Lean manufacturing is the methodology to reduce waste without sacrificing productivity in a manufacturing system. Both lean manufacturing and manufacturing automation share the same goals of removing low-value or non-value activities, reducing waste, and producing predictable quality. The high growth of demand-driven automation technologies in a discrete manufacturing environment enables operators to maintain records of multi-step production operations. This emphasizes replacing paper-based record maintenance, procedure manuals, and data sheets with electronic documents focusing on green production. Consequently, the need for advanced production optimization tools, such as MES, SCADA, PLCs, and DCS, is increasingly felt by manufacturers.
Moreover, as automation control systems facilitate operations on a real-time basis, they provide updated information to operators on the shop floor. This enables a more detailed recording of process data, conditions, and results; it also controls the manufacturing process, thereby reducing the defect rate. It supports the timely execution of production processes while responding and reporting on plant activities as they occur, thereby reducing and eliminating unnecessary activities. Hence, an increasing shift toward lean manufacturing is expected to drive the growth of the global automation and instrumentation market during the forecast period.
The process of generating patterns or trends by analyzing huge volumes of data is called big data analytics. This technology is not only confined to the IT industry but is also used in discrete industries like medical device manufacturing, automotive, semiconductor, and electronics industries. Automated systems like SCADA, MES, and DCS generate a lot of data, and the adoption of IoT in manufacturing has raised the total amount of data generated by a single factory. In the highly competitive Indian market, manufacturers must leverage their market presence by pairing their IoT and big data analytics with manufacturing processes and value chains to stay ahead of their competitors.
Moreover, the growing digitalization will help the global process automation and instrumentation market observe the rising adoption of IoT-enabled devices and big data analytics, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the global process automation and instrumentation market during the forecast period.
The process and discrete industries are migrating toward complete automation by using smart manufacturing technologies. Automated systems such as MES integrate other control systems like the SCADA network with enterprise resource planning (ERP) to increase productivity and minimize the risk of product failure. The adoption of IIoT and connected technologies has eased the operation process, but they have increased the risks of cybersecurity in operational processes. Industrial automation and instrumentation ease many tasks for manufacturers. However, they are prone to cyber threats. Hackers exploit confidential corporate information by attacking classified networks within organizations. The primary cyber threats in the discrete industry include operational downtime, manipulation in the product development procedure, and theft of sensitive information.
However, most of the common attacks entailed ransomware, and smart manufacturers are becoming the prime targets. In industries such as medical devices, consumer durables, and automotive industries, production processes are very sensitive; with the growing number of product patents and high volume of confidential data, it is becoming very difficult for discrete industrial operators to adopt automated devices and IoT due to the looming threat of cyber-attacks. Thus, increasing cyber security threats can become a major challenge for the growth of the global process automation and instrumentation market during the forecast period.
The market share growth of the oil and gas segment will be significant during the forecast period. The global process automation and instrumentation market is expected to witness significant expansion in the oil and gas segment as an end-user during the forecast period. Several factors, such as the rising need for energy, continued exploration efforts, and the industry's growing focus on operational effectiveness and safety, are to blame for this.

The oil and gas segment was the largest and was valued at USD 20.33 billion in 2018. Governments have a major influence on the development of this situation. For instance, the US Department of Energy makes investments in cutting-edge process automation technologies to improve the sustainability and efficiency of oil and gas operations. Similarly, the Vision 2030 plan of Saudi Arabia intends to encourage automation and digitization in the oil and gas industry while also diversifying the country's economy. Process automation and instrumentation solutions are predicted to become increasingly in demand in the oil and gas sector as a result of these initiatives and expanding global energy consumption. This is expected to increase the adoption of process automation and instrumentation solutions in the oil and gas end-user segment, which in turn will drive the growth of the global process automation and instrumentation market during the forecast period.
Based on type, the market has been segmented into process automation and process instrumentation. The process automation segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?Process automation mechanizes production processes by incorporating field devices and controlling devices in plants. Automation solutions include DCS, SCADA, PLC, and MES, which help end-users optimize their business operations by effectively controlling production processes. The industrial automation market in India is mainly driven by the business imperative to use resources efficiently, improve productivity, and optimize plant operations. Government regulations that seek to control carbon dioxide emissions by limiting power consumption and the need to minimize the wastage of raw materials are also expected to drive the global process automation and instrumentation market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 37% to the growth by 2028. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period. In APAC, it is expected that the process automation and instrumentation market will witness growth during the forecast period as the region is investing constant efforts in the development of industries and improving the work efficiency of industries. The adoption of automation has been slow in the region due to factors such as the presence of cost-conscious industries that have limitations in terms of financial availability. The availability of low-cost industrial workers is the other major factor that has affected the adoption of process automation and instrumentation solutions in APAC. In addition, the intensity of the awareness of process automation and its implementation has been low when compared with other geographies.
In addition, certain process automation summits are being held in the region to facilitate and support the field of automation and the adoption of process automation in industries. Some governments like India are launching initiatives to promote Industry 4.0 in the region. Such initiatives increase awareness about Industry 4.0 in the Indian manufacturing industry through demonstration centers. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the process automation and instrumentation market in APAC during the forecast period.
The process automation and instrumentation market in APAC faced a few challenges in 2020.
