The increasing demand for industrial robots in manufacturing is expected to drive the growth of the automation component market. Industrial robots are programmable machines used in tasks such as assembly, welding, painting, and material handling. Their rising use in manufacturing is fueled by their ability to enhance efficiency, precision, and productivity, while reducing labor costs and improving safety. The automation components improve the efficiency and functionality of these robots, optimizing manufacturing processes. For example, the World Robotics 2023 report, published by the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit, revealed that in 2022, Japan had 414,281 operational robots, Europe had 728,391, and the Americas had 491,535 units (+9%). In 2023, the U.S. accounted for 7% of global robot installations, which grew by 7%, surpassing 590,000 units. As a result, the growing demand for industrial robots is driving the expansion of the automation component market.

The automation component market consists of revenues earned by entities providing services such as manufacturing automation solutions, equipment maintenance, and system integration. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The automation component market also includes sales of individual automation components such as sensors, actuators, robotics, and control systems. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

An automation component is a fundamental part or element embedded within an automated system or process, tasked with executing particular functions to streamline and mechanize operations. These components exhibit variability contingent upon the type of automation system employed, typically encompassing hardware, software, or a fusion of both, meticulously crafted to carry out tasks with minimal human intervention.

The primary types of automation components encompass rollers, stages, linear shafts, bushings, linear guides, locating pins, bearings, gears, couplings, and other essential elements. Rollers are cylindrical devices utilized to facilitate the movement or conveyance of materials or products along a designated path within automated systems. This comprehensive solution integrates supervisory control and data acquisition, a programmable logic controller, a distributed control system, plant asset management, functional safety, product lifecycle management, and a manufacturing execution system. It finds application across diverse end-user industries including automotive, consumer electronics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, packaging, 3D printing, semiconductors, chemicals, and various others.
