Global Industrial Automation Services Market: Overview
The growing need for the main automation contractor
The need for simultaneous devising and planning of multiple projects makes strategizing automation plans difficult for end-users. This has given rise to the concept of the leading automation contractor (MAC) that enables the smooth deployment of automation control systems. MAC helps in minimizing the planning and implementation costs and maintaining standardization across various projects. The MAC quickly assesses the requirement of end-users, generates a detailed analysis and evaluation of initial process requirements, formulates front-end design and engineering, and enables the procurement of various automation solution products. This demand will lead to the expansion of the global industrial automation services market at a CAGR of almost 6% during the forecast period.
Virtualization of automation control systems
End-users are increasingly adopting virtualization, which provides benefits such as optimum resource utilization and operation and power cost savings. Virtual machines allow easy access of physical servers integrated with industrial automation systems at various locations on the plant, thereby reducing the overall cost of servers. The increasing awareness of virtual software and flexibility in operating automation software is encouraging the end-users to increasingly adopt virtualization as it provides benefits such as optimum resource utilization and operation and power cost savings. This development is expected to have a positive impact on the overall market growth.
