Market Overview

Factory automation and industrial control systems may include computers, equipment, and information technology software that reduces human involvement in the execution of various processes in any industry. The automation system helps simplify processes, increase productivity, eliminate errors, and improve overall operational efficiency. This technology is in high demand due to the growing emphasis on cost reduction and the increasing need for precision in many operations. Distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), robotic arms, conveyance systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), conveyor belts, programmable logic controllers (PLC), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions are examples of industrial control and factory automation systems. Automation-manufactured products not only have higher quality, but they also have lower operational costs, increasing the product's overall profitability margin. Automation also helps to conserve energy. Automation is now an important part of the manufacturing, oil and gas, electricity, mining, railway, and shipping industries. Another factor driving the growth of the factory automation and industrial controls market is labor scarcity, the need for high yield and production, and a greater emphasis on improving efficiency and accuracy to achieve high productivity.

Market Segment

• In 2022, the distributed control segment accounted for the significant revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the types, the Japan factory automation and industrial controls market is segmented into industrial control systems and field devices. The industrial control systems are further segregated into supervisory control & data acquisition (SCADA), product lifecycle management (PLM), manufacturing execution system (MES), human-machine interface (HMI), distributed control system (DCS), programable logic controller (PLC), and others, and the field devices are further segregated into Among these, the distributed control segment has the significant revenue share over the forecast period. Distributed control systems (DCS) are process-oriented platforms that act as a centralized master controller for a facility's manufacturing operations by utilizing a network of interconnected sensors, actuators, controllers, and terminals. As such, a DCS focuses on process control and monitoring while also providing facility operators with a centralized view of all facility operations. DCS enables the implementation of advanced process automation strategies because it operates on a closed-loop control platform. Therefore, DCS is best suited for managing operations at a single facility or factory. A DCS is also essential for increasing the visibility of a facility's day-to-day operational processes.

In 2022, the oil & gas segment accounted for the significant revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the end-user industry, the Japan factory automation and industrial controls market is segmented into chemical & petrochemical, oil & gas, power & utilities, food & beverage, automotive & transportation, pharmaceutical, and others. Among these, the oil & gas segment accounted for the significant revenue share over the forecast period. Since the oil and gas industry is subject to several government regulations for safety, plant dependability, and efficiency, industrial controls are used to ensure safety in remote terminal units (RTU) and pumping and compression stations. To maintain safety and environmental purity while increasing production efficiency, the industry is rapidly implementing industrial control solutions. Automation aids in the integration of information and control, power, and safety solutions to meet the demands of low-cost energy and stringent government regulations. To monitor gas and liquid measurement data from the wellhead to production, storage, transportation, processing, and points of sale, upstream and midstream enterprises required critical data management skills.
