The advanced process control market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.98 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing digital transformation in manufacturing, rising demand for predictive and adaptive control, expansion of cloud-based process control architectures, development of real-time analytics-driven optimization, growing adoption across pharmaceuticals and energy sectors. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of AI-driven predictive control models, development of intelligent manufacturing optimization systems, integration of cloud-based advanced control platforms, expansion of IoT-connected process monitoring, advancement of energy-efficient production control technologies.
The upsurge in chemical production is projected to be a significant driver for the advanced process control market. Chemicals are substances with distinct molecular compositions produced or used in various processes. Advanced process control in chemical production optimizes operational efficiency, elevates product quality, and ensures adherence to regulatory standards through real-time monitoring and automated process adjustments. For instance, as per the CIA Fourth Quarter Economic Report 2021 by the Chemical Industries Association, UK chemical production experienced a 1% expansion in 2022, followed by anticipated growth rates of 2.2% in 2023 and an estimated increase to 2.3% in 2024. Hence, the burgeoning chemical production sector is fueling growth in the advanced process control market.
Major companies within the advanced process control sector are directing their efforts towards developing cutting-edge AI solutions, such as AI-enabled autonomous well control systems, to bolster oil production efficiency. These sophisticated AI solutions leverage artificial intelligence to facilitate autonomous, real-time control over wells in the oil and gas industry. For instance, in October 2023, Halliburton, in partnership with AIQ and ADNOC, introduced RoboWell, the industry's inaugural AI-powered autonomous well control solution tailored for gas-lifted wells at ADNOC's North East Bab asset in Abu Dhabi. RoboWell harnesses real-time data to optimize production operations, prioritizing safety and minimizing disruptions. The solution automates critical tasks, empowering ADNOC to maintain optimal well flow rates by dynamically optimizing gas injection rates in real-time.
