Europe Motion Control Market: Growth Prospects 2024-2032
Triton’s research report estimates the Europe motion control market is set to witness growth at a CAGR of 5.17% during the forecast period 2024-2032.
The motion control market in Europe is experiencing substantial growth, fueled by the increasing demand for robotics across various industries. As automation and Industry 4.0 continue to transform manufacturing landscapes, the need for precise and efficient motion control systems is escalating. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), robot installations in the European Union reached almost 70,781 units in 2022. This surge in robotics adoption directly translates to a heightened demand for motion control solutions, as these systems are integral to the operation and functionality of robots in industrial settings.
The countries listed in the region’s report are the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Nordic Countries, and Rest of Europe.
Germany spearheads the market, accounting for $1455.94 million in 2023
As per IFR, Germany is among the top automated countries globally, with a robot density of 415 robots per 10,000 employees. This rise in automation is one of the key factors driving the adoption of motion control technologies.
The government actively supports technological advancements and innovation through various initiatives and funding programs. The High-Tech Strategy 2025 is a prominent example, focusing on key areas like digitalization, AI, and automation.
Moreover, Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy offers financial support for companies investing in automation and digitization projects. Such initiatives incentivize businesses to adopt cutting-edge motion control solutions, contributing to the studied market’s growth.
Market Forecast for the United Kingdom and Spain
The UK places significant emphasis on technological innovation and research, which fuels progress in motion control systems. Advances in servo motors, drives, controllers, and sensors enhance the market by delivering better performance, precision, and reliability. In January 2024, Applied Motion Products (AMP) Inc introduced the M5 servo motor line for efficient, cost-effective motion control. Such strategic initiatives create novel opportunities for the motion control market.
The rise of automation in Spain’s automotive, electronics, and manufacturing sectors is driving the need for motion control systems. These systems are crucial for streamlining production, increasing efficiency, and enhancing product quality. Spain’s embrace of Industry 4.0, which focuses on digitizing and optimizing manufacturing, accelerates the adoption of advanced technologies, including motion control systems.
The market is sectioned into offering, system, and end-user. The offering section further includes drives, motors, motion controllers, sensors & feedback devices, software & services, and actuators & mechanical systems.
