Automation Software Market Industry Drivers: What’s Behind The Revenue Growth?
The expanding deployment of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and cloud-based systems is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the automation software market. These solutions involve networked industrial devices and equipment that utilize cloud computing infrastructure to gather, analyze, and manage data, thereby enhancing operational efficiency, productivity, and decision-making within industrial environments. The heightened need for improved connectivity, real-time data interpretation, and remote monitoring capabilities is fueling the demand for IIoT and cloud-based systems. Automation software plays a crucial role in these solutions, enabling seamless integration, supervision, and control of industrial devices and processes, which in turn optimizes operations and drives efficiencies. For example, data from AAG IT Services, a UK-based non-government organization, indicated in January 2025 that in 2022, 57% of SMB workloads and 56% of SMB data were already hosted on public clouds. Furthermore, an additional 6% of both were projected to migrate to the cloud over the next 12 months, resulting in an estimated 63% of SMB workloads and 62% of SMB data being cloud-hosted by 2023. Consequently, the increasing adoption of IIoT and cloud-based solutions is a significant driver for the growth of the automation software market.
