According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Computer-integrated Manufacturing Market is accounted for $9.59 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $18.60 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period. The manufacturing approach, known as computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), uses computers to manage the entire production process. CIM aims to improve efficiency, productivity, and flexibility in manufacturing operations. It offers numerous advantages, including increased automation, improved efficiency, enhanced quality, flexibility, and better integration across the manufacturing value chain. It enables manufacturers to respond quickly to market changes, reduce costs, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving business environment.
According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the adoption of robotics is expected to grow exponentially by the year 2025 owing to the increased functionality and applications in various fields.
Market DynamicsDriverIncrease in CIM-Software-Learning-curve
The steep learning curve of CIM software is one of the key drivers supporting the computer integrated manufacturing market growth. The Management plays a major role in providing customer satisfaction and customer confidence. DM can be used for enhancing traceability in manufacturing processes. It provides detailed data regarding the list of operations performed using the parts and products made using these parts. Such steep learning of CIM software will drive market growth during the forecast period.
RestraintNeed for improved traceability
The need for improved traceability is one of the factors hindering the computer integrated manufacturing market growth. The education profile for CAD, DM, and CAM software is more significant. The complex and feature-rich software's end users are required to put in training programmes to prepare their staff to use it. Professionals must also receive sufficient training before implementing any system improvements.
OpportunityIncreasing use of abrasive jet cutting machines
One of the major market trends for computer-integrated manufacturing that encourages market expansion is the increasing use of abrasive jet cutting equipment. Software is a necessary component of the abrasive jet cutting system because it influences the system's productivity and usability. Full-featured software, such as CAD, cutting models, and also nesting, is provided by some of the manufacturers of abrasive jet cutting systems. These elements are boosting the need for abrasive jet cutting machines, which is driving market expansion.
ThreatHigh initial investment and maintenance costs of CAD, DM, and CAM software
CAD, DM, and CAM software typically require a significant upfront investment. The cost includes licensing fees, hardware requirements, and training expenses. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find it particularly challenging to allocate resources for these software packages, limiting their ability to implement CIM fully. In addition to the initial investment, there are ongoing costs associated with software maintenance, updates, and technical support. These expenses can be substantial, especially for complex software systems.
Covid-19 ImpactDue to the rapid adoption of automated systems in substantially all production processes, the worldwide computer-integrated market has previously seen significant expansion. However, the market will unexpectedly and drastically collapse in 2020, as a result of the sudden halt of almost all manufacturing businesses during this unexpected coronavirus epidemic. Similar to how there would be less product availability on the market due to partial closings of facilities worldwide. However, due to the widespread use of automated systems in the manufacturing facilities, the industry will significantly resume its rise.
The computer-aided manufacturing segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The computer-aided manufacturing segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. Computer- aided manufacturing helps companies in reducing mistakes made during the development and production processes. The designing tool can be simply connected with computer-aided manufacturing market solutions, improving the ability to adapt to changes and boosting the effectiveness of manufacturing operations. Organisations can easily and quickly manage design changes because of the CAM solution. The CAM solution equips different stakeholders in an organisation, such as machinists, designers, and engineers, to complete their responsibilities successfully, hence reducing the total time required for a product's manufacturing.
The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Companies are striving to use smart manufacturing technology in today's highly competitive automobile sector, in order to shorten the manufacturing process's time. Automobile producers place a strong emphasis on continuously enhancing their production methods through the implementation of various technical advancements to guarantee the delivery of high-quality goods. Automobile manufacturers and fabricators have been able to dramatically shorten production times and improve overall manufacturing efficiency because of technological advancements, cutting-edge machinery and equipment, and the use of CAM solutions. Additionally, the global market for computer-integrated manufacturing has benefited from the rising usage of smart technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) enabled solutions like connected fleet, connected fleet, connected logistics, and predictive maintenance.
Region with largest shareNorth America region is anticipated to have the largest share during the forecast period. North America is a significant hub for technological advancements and a leading user of new technologies. The use of cloud-based CAM solutions to improve manufacturing processes and automate production has increased in popularity in North America. Major players' presence in the area also contributes to the demand for and knowledge of CAM/CAD/CAE technologies. The necessity to track real-time data and enhance visibility and control over production activities has led to an increase in the adoption of IT and enabling technologies in process industries. The transition towards automated production, a well-established ecosystem for manufacturing practises, and ongoing R&D (Research and Development) investments by businesses that encourage innovation in their manufacturing processes are key growth drivers in North America.
Region with highest CAGRAsia-Pacific region is anticipated to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) market is rapidly expanding, due to the growing need for automation and digitalization in the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, because to its rapid industrialization, government initiatives, and investments in smart manufacturing, China is predicted to experience significant development in the CIM market.
