The scope of factory automation market has increased with the ongoing advancements in technology facilitated with the convergence of hardware and software. Implementation of automation tools in application industries have resulted in reduce operations time and cost savings in manufacturing and inventory process. Mainly two types of industries are targeted by factory automation players one is discrete industry and the other is process industry. Similarly, in each discrete and process industry there are new markets and a retrofit markets.

The factory automation market is expected to grow from $120.0 billion in 2010 to $185.0 billion in 2016, at a CAGR of 7.58% from 2011 to 2016. The key companies with respect to factory automation include Siemens (Germany), ABB (Switzerland), Emerson Process Management (U.S.), Rockwell Automation (U.S.), Schneider Electric (France), Honeywell (U.S.), Omron (Japan), Yokogawa (Japan) and others.

Americas and Europe are the leading markets, where automation has captured major application industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotives, pulp and paper, mining, oil and gas, and power plants. With the focus of increasing their overall revenues companies are targeting the industrial segments in Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World regions. This is due to large gap between the application industry and automation tools in these areas. In view of this, big players like Emerson, ABB have taken the advantage by either collaborating or merging with the local players to setup their market in these regions. Owing to the high rate of adoption, all the major players in this industry are launching the new products which are customized to the local application industries.

With the increasing adoption of human machine interface, DSC, SCADA, conveyor belts, conveyance systems, and programmable logic controllers (PLC) automation companies are succeeding as system integrator and the OEM, as well.
