This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis. Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers. All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately. A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
This Total Process Automation Systems Market Research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast.
Process Automation Market Driven by Sustainability, Digitalization Initiatives, and Artificial Intelligence Adoption
According to ARC Advisory Group’s new research, the outlook remains positive for capital investments in automation products in the process industries. This is because the macro trends that underlie the growth in this market remain in place. These trends include globalization, infrastructure expansion, an aging installed base of automation equipment, manufacturing labor shortages, digitalization, an increasing middle class in Asia, and the ongoing need to improve production and process controllability and reduce energy consumption. Sustainability initiatives are also driving investments in automation. Governments around the world have shown an increasing appetite toward investing to become less dependent on unreliable foreign suppliers of energy. This increased focus on energy security helped drive investment activity in nuclear, LNG, and even fossil fuel power plants. Sustainability goals and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) mandates have taken the forefront of every business sector. For many of the heavy process industries, decarbonization impacts the entire value chain, including raw materials, manufacturing products, materials and components, as well as consumption by consumers and disposal.
Total Process Automation Systems Market Strategic Issues
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Total Process Automation Systems market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Lifecycle Service Offerings
More than 80% of the total cost of medium voltage drives over their lifecycle comes from operational expenses (OpEx), including maintenance, retrofits, and services, rather than initial capital expenditure, regardless of whether these services are outsourced or managed in-house. Therefore, when selecting a vendor, it is critical to prioritize lifecycle cost management. Special attention should be given to a vendor’s capabilities in digital services, predictive maintenance, which can help reduce downtime and optimize operational efficiency.
Integrate for the Big Picture
Organization operational risk is a much larger issue in which alarm management plays a role. Alarm management solutions should not only be integrated within the control system realm but also facilitate integration with enterprise-wide operational risk evaluation offerings that allow the corporation to evaluate vulnerabilities across the organization.End users want to find the most holistic integrated solution available. Implementations should avoid stranded safety data, manual integration tasks, and solutions that force users to look in multiple places. All in all, the solution should make it easy for users to quickly ascertain the state of the alarm systems in terms of health, risk, and compliance.
Design for Security
To effectively prevent or mitigate cyberattacks, end users need to adopt a comprehensive security framework that includes fundamental changes in policy formulation, establishing a cyber-aware workforce, multi-level network protection, and proactive threat assessment.
Embrace the IT-ification of Automation Architectures
The influence of commercial information technologies (IT) on automation systems grows every year. Automation architectures are becoming more “IT-like” as virtualization is extended to the shop floor. Automation systems in the future will be orchestrated in the same way as IT systems, meaning that assets will be configured, deployed, and managed automatically. This will occur dynamically rather than statically to adapt to everchanging conditions. For example, changing a machine’s product configuration involves adding and deleting hardware and/or software assets, and then ensuring that the load on the IT system remains balanced to guarantee machine performance.
