The Global Process Automation & Instrumentation Market size is expected to reach $80.5 billion by 2026, rising at a market growth of 3% CAGR during the forecast period. This market's growth is propelled by factors such as the increasing value of energy conservation and cost reduction, focus on digitized technology such as IIoT, increased acceptance of industrial automation and maximum resource use.
Automation can be described as the smooth and efficient implementation of tasks utilizing automated machinery and computers. Automation can be split loosely into three output-based forms, viz. Mass or flow, versatile and batch, or work automation. If the design is not versatile, and the output is high, then it is categorized as mass and flow. If the performance is low, and the process takes place in different batches, it is called batch automation. Unless the production is low, and the design varies according to the requirements of the company, then the classification is called flexible or job.
Instrumentation applies to the instruments used for detection, calculation, regulation, and tracking purposes. Throughout the modern years, different forms of automation have been created such as IT, Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Robotics, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) and Numerically Controlled (NC) equipment and tools.
Automation and instrumentation complement each other as devices are to be used for the purpose of automation. The need for efficiency increases through sectors has driven businesses to embrace automation in order to achieve a competitive edge over other competitors. High-risk job environments that need unique and reasonable treatment result in unnecessary human labour. Lower labour costs are therefore expected to perform a positive role in assisting the worldwide demand for automation instrumentation throughout the forecast period. Increasing labour costs have driven businesses to introduce automation with a view to streamlining their manufacturing processes and growing their dependence on expensive human labour.
