and France, which have a big manufacturing presence have been among the early adopters of MES solutions. The growth of the oil and gas exploration industries of African nations have also contributed to the growth of the MES market.
Another driver for the growth of the EMEA market is the demand for customized MES solutions in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, and paper industries. For instance, the integration of digital systems in the healthcare industry has created a high demand for MES solutions.
However, the MES market in EMEA faces many challenges, especially the high capital investment required for implementing the MES solutions. Installation, renovation, faster approval of batches, and easy access needs a high amount of CAPEX to build and to regularize the processes. The high investment factor is in turn deterring many small and large enterprises to adopt MES solutions.
Leading vendors in the MES market
The MES market in EMEA provides high market penetration opportunities for both local and international vendors. With the increase in industrialization in this region, the demand for MES solutions is expected to surge. However, the availability of open source MES solutions such as Lean MES, Pinata MES, and Factority MES pose a threat to enterprises who provide commercial versions of the MES software.
The five leading MES companies are:
- GE
- Schneider Electric
- Siemens
- Dassault
- Rockwell Automation
Other prominent vendors in the MES market include ABB, Applied Material, Aspen, Emerson, EYELITE, SAP, Honeywell, Oracle, and Werum.
Segmentation by end users and the MES market analysis
- Process industries
- Discrete industries
The market share of the discrete industry segment in the MES market is around 59%, as per the MES market forecast report. Most of the revenue generated in this segment comes from automotive, aerospace and defense, electrical and electronics and medical equipment industries. The process industry segment comprises of food, beverages, chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and paint industries.
