North America Manufacturing Automation Market To Reach $6.49 Billion By 2030

North America Manufacturing Automation Market Growth & Trends

The North America manufacturing automation market size is anticipated to reach USD 6.49 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is undergoing substantial growth primarily owing to increasing adoption of automated technologies across businesses to optimize their operations, increase production capacity, and reduce manual labor. Moreover, the advantages associated with introducing automation at manufacturing plants, such as increased precision, reduced errors, and better workplace safety, are also positively influencing the regional market outlook.

The manufacturing industry in North America is showing a greater inclination to automation technology, with more companies seeking ways to increase efficiency and lowering costs, automation in factories, Industry 4.0, and other connected manufacturing solutions will witness increased adoption. For instance, the automotive industry uses robotic process automation (RPA) to enhance safety and productivity, working alongside humans to perform tasks in less time and with high quality control. This technology reduces human error in processes requiring precise manufacturing and automated documentation and is equipped with built-in safety features. Such developments are creating lucrative opportunities for the market growth.

The market growth is being further propelled by the emergence of innovative digital technologies, further proliferating the market growth such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), 5G connectivity, immersive technologies, 3D printing, and cloud-based services, among others.Several market players are inclined to enhance their product portfolio by introducing new technologies to cater to the changing customer demands. For instance, in February 2023, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation updated their software iQ Works2 and RT Toolbox3. A new visual editor for SCADA and six-axis industrial robot programming is part of their latest update in the software. The upgrade also includes improved user-friendliness, which is expected to simplify the setup of automated applications.
