Industry 4.0 Market

Global Industry 4.0 Market Size

The global Industry 4.0 market size was valued at USD 84.76 billion in 2023. The global market size is expected to be worth USD 359.10 billion by 2032 from USD 99.51 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 17.4% from 2024 to 2032.

The worldwide Industry 4.0 market is expanding rapidly due to increased smartphone use and increased connectivity to the digital world. The rising adoption of the industrial internet in manufacturing units around the world and a growing emphasis on improved efficiency of machinery and systems, and lower production costs all contribute to the market's global expansion. Furthermore, the increasing need for industrial robotics is likely to fuel the growth of the Industry 4.0 market. With the growing number of connected devices, the massive growth in data in field equipment, and the changing technological environment, it is critical for businesses to adapt their products and services to the digital world quickly.

MARKET DRIVERS

Over the previous few decades, robots have evolved from prohibitively expensive machines with limited capabilities to low-cost devices capable of performing a wide range of jobs. People throughout the world rely on industrial robots. Because industrial robots are increasingly being used in production hubs, they are advancing, developing, and evolving quickly. As a result of significant technological breakthroughs in robotics, the industrial sector has seen an increasing embrace of robotics engineering and technology in its production processes. Industrial robots are versatile manipulator devices that can be operated and programmed autonomously. Soldering, heavy-lifting, ironing, manufacturing, pick and position, palletizing, quality control, and screening are just a few of the typical automated robotic functions, which together require a high degree of human understanding, pace, and accuracy. Automated machines conduct repetitive activities and nullify the need for human labor.

With Industry 4.0 in the production industry, numerous industrial plants are integrating digital automation, upgrading and modernizing the workflow, increasing facility key metrics. Additionally, they can function in dangerous situations that people cannot. As a result, robotics technology will be a crucial trend as the sector grows. Robotics in manufacturing sectors simplify routine tasks, minimize error bars to standard levels, and free employees to concentrate on more profitable activities and functions. Improving technology enables organizations to stay competitive internationally by providing a compelling, practical option to fill the competency gaps. The increased public knowledge of the benefits of embracing Industry 4.0 will propel worldwide market expansion even further.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Existing workforces must be trained to operate cutting-edge equipment and software systems outfitted with IoT and AI-related technologies. Though industries are quick to adopt new technologies, there is a scarcity of highly skilled engineers and a workforce that is up to date on the latest breakthroughs in AI and IoT technology. Moreover, due to a lack of educated workers, emerging economies also struggle to apply industrial automation and carry out next-level industrialization. As a result, the shortage of competent labor limits the expansion of the Industry 4.0 market.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

By Technology Insights

Based on technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) category is expected to be the most significant contributor to the Industry 4.0 market over the anticipated period. The potential benefits of IoT have encouraged several industrial equipment makers to embrace IoT. Manufacturers can precisely evaluate the current state of machines, optimize their performance, predict future faults, and plan maintenance schedules by connecting industrial equipment via wireless communication and collecting sensor data from the kit. Its capacity to remotely monitor enterprise assets and undertake predictive maintenance is the primary reason for its growing popularity. However, remote monitoring is limited in industries, particularly for equipment placed in harsh environments such as subsea oil wells or mines.

By Connectivity Insights

The wireless and mobile categories combined accounted for the lion's share of total revenue. They are also likely to increase in the following years, thanks to rising smartphone penetration and the availability of 5G technology for fast data access and transfer. 5G's speed and dependability are likely to have a significant impact on M2M and IoT. The main reasons for the rising use of new M2M technologies are improved connectivity for smooth communication and low power consumption. To enable effective machine-to-machine communication, mobile networks' current capacity must accommodate billions of nodes that are predicted to rise in the coming years. The network capacity is currently insufficient to accommodate M2M and human-based communications and their various communication patterns such as lag time.

By End-User Insights

The manufacturing end-user industry is predicted to have the most significant market share in 2020 and increase compared to other sectors during the forecast period. However, manufacturing is the second-most targeted industry for cyber-attacks. Due to a lack of security, industry 4.0 technologies enable hackers to attack the manufacturer's data and infect new systems to detain and trade secret information. As a result, in the industry 4.0 market, the marketing industry is rapidly adopting AI.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

Expansion of automation implementation in countries such as Japan, China, and South Korea is a critical component in the growth of the industry 4.0 Market. The low cost, which allows various firms to establish factories, is the primary driver of the Asia Pacific robotics industry. The industry in the Asia Pacific region is also expected to grow at the quickest rate, owing to ongoing technical improvements and administration monetary incentives. The primary drivers that make APAC a dynamic area for Industry 4.0 include government activities, R&D funding, and an enormous industrial base, with Japan and China being the major contributors.
