Motion Control Market Size To Reach $24.66 Billion By 2030

Motion Control Market Growth & Trends

The global motion control market size is anticipated to reach USD 24.66 billion by 2030. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing a surge in demand due to the increased use of industrial robots in manufacturing. Industrial robots are used extensively for various functions such as grouping, packing, and picking. The adoption of machine-controlled processes in factory automation is increasing, which has led to a rise in demand for motion controllers.

Industry 4.0 principles of connectivity and data-driven decision-making have also improved motion control systems. Integration with IoT sensors, AI algorithms, and predictive analytics enables real-time monitoring and adjustment of motion control parameters. This approach minimizes downtime, predicts maintenance needs, and optimizes operational efficiency, contributing to cost savings and increased uptime. The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies has increased the development of collaborative and autonomous robots equipped with advanced motion control capabilities. It can work with humans safely, boosting manufacturing and logistics setup flexibility. They adapt to changing environments, perform intricate tasks, and contribute to an agile and productive production ecosystem. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Report 2023, global IoT revenue is expected to reach USD 4.4 trillion by 2030.
