Global Process Automation and Instrumentation Market: Market Dynamics
The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing importance of cost optimization, increased productivity, minimized errors and better scalability; the increasing use of digital technologies such as machine learning, and artificial intelligence; and the rising emphasis on industrial automation and optimum utilization of resources. Industries are actively adopting process automation and instrumentation solutions across their production sites to streamline industry operations, achieve enhanced productivity, and reduce labor-related costs. The rising adoption of IoT across various industries and shift in production process from conventional to digital is another factor stimulating growth of this market in coming years.
On the other hand, the high implementation and maintenance costs, shortage of skilled personnel, and security threats are likely to obstruct the profit boundaries. In addition, growing need for efficient multivariable pressure transmitters and rising adoption of industry 4.0 by manufacturing firms will further boost for the process automation and instrumentation market.
Impact of COVID-19 on Process Automation and Instrumentation
The COVID-19 pandemic had negatively impacted the growth of the process automation and instrumentation market in 2020 owing to the disruptions in the supply chain and a decline in demand. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has forced many businesses to limit their production and halt most of their operations. During this crisis, the main objective of the companies was to sustain their businesses by finding safer ways to continue manufacturing operations or find other sustainable ways to get the revenue stream flowing. The future impact is uncertain and depends on the spread of COVID-19 or the success of control measures undertaken to curb the spread of the virus.
