The global factory automation market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. With the advent of AI and IoT, the market is primarily supported by an increasing inclination toward automated production processes. In addition, there have been a number of government-led projects aimed at promoting automation in collaboration with the private sector. For instance, in 2018, NITI Aayog collaborated with ABB to propose digitalization solutions incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies across various sectors of the economy, including power and water utilities, food and heavy industries, transportation (rail and metro), and infrastructure. The plan also includes the rapidly expanding field of electric mobility.

The key players of the market include ABB Ltd., Honeywell International, Inc., Emerson Electric Co., Schneider Electric SE, Siemens AG, and others.  To maintain a strong position in the market, these market players adopt various strategies such as product launches, partnerships, collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions. For instance, in April 2021, Google Cloud and Siemens collaborated to streamline production operations and boost shop floor efficiency. Siemens plans to integrate Google Cloud's top data cloud and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) capabilities with its factory automation solutions to assist manufacturers in the manufacturing process.
