Africa Industrial Process Automation Market by Component (Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Distributed Control System (DCS), Programmable Logic Control (PLC), Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA), by End user (Oil & Gas, Chemicals & Refining, Energy & Power, Pulp & Paper, Metals & Mining, Pharmaceutical, Cement & Glass, and Others) – Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023–2030


Africa Industrial Process Automation Market was valued at USD 474.68 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 1396.2 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 12.0% from 2023 to 2030.

Government initiatives aimed at encouraging the use of renewable energy sources are a significant factor that drives industrial process automation market expansion. For instance, in February 2023, Burkina Faso's Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Quarries (MEMC), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) launched the Burkina Faso National Project of the Africa Minigrids Program (AMP).

The project seeks to increase access to clean energy by promoting large-scale commercial investment in solar photovoltaic mini-grids in Burkina Faso while improving their financial viability. Solar photovoltaic mini-grids are small-scale, decentralized electricity generation and distribution systems that use solar energy to generate electricity. They typically consist of solar panels, batteries for energy storage, inverters, and distribution networks.

However, Lack of standardization is a significant challenge that can restrain the growth of the industrial process automation market. In the absence of standards, vendors may create proprietary systems that are difficult to replace or upgrade. This may lead to vendor lock-in, as companies become reliant on the technology of a particular vendor, limiting their ability to work with different vendors.

Vendor lock-in can lead to higher costs, lower flexibility, and less innovation, which can negatively impact the growth of the industrial process automation market. Companies may be hesitant to invest in automation systems if they are concerned about being locked into a particular vendor's technology, limiting the growth of the market.

On the other hand, the increasing adoption of cloud-based automation solutions presents a significant growth opportunity for the industrial process automation industry. These solutions offer several benefits such as increased efficiency, productivity, and profitability for businesses. They can be easily scaled up or down, making them suitable for businesses of all sizes.

Additionally, cloud-based solutions provide greater control and visibility into industrial processes, and can significantly reduce the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading hardware, software, and infrastructure.

Cloud-based automation solutions can significantly reduce the costs associated with maintaining & upgrading hardware, software, and infrastructure. As a result, companies can focus on their core competencies and invest resources in other areas of their business. With several companies investing in cloud-based solutions for managing and utilizing 3D data obtained from reality capture devices, it is evident that there is a growing interest in adopting these technologies.

For instance, in January 2022, Accenture strategically invested through Accenture Ventures, in Cintoo, a provider of cloud-based solutions to manage and utilize 3D data obtained from reality capture devices. As a result, continued growth and innovation in the industrial process automation industry is expected in the future.
