Industrial Automation Oil and Gas Global Market Report 2024

The industrial automation oil and gas market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.82 billion in 2023 to $18.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the digitization of the oil and gas industry, a heightened emphasis on operational efficiency, the growth in exploration and production activities, the imperative for safety and compliance, and the expansion of offshore drilling.

The industrial automation oil and gas market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.82 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the demand for remote monitoring and control, the widespread adoption of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, the expansion of unconventional oil and gas resources, the implementation of advanced process control (APC), the increasing prevalence of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), a heightened emphasis on cybersecurity in industrial automation, the adoption of cloud-based automation solutions, and the increased use of wireless sensor networks. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advances in control systems and sensors, the integration of artificial intelligence in automation, the rise of robotics and autonomous systems, a focus on energy efficiency and sustainability, collaboration between automation providers and oil companies, the development of digital twins for asset management, and the utilization of augmented reality in training and maintenance.

The anticipated growth of the industrial automation oil and gas market is driven by the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is a networked system that connects various computing devices, electronic machinery, and sensors, allowing them to transfer data without direct human interaction. Integration of IoT devices and sensors into different components and processes of the oil and gas industry enables real-time monitoring and data collection. This facilitates efficient tracking of equipment performance, environmental conditions, and safety parameters, leading to improved predictive maintenance and reduced downtime. As per a report by the Global Mobile Supplier Association (GSA) in March 2023, global IoT connections reached 13.2 billion in 2022 and are projected to grow by 18% to 34.7 billion by 2028. Thus, the increasing utilization of the IoT is a key driver for the industrial automation oil and gas market.

The growth of the industrial automation oil and gas market is further expected to be boosted by the growing energy demand. Energy demand refers to the amount of energy required within a specified period by individuals, industries, or nations. The oil and gas industry invests in advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency, optimize resource utilization, and ensure consistent, reliable production in response to rising energy demand. According to an April 2023 report by the Energy Information Administration, the United States is projected to experience increased energy consumption across all forms, with an expected growth ranging from 0% to 15% from 2022 to 2050. The industrial sector's energy consumption is anticipated to rise by approximately 5% to 32% during the same period. Therefore, the growing energy demand is a significant factor driving the growth of the industrial automation oil and gas market.

A prominent trend in the industrial automation oil and gas market is the focus on product innovations by major companies. These companies are introducing cutting-edge software tools in the oil and gas industry to maintain their market positions. For instance, GE Digital LLC, a U.S.-based company specializing in data analysis and software development services, launched the Accelerator tools in June 2022. These tools include best-in-class software tools designed to help companies in asset-intensive energy industries quickly configure their asset performance management (APM) and other offerings. The tools aim to expedite time-to-value, scale APM to a broader range of assets, and assist organizations in gaining financial value across facilities and the enterprise. The Accelerator tools are applicable throughout the entire energy value chain, from oil and gas to power-generating assets, encompassing renewable energy and conventional gas power and nuclear production facilities.

Major companies in the industrial automation oil and gas market are also developing advanced technologies, such as real-time monitoring solutions, to cater to larger customer bases, increase sales, and drive revenue growth. Real-time monitoring involves continuous, instantaneous tracking and analysis of data, events, or processes as they occur. In August 2022, TWMA, a UK-based drilling waste management company, launched the XLink solution, a unique hardware and software system upgrade for enhanced wellsite drill cutting processing in the oil and gas industry. This solution offers increased automation, deeper insights, and real-time data monitoring to boost operational efficiency. XLink features a patent-pending air mixing system, XLink CST automation, retrofitted into the cuttings, storage, and transfer tank (CST). It conditions drill cuttings without manual intervention, significantly reducing personnel on board (POB) requirements. Additionally, XLink enables offshore automation for POB reduction and allows live monitoring of drilling waste operations worldwide.

In April 2023, Roeslein & Associates Inc., a U.S.-based company providing engineering, modular manufacturing, and construction services, acquired Method Flow Products LLC for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition expands Roeslein's resource consortium with six additional locations in the United States and 71 specialized services and skilled artisans. The goal is to diversify business into new markets and expand the application of prefabricated and preassembled modular systems into new industries. Method Flow Products LLC, a U.S.-based manufacturer of oil and gas monitoring and automation products, brings expertise in equipment installation, servicing, and measuring calibration to enhance Roeslein's capabilities.
