The industrial automation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $210.68 billion in 2025 to $226.25 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to manufacturing process standardization, demand for higher production efficiency, reduction of manual labor dependency, improvement in workplace safety, growth of mass production.
The industrial automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $302.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of AI driven automation, shortage of skilled labor, expansion of connected manufacturing ecosystems, focus on operational cost optimization, rising investments in smart infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include smart factory adoption, industrial robotics integration, real time process monitoring, predictive maintenance systems, flexible manufacturing automation.
The growing importance of robotics is expected to drive the expansion of the industrial automation market. Robotics involves the design, manufacture, and operation of intelligent machines that assist humans. Its application in industrial automation is becoming more prevalent, as robots are used to manage various processes and machinery, enhancing efficiency, replacing manual labor, and improving speed and overall performance. For example, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, reported that in 2023, the total number of industrial robot installations increased by 12%, reaching 44,303 units. Thus, the rising significance of robotics is fueling growth in the industrial automation market.
Major companies operating in the industrial automation market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as AI enabled vision based piece picking systems, to increase throughput, enhance manufacturing flexibility, and address labor shortages. AI enabled vision-based piece picking systems combine 3D cameras, computer vision algorithms, and robotic arms to autonomously identify, grasp, and sort randomly placed items, unlike traditional robotic systems that rely on fixed item placement, rigid grippers, and pre-programmed trajectories. For instance, in May 2024, Consorzio Macchine Utensili, an Italy-based industrial automation company, launched its S Family of 6 axis articulated robots along with the vision-based piece picking system MI.RA or OnePicker, an innovative solution for arc welding, handling, and random-object sorting applications. The system integrates vision sensors with AI-powered motion planning and object recognition, features IP68-rated compact robots with flexible mounting options, and supports high-density deployment in confined spaces. Its applications span arc welding, assembly, food & beverage, foundry, battery manufacturing, and general material handling, offering benefits such as optimized space utilization, faster adaptation to mixed production, and reduced downtime and reprogramming efforts.
