The factory automation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $244.33 billion in 2023 to $264.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The historical growth can be attributed to several factors including the surge in demand for control and safety systems, the development of 5G wireless technology, the adoption of Industry 4 initiatives, the increasing demand for automation to enhance quality, and the acceleration of digital transformation processes.
The factory automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $362.28 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The historical growth can be attributed to several factors including the increasing demand for efficiency within shorter timeframes, the expansion of the manufacturing and industrial sectors, the implementation of autonomous plants, the growing utilization of remote operations, and the increasing need for mass production with reduced operating costs. Key trends in the forecast period are expected to include technological advancements, the adoption of collaborative robotics, the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, as well as advancements in supply chain automation.
The factory automation market is set to experience significant growth, driven by the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial intelligence involves the emulation of human intelligence processes by machines, typically through computer systems, enabling them to perform tasks that traditionally require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. The increasing adoption of AI is propelled by technological advancements, greater data availability, industry demand for automation and efficiency, as well as increased investment and research in the field. Integrating artificial intelligence into factory automation systems allows manufacturers to achieve higher levels of efficiency, productivity, quality, flexibility, and safety, thereby gaining competitive advantages and improving business outcomes. For example, according to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport in January 2022, the AI adoption rate in UK enterprises increased from 15.1% in 2020 to 22.7% in 2025, with a projected adoption rate of 34.8% by 2040, involving 1.3 million businesses. Consequently, the adoption of artificial intelligence is fueling the growth of the factory automation market.
Key players in the factory automation market are focusing on developing innovative products to maintain their market positions. One such innovation is the development of ballbar devices, precision measurement tools used in metrology and precision engineering. In factory automation, ballbar devices are utilized to ensure the quality and precision of machined parts by detecting errors and deviations in the machine's motion and positioning. For instance, un May 2023, Renishaw plc, a UK-based engineering company, introduced the RCS product line comprising the RCS L-90, RCS T-90, and RCS P-series, supported by a dedicated software suite. The RCS L-90 is a ball-bar device that simplifies processes through its companion software suite to monitor robot health, reduce deployment times, and enhance robot system accuracy. The RCS T-90 system assists users in identifying underlying reasons for subpar robot performance through comprehensive testing and data gathering, while the RCS P-series integrates permanent Renishaw probing solutions within robot cells, applying in-process metrology and automatic recovery to automation processes.
