Smart Pneumatics Global Market Report 2024

The smart pneumatics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.42 billion in 2023 to $4.75 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the demand for industrial automation, the emphasis on energy efficiency, the need for predictive maintenance solutions, the adoption of cost-effective technologies, and the rise of digital twins in the industrial sector.

The smart pneumatics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as increasing healthcare expenditure, a rise in the geriatric population, the growth of healthcare infrastructure, and the emphasis on precision and durability in medical equipment. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), incorporation of edge computing, adoption of cloud-based solutions, implementation of cybersecurity measures, and the development of predictive diagnostics and health monitoring technologies.

The anticipated increase in the production of commercial vehicles is poised to drive the growth of the smart pneumatics market. Commercial vehicles, designed for transporting goods rather than passengers, incorporate smart pneumatics in essential systems such as braking, suspension, and gearboxes. This integration plays a crucial role in predictive maintenance, monitoring, and enhancing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Notably, the European Union witnessed a rise in commercial vehicle counts from 36 million in 2020 to 36.7 million in 2021, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association. Consequently, the heightened production of commercial vehicles propels the growth of the smart pneumatics market.

The growing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to be a driving force behind the smart pneumatics market. The IoT involves the integration of interconnected devices capable of collecting, exchanging, and utilizing data to enhance functionality and automate processes. In the context of smart pneumatics, IoT integration includes incorporating sensors and connectivity within pneumatic systems, enabling real-time monitoring, data analysis, and remote control. As per a report by Ericsson, global IoT connections reached 13.2 billion in 2022 and are projected to increase by 18% to 34.7 billion connections by 2028. Hence, the increasing adoption of IoT serves as a catalyst for the smart pneumatics market.

A notable trend in the smart pneumatics market is the emphasis on product innovation by major companies to maintain their market standing. For instance, in January 2021, Graco Inc., a US-based producer of fluid handling products, introduced the Intelligent Paint Kitchen (IPK) control for agitators and pumps with pneumatic motors. The IPK is a sophisticated network of sensors, actuators, and automation modules that collaborate to enhance paint accessibility and circulation. With features such as monitoring and controlling pump flow, pressure rates, and stirrer speed, IPK contributes to operational efficiency, reduced compressed air usage, and energy cost savings across various industries.

Major companies in the smart pneumatics market are directing their efforts towards technological advancements, particularly in IoT-integrated data communication devices, to improve control precision and optimize industrial automation processes.
