Global Industrial Automation Software Market Overview
Industrial automation software is a technology that programs ordinary and repetitive tasks in organizations. It helps to reduce operational cost and manage workforce optimization. The industrial automation software comprises of various system and tools including control systems which consists of computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different machinery and processes in an industry to replace a human being. By combining industrial big data analytics, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, HMI & SCADA, technology, cybersecurity, the IIoT is boosting unprecedented levels of productivity, efficiency, and performance.
Drivers and Restraints:
The increasing need for improved productivity, efficiency, and speed required in the manufacturing process and proliferation of new digital industrial technologies such as industry 4.0 and industrial IoT are driving the growth of the industrial automation software market. Further, the introduction of robots in the manufacturing industry rapidly transformed the process of production that led to the generation of the demand for more automated solutions (both software and hardware). This leads to an increase in the manufacturing process and to generate actionable insight from it for production growth and for decreasing the production cost. However, reluctance in adoption of industrial automation software by SMEs and lack of knowledge and awareness about different industrial automation software hampers the growth of the target market. Nevertheless, the emergence of automation-driven industries in emerging countries creates growth opportunities in the industrial automation software market.
Segmentation:
The industrial automation software market is segmented based on the product, end-user industry, and region.
Based on product, the industrial automation software market is segmented into supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), distributed control system (DCS), manufacturing execution systems (MES), human-machine interface (HMI), and programmable logic controller (PLC). Based on end-user industry, the target market is segmented into the power industry, automotive industry, oil and gas industry, and other end-user industries.
On the region, the industrial automation software market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. In 2018, North America region holds the largest market share in the overall industrial automation software market, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific.
