ASSEMBLY AUTOMATION MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global assembly automation market size was USD 56.17 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 121.16 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Assembly automation uses a variety of automated tools and devices to make items and consumer goods at an impressive rate. On an assembly line, these systems are made up of numerous machines and pieces of equipment. The end users gain a number of advantages from using these items, including the need for fewer human employees and labor, high profitability due to an improved pace of production, consistent output, decreased downtime, and decreased human mistakes. 

Carousel assembly systems, dial-type assembly machines, single-station assembly machines, and in-line assembly machines are just a few of the major goods that competitors and industry participants in the worldwide assembly automation systems market are offering. Additionally, the different types of assembly systems include in-line machines with single station assemblies, carousel assembly systems, and dial-type assembly machines. The main factors influencing the usage of automated production lines include multiple operations, long product life, durable product design, and high product demand.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disruption of Manufacturing Industries Hampered Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with assembly automation experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Government-imposed travel restrictions, factory closures, and plant closures heavily disrupted manufacturing facilities. Personnel shortages, supply chain interruptions, and raw material shortages impacted production numbers. During the global COVID-19 epidemic, automation technology is vital in protecting people, processes, and systems. The large industrial company that provides automation technology solutions is investing to combat the decline in material prices and meet consumer demands during the lockdown. To reduce team travel, Emerson, for instance, has created virtual capabilities such as MyEmerson digital tools, Virtual Factory Acceptance Tests (vFATs), and cloud engineering in the automation sector. These virtual solutions offer remote collaboration and virtual meetings for the organization's contacts.

LATEST TRENDS
