Global Manufacturing Execution Systems Market in Process Industries 2016-2020

This industry research report presents a detailed segmentation of the global manufacturing execution systems market in process industries by end user (oil and gas industry, chemical industry, food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical industry, power generation industry, and others) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA). The key vendors in the market are Emerson Electric, GE, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, and Siemens.

Overview of the global manufacturing execution systems (MES) market in process industries

Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global manufacturing execution systems (MES) market in process industries will grow steadily at a CAGR of almost 17% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the enhanced integration between planning, operational, and execution software in process industries as one of the primary drivers for the growth of the MES solutions market. Integrating isolated manufacturing systems helps organizations produce adequate data to get an overarching look at how a company functions. Integrated systems also create a feedback information mechanism that can enhance the performance of the production process and the quality of manufactured parts. This will result in enhanced company agility and improved quality of transmitted information.

Since budget constraint and cuts make it difficult for small and medium enterprises to afford the initial investment for an MES, they are more comfortable with the concept of service-based technology architecture such as cloud. Moreover, transitioning to a cloud-based environment reduces costs, helps achieve greater flexibility, and enhances functionality. This benefits will lead to a rise in the number of process industries adopting cloud-based MES deployments.
