Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The manufacturers are slowly witnessing the brunt of excessive demand fluctuation and rising overall operational expenditure (OPEX) as the market dynamics in some of the leading process and discrete industries are changing significantly.
For Instance, factors such as the fluctuating prices of oil and gas and metal in the global market, the Russia-Ukraine war, a slowdown in the global automotive industry, and a shortage of skilled workforce have directly affected the overall OPEX and profitability of manufacturing companies. This sudden and unprecedented shift in market dynamics can significantly impact manufacturing processes unless manufacturers adopt effective safety mechanisms against such critical risks. Thus, such factors can drive the growth of the industrial automation market during the forecast period.
In 2019, the automation software segment witnessed faster growth than the automation hardware segment in the global industrial automation market.
The declining dependence on hardware and the wide acceptance of software applications has increased the demand for automation software. Thus, to scale up their market reach, OEMs of automation software and industrial control systems are trying to acquire system integrators. On the other hand, some vendors are focusing on single automation products, such as digitalization, to capitalize on the rising demand for IIoT.Thus this trend is expected to have a high impact on the growth of the industrial automation market during the forecast period.
Due to the advancement of IIoT, also referred to as Industry 4.0 in the automation context, design challenges at the control level have increased significantly. Even though IIoT provides a range of benefits such as real-time communication and reliability, increasing the overall efficiency of industrial automation and smart maintenance distributed intelligence systems for manufacturing and factory automation, it comes with certain challenges as well.
Due to the increasing adoption of IoT-enabled devices, manufacturers and system integrators are facing design challenges in factory automation. Although different levels in Industry 4.0 have their set of design challenges, the challenges related to control-level designing are extremely complex. Thus the above factors can impede the growth of the industrial automation market during the forecast period.
The SCDA segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period.One of the key functions of the SCADA include monitoring and gathering real-time data; interacting with devices such as sensors, pumps, valves, and other monitoring devices; and recording the events in a log file. As the manufacturing activities in the process and discrete industries include the use of diverse field instruments such as valves, drives, relays, switches, and sensors and are scattered across different locations in a manufacturing plant, it is important to analyze the data generated by these devices to gain real-time insights for data-driven decision-making to streamline the entire plant process.

The SCDA segment was valued at USD 34.68 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Thus SCDA systems provide easy access to real-time data and enhance the data-driven decision-making capabilities of plant operators, businesses,or governments. Also, the increasing need to control, monitor, and visualize the entire process, specifically to optimize the cost and achieve operational efficiency, is a factor for the growth of SCDA systems in process and discrete industries. Hence, this can significantly increase the growth of this segment and thereby fuel the growth of the industrial automation market during the forecast period.
Based on end-user, the market has been segmented into the process industry and the discrete industry. Process industries mainly include the oil and gas, power, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, chemical and petrochemical, mining and metal, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries. Due to the increasing use of SCADA, PLC, DCS, and drives in major process industries, such as oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical, and power, the process industry segment holds a dominant share in the global industrial automation market. One of the key reasons for the growth of automation software demand in the oil and gas industry is the need for remote monitoring for the discovery of a great number of deep-water oil and gas fields. Therefore, this can significantly increase the growth of this segment and thereby fuel the growth of the industrial automation market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 42% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.
The main contributors of the growth of the industrial automation market in APAC are countries such as China, Japan, India, Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia, and Australia. Due to the strong industrial base and increasing investments in the power, water and wastewater treatment, and food and beverage industries, China, Japan, South Korea, and India are the largest markets for industrial automation. Factors such as the high demand for energy is resulting in the commencement of several oil and gas projects, demand for industrial automation will be led by increasing investments in liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing activities that can fuel the growth of the global industrial automation market in the region.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a temporary closure of end-user industries such as oil and gas, power plants, and chemicals. As a result, there was a decline in the demand for industrial automation technology from vendors, which negatively impacted the growth of the industrial automation software market in APAC. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the resumption of operations in end-user industries such as oil and gas, power plants, chemicals, and others. Such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
Vendors are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
