Industrial Control & Factory Automation Market Expansion Supported By Key Demand Factors
The growth in vehicle production is anticipated to boost the industrial control and factory automation market moving forward. A vehicle is a mobile machine engineered for moving people or goods between locations. Industrial control and factory automation are applied in vehicle manufacturing to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and ensure precision during assembly, resulting in increased productivity and higher-quality automotive products. For example, in September 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based lobbying and standards group for the automobile industry, reported that in the first three quarters of 2025, new commercial vehicle registrations saw a decrease, with vans dropping by 8.2% and trucks by 9.8%, although bus registrations rose by 3.6%. Thus, the growth in vehicle production is a key driver for the industrial control and factory automation market.
