Machine Control System Companies

The global machine control system market is projected to grow from USD 6.03 billion in 2025 to USD 8.93 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.2%. The machine control system market is experiencing strong growth due to rising automation in construction and agriculture, increasing demand for precision, and enhanced productivity needs. Technologies such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), laser scanners, and total stations enable accurate positioning and real-time data collection, reducing rework and operational costs. The adoption of 3D machine control, along with the integration of IoT and AI, is accelerating this trend. Government initiatives supporting smart infrastructure and the expansion of smart construction equipment further drive market adoption across original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contractors globally.

Some key players in the machine control system market are Hexagon AB (Sweden), Trimble Inc. (US), Topcon Corporation (Japan), MOBA Mobile Automation AG (Germany), and Hemisphere GNSS (US). These companies are focusing on strategies such as product launches, collaborations, and regional expansions to strengthen their market presence and address evolving customer demands. For instance, in March 2025, Topcon Corporation (Japan) launched the LN-60 Kui-Navi, a specialized layout navigator model for the Asian market. Tailored for regional needs, this total station supports efficient and precise layout work in construction applications. Likewise, Trimble Inc. (US) collaborated with Xona Space Systems (US), a leader in satellite navigation, in March 2025. This collaboration aims to integrate Trimble's correction services with Xona's PULSAR high-performance navigation network. This partnership is expected to provide secure, high-precision positioning for geospatial applications, the Internet of Things (IoT), and mass mobile applications worldwide.
