Market Definition

UK Industrial Process Automation Market was valued at USD 4.08 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 5.94 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.96% 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.

UK Industry Leaders Embrace Industry 4.0 for Transformation in Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, and Energy Sectors

The various market leaders are taking robust initiatives to revolutionize the automation processes with Industry 4.0 technologies in industries such as food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, and energy among others. For instance, in January 2023, Schneider Electric partnered with Ryse Energy - the global leader in decentralised renewable energy systems - to design and implement a new standardised control system for improved power quality. 

It enables the integration of small wind turbines with the National Grid, which could lead to increased use of renewable energy sources and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This inaugural project is expected to deliver green, affordable, secure energy supply to farms and businesses across the UK and Europe. Thus, it is expected to boost the industrial process automation market growth in the country.

 

Optimizing Pharmaceutical Production: Leveraging High-Speed Robots for Efficient Packaging and Logistics Automation

In the United Kingdom, process automation leverages a range of robotic technologies, including collaborative robots, SCARA robots, and delta robots. These highly regarded robotic systems excel in terms of speed, making them invaluable for pharmaceutical production, especially when dealing with small and lightweight items in packaging. Additionally, their versatility extends to optimizing logistics operations, contributing to heightened efficiency and productivity within the UK's pharmaceutical and related industries.

 

Lack of Standardization Processes Hampers the Market Growth in UK

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.

Seizing Opportunities: The Rising Adoption of Cloud-Based Automation Solutions

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.
