Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Industrial Automation Software Market Driver
The emergence of automation software solutions on the cloud is notably driving market growth. The adoption of cloud-based automation software eliminates the expenses related to hardware and IT infrastructure of automation solutions such as MES and SCADA. The shift toward cloud-based solutions has enabled industrial units to significantly reduce costs, enhance functionality, and achieve greater flexibility.
The shift of functions such as analyzing and maintaining data from the operators to cloud service providers through cloud-based architecture enables the users to view data on devices such as tablets and smartphones. These devices are also used as portable HMIs to monitor remote machines and enable field technicians to access and control the process that is being followed. It is estimated that the adoption of cloud-based SCADA and MES solutions will reduce end-user's costs by up to 25% compared to on-premise SCADA solutions during the forecast period. Thus, the emergence of automation software solutions on the cloud will drive the market for industrial automation software during the forecast period.
Significant Industrial Automation Software Market Trend
Integration of PLM and ERP in industrial automation software is another factor driving the market growth. The integration of PLM and ERP helps manufacturers to develop and launch profitable products in the discrete manufacturing environment. The integration of PLM and ERP helps manufacturers to create a feedback information mechanism that can enhance the performance of the production process and the quality of manufactured parts.
The exchange of information between the two systems allows the adoption and tuning of the manufacturing process in a short time with improved performance. This integration will allow quick detection of the differences between the final product and the expected output (product). End-users are increasingly showing interest in this tri-system integration as it optimizes process and product design reduces the production cost and cycle time and increases the capacity to manufacture high-quality, innovative products. This improved reactivity enables end-users to better deal with market changes. These factors will positively impact the market during the forecast period.
Major Industrial Automation Software Market Challenge
Cybersecurity threats are the major challenge hindering the growth of the market. The primary cyber threats in the discrete industry include operational downtime, manipulation in the product development procedure, and theft of sensitive information. Most of the common attacks involved ransomware, with smart manufacturers becoming the prime targets. Industries such as medical devices, consumer durables, and automotive are quite sensitive, and with the increasing product patents and the high volume of confidential data, it is becoming very difficult for discrete industrial operators to adopt automated devices and IoT due to the increased risk of cyber threats.
Though automation software vendors are increasing the security level in automation software and solutions, upgrades and security suits increase the overall cost of the complete automation suits, thereby increasing the CAPEX for industrial manufacturers. Thus, the aforementioned factors will hinder the market during the forecast period.
