Global Process Automation and Instrumentation Market Analysis & Trends - Industry Forecast to 2030


Process Automation and Instrumentation: Market Size

From $80.2 billion in 2024, the global Process Automation and Instrumentation market is projected to reach $127.2 billion by 2030. Based on our analysis the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2024 - 2030 timeframe. Some of the prominent trends that the market is witnessing include rising need for efficient utilization of resources, growing trend of connected enterprises in process industries, and increasing utilization of IIOT across industries.

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.

By Instrument

Field Instruments Segment Dominate the Market in 2024
The field instruments segment made huge revenue in 2024 and growing its prominence during the forecast period. Field instruments assist in plant safety, managing plant assets, enhancing and optimizing overall production processes through data acquisition, control, and measurement. These instruments play a pivotal role in measuring and controlling process parameters in process industries. It is necessary to obtain key information regarding major parameters, including pressure, temperature, and level, to monitor and control processes quickly, smoothly, securely, and accurately, as well as to achieve optimum productivity. The constant release of advanced products to automate industrial processes and measure and control different process parameters is anticipated to propel the process automation and instrumentation market for field instruments.

By Geography

Asia Pacific Region is Leading in the Global Market Place
Asia Pacific region is likely to have a huge demand in the forecast period owing to the rising demand from the oil & gas and food & beverages industries due to the ever-increasing population in the region. There is a rise in the investments in clean energy infrastructure in Asia Pacific to meet escalating demand for electricity and reduce reliance on fossil fuels to generate energy. In addition, the process automation and instrumentation market for the pharmaceuticals industry in this region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast time frame due to changing regulatory environment. Moreover, the advantages such as higher reliability and flexibility and greater speed and accuracy offered by process automation encourage pharma companies to adopt process automation and instrumentation solutions.
