Taiwan Industrial Process Automation Market was valued at USD 126.43 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 161.43 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 2.36% from 2023 to 2030. Industrial process automation refers to the use of computer technology, along with hardware to control & monitor industrial processes such as inventory management, manufacturing, and production of goods.
It involves the integration of various technologies and systems, such as sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and supervisory control & data acquisition (SCADA) systems, to streamline and optimize production processes including quality control, assembling, testing & inspection, packaging & labeling.
Process automation is applied to a wide range of industries, including oil & gas, chemical processing, food & beverage, and pharmaceuticals, among others. The goal of process automation is to improve efficiency, quality, and safety while reducing costs & minimizing human error.
Thus, industrial process automation plays a significant role in modern manufacturing & production, enabling companies to operate more efficiently, produce higher-quality products, and create safer working environments for their employees when compared to traditional manual methods.
Taiwan's semiconductor industry plays a crucial role in the country's economy, and it relies on industrial automation to maintain its competitiveness. According to the Ministry of Finance in Taiwan, the exports of IC chips, which are critical components for electronic appliances, computers, and smartphones, grew by 18.4% in 2022 when compared to 2021. The semiconductor industry's continuous growth is expected to fuel the demand for industrial process automation solutions including machine vision system, industrial robots, and MES.
In recent years, major players such as Delta Electronics and Kenmec Mechanical Engineering Co. Ltd have made significant investments in Taiwan to promote new manufacturing facilities. These investments are intended to improve manufacturing capabilities, boost production efficiency, and cater to the increasing demand for automation in the country.
For instance, in January 2022, Kenmec Mechanical Engineering, a factory automation and thermal solution service provider, invested USD 21.67 million to construct new manufacturing facilities in New Taipei City, Taiwan. This investment is aimed at enhancing its manufacturing capabilities and provides total solutions to meet the increasing demand for industrial process automation solutions in the global smart manufacturing and automation industry.
Thus, the investment demonstrates the growing importance of Taiwan as a hub for industrial process automation systems, including industrial sensors, industrial robots, and DCS, among others. Therefore, it is expected to drive the industrial process automation market in the country.
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.
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.
