The Global Smart Manufacturing Market was valued at USD 232.1 Bn in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 529.3 Bn by 2027, with a growing CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period.
Smart manufacturing is a fully integrated, collaborative manufacturing system that responds in real-time to meet changing demands and conditions in the factory, in the supply network, and in customer needs. The growing adoption of industry 4.0 and IoT-enabled technology in various sectors is projected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. These technologies aid the effectiveness of the operation of the manufacturing plants. Moreover, the increasing adoption of computer-aided systems, manufacturing tools, the Internet of Things (IoT), and engineering technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing fuel the growth of the market. The ongoing developments in industry 4.0 are predicted to accelerate the adoption of smart factories by opening up new opportunities for manufacturers.
In addition to this, Advanced technologies and AI have replaced the normal process of manufacturing. Smart manufacturing uses data analytics to ease complex and lengthy processes and also manages the availability chain smoothly. The increasing demand for smooth operations in several industries is fuelling the growth of the smart manufacturing market. Smart machines or robots collect and recognize large data that keeps them informed throughout the manufacturing process. Data is collected, refined, and curated for the aim of computing comfortably by the robots. With the assistance of the stored data, the robots can improve machine performance and predict any bug within the manufacturing processes as they will learn from experience. The predictions offered by smart technologies further help to facilitate better strategies for scheduling production runs. In a smart manufacturing system, manufacturing techniques can routinely generate, transmit, and process statistics without human involvement, consequently propel the growth of the smart manufacturing market.
