Industrial Control & Factory Automation Market Growth Factors Behind Sustained Expansion
The anticipated growth in vehicle production is projected to propel the expansion of the industrial control and factory automation market in the future. Vehicles are mobile machines designed for transporting people or goods. Industrial control and factory automation systems are utilized in vehicle production to streamline manufacturing processes, enhance efficiency, and ensure precision in assembly, which ultimately leads to increased productivity and higher-quality automotive products. For instance, in September 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based lobbying and standards group for the automobile industry, reported that during the first three quarters of 2025, new commercial vehicle registrations saw a decline, with vans down by 8.2% and trucks by 9.8%, while bus registrations increased by 3.6%. Consequently, the growth in vehicle production is a significant driver for the industrial control and factory automation market.
