Industry Definition and Segmentation

Process automation or automation system (PAS) is a device that automates the control of a process at a facility such as a chemical plant, an oil refinery, or a paper and pulp mill. Sensors, actuators, computer technology, and software engineering are used in process automation to assist power plants and factories. It is a method of automating complex commercial processes via technology. It usually serves three purposes: automating operations, centralising information, and eliminating the need for human input. It is intended to eliminate bottlenecks, decrease mistakes, and prevent data loss while boosting transparency, cross-departmental collaboration, and processing speed. The Process Automation industry report comprises segments by region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and South America).

The North American and European Regions are Driving the Growth of the Industry

The North American and European region holds the largest share of the market. North America's market is mature, making it a better place to absorb sophisticated technologies, strategic alliances, and product collaborations from sectors such as oil and gas, metals and mining, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and others, boosting process automation's growth.

The industry is being driven by the benefits of an automated industry that has enticed companies who operate non-automated process industries. Such businesses are investing in upgrading their process facilities, fueling the process automation industry. Process automation is becoming more popular among industrial players due to its energy efficiency, cost efficiency, and shorter time to market concepts, which is helping the process automation market. The process automation market is aided by the fact that one of the primary concerns of enterprises these days is to raise their sustainability in terms of energy cost and resource efficiency. Process automation allows for greater asset management and industrial flexibility. The most prolific growth factors in the process automation industry are industrial automation and factory automation. The growing need to reduce human contact in various processes to save money on labour and reduce mistakes has opened up a world of possibilities for automated systems in the industrial sector. Another aspect pushing the market is the expanding government incentive scheme and rising labour costs.

However, the high cost of installing the systems hinders the industry's growth.

Best Procurement Practices

The global Process Automation industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major global Process Automation regions, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.

Category Management Studies

Process automation makes this easier by placing sensors in hundreds of locations around the plant that collect data on temperatures, pressures, and flows, among other things. On a widescreen in a control room, the information is recorded and evaluated, and the entire plant and each piece of manufacturing equipment can be monitored. The operational settings of the plant are then automatically modified to generate the best possible output. When required, plant operators can override the process automation systems manually. The computer software in process automation employs measurements to illustrate how the plant works and simulate several operating modes and discover the best strategy for the plant. This software's capacity to "learn" and forecast patterns is a standout feature, helping to reduce response time to changing situations. The software and controls set the equipment to run at the fastest possible speed while using the least energy. They also maintain quality consistency, which means less energy is squandered making defective goods. They anticipate when maintenance is required, which means less time and energy is spent stopping and restarting equipment for periodic inspections.

Technological Advancements in the Systems, Further Propelling the Process Automation Market

The market is witnessing growth due to technological advancements in the industry, such as Bluetooth, WLAN, and VoIP, to process automation. The second trend is for businesses to transfer data from their equipment directly to the cloud or link industrial devices to the cloud. Integration of big data analytics and automation is another trend. The current trend in the process automation sector is the 'Industry 4.0' industrial revolution. Cooperative robots are becoming more popular in the process automation business. Some of the industry's key growth factors include the need for operational efficiency, rapidly growing SMEs, a growing inclination toward the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based automation, increasing demand for smart factories, mass customisation, supply chain synchronisation, system integration through system integrators or SI, increasing R&D, artificial intelligence (AI), and advancement in M2M communication technology.
 
The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
