Global Industrial Automation Services Market Customer Landscape
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 increasing focus on predictive maintenance is notably driving market growth. The need for data collection and analysis to address challenging maintenance tasks has increased the demand for IoT-enabled devices. The operation of the entire plant can be monitored with the help of IoT-enabled devices like steam trap monitors and wireless acoustic transmitters. Industrial operators can compare the effectiveness and performance of machines using the data on available systems and machines. This allows operators to plan maintenance tasks more effectively and decrease overall downtime caused by unplanned machine failure.
Industries that use a large number of automation control systems and instruments in their operations benefit especially from IoT-enabled devices. As a result, industrial operators' top priority now is to monitor automation systems and equipment. As this suite helps in anticipating maintenance activities without affecting the manufacturing process, automation solution providers are concentrating on after-sales services and software for plant and asset lifecycle management in addition to providing automation hardware and software. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Value chain integration by automation solution providers is an emerging trend in market growth. There is a sizable installed base of automation hardware and software in the process industries. The competition among established market vendors has gotten more fierce as a result of the rising demand for automation solutions. As a result, vendors of automation solutions are putting more emphasis on providing software solutions and after-sales services in order to stand out from the competition and grow their market presence. Some providers of automation solutions are expanding their product lines by including automation software and systems, whereas significant providers of automation software are integrating with providers of automation services.
System integrators are the main component in the supply chain and have a better geographic reach, so original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of automation software and control systems are attempting to acquire them. The current market situation is fragmented, vendors are increasingly engaging in horizontal integration, and this trend is expected to have a high impact on the market consolidation ratio. Thus all such factors will fuel the global market growth during the forecast period.
The challenges in managing multiple contracts are the major issues impeding market growth. The majority of end-user industries are attempting to choose longer service agreements for any minor device or component from a single service provider. The instrumentation and automation products installed in plant facilities are bought from various automation vendors. As a result, the servicing and maintenance manuals for the automation hardware and software are different. Additionally, by communicating with the operators and comprehending the application requirements, the development process of automation software and hardware has been concentrated on creating domain-specific engineering approaches.
Domain-specific engineering approaches, however, frequently ignore the aspects of operation and maintenance, which makes servicing more difficult for automation service providers. It becomes challenging for automation service providers to manage the servicing of automation systems as they must deal with numerous contracts for various field instruments and plant automation software. Thus, challenges in managing multiple contracts are one of the major challenges for the growth of the global 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.
