Japan 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

Japan Industrial Process Automation Market was valued at USD 1.37 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 3.10 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 9.08% from 2023 to 2030.

The government has been actively promoting the use of industrial process automation through various policies, including the Robot Revolution Initiative and the Society 5.0 vision. The Robot Revolution Initiative aims to promote the use of robots and automation technologies in various industrial sectors to increase productivity and address labour shortages.

On the other hand, the Society 5.0 vision is a concept developed by the Japanese government to guide the country's future socio-economic development. Society 5.0 integrates advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create a sustainable, smart, and inclusive society. These initiatives provide support to companies and organizations to develop & implement automation systems, including DCS, PLC, and SCADA, to increase efficiency, productivity, and safety.

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.
