Automation Studio's industrial automation runtime software enables the execution of machine-centric applications on a target system. In addition to running on all B&R target systems and guaranteeing the maximum possible performance for the hardware being used, this runtime environment also renders machine software hardware independent and ensures real-time operation. Software that includes programming languages as a component of the execution model is known as a runtime system.

It develops the layer over the OS that was previously mentioned and contains other applications necessary to operate the main software. Runtime system and runtime environment are frequently used interchangeably. Runtime environments and runtime systems serve as miniature operating systems that have all the features needed for a programmed to run.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 Impact

Industry Imbalance Causes Market Distortion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with industrial automation runtime software market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 epidemic caused problems for services companies like volatile markets, a drop in customer confidence, and difficulties with import and export transactions. Markets were shut down and people stayed at home due to the lockdown. Supply chain breaches, stock market inefficiencies and vendor instability are the results of this advance. The halt on services industry affected the whole market. Due to shutdown of markets, there was no need of the product which resulted in the downfall of industrial automation runtime software. The pandemic impacted the industry dynamics, forcing organizations to revamp their entire operation structures to maintain stability amid the disruptions the financial imbalance that occurs due to shutdown of various stores & large sectors was the main reason that distorted the whole market. Aside from that, the companies' business operations have been affected by the outbreak, which has an effect on the overall industrial automation runtime software industry. This has partially impacted the industrial automation runtime software market.

LATEST TRENDS

Cloud Based Software in Food & Beverages to Boost the Market Growth

To prevent food from rotting and to adhere to rules, food processors must overcome various and substantial obstacles. Food production has utilized information technology, like all other industries, to assist it get over these obstacles. Industrial automation runtime software, the newest development in technology, has been used to assist food producers in acquiring and processing enormous data sets without the need for their own servers. The adoption of cloud-based platforms in the food industry was largely dependent on how willing and able a company was to implement change. The importance of cloud runtime in the food business is growing. Due to the scale and dynamic nature of these datasets, it is necessary to create a separate specialized industry to handle tasks as large and complex as storing data on dedicated physical servers, maintaining those servers, and managing the IT network that allows access to them. Maintaining this trend is helping the market to grow. Thus, cloud-based runtime software is a main trend which is creating opportunities for the market to boost. The market's total expansion is primarily due to all these new developments.

• According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), over 48% of food processing facilities adopted cloud-based automation platforms between 2020 and 2024 to reduce spoilage and improve real-time traceability.

• The European Commission’s Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) indicated that 43% of manufacturing firms across the EU integrated cloud runtime tools into production lines by 2023.

DRIVING FACTORS

Medical & Chemical Industry that Gives the Market Extra Boost

For the past ten years, chemical businesses have conducted business using on-premise corporate ERP and related systems with varying degrees of reliability and success. A disruptive event is the migration to the cloud, particularly for the IT and business operations. Company executives are looking at fast and affordably implementing new technology given the rate of change necessary to maintain a competitive advantage. Traditional application deployment timelines take a lot of resources and are measured in months or years. Industrial operating software has the potential to drastically save setup and development time, saving valuable time and money, and is not constrained by resource limitations. As a result, the growth, and increasing demand of product in to boost the market will contribute to the expansion of the industrial automation runtime software industry and it will improve the overall global and United States industrial automation runtime software market growth.

On-premise Software to Encourage Market Expansion

When sensitive data needs a high level of privacy and security and is handled by highly regulated entities like the government and financial sectors, on-premise is successfully deployed. It can establish a shared domain to specify configurations that various apps can use, and all of those applications are deployed simultaneously within that domain. Unless specified as a common domain, the application always refers to the default domain. It permits conflict-free accessibility to many services in various projects via the set HTTP host and port. Without pausing service, the runtime engine immediately reloads configuration changes made to the application. The market is expanding thanks to the qualities of on-premise software used in the financial and electronic industries. As a result, during the projected period, the market for services is anticipated to rise rapidly. The characteristics of this product are what are causing the market to grow.

• According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, over 60% of chemical and machinery firms upgraded to automation runtime systems to reduce cycle times and improve operational efficiency.

• Based on data from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, 56% of industrial automation projects in 2023 used on-premise runtime systems to meet sector-specific compliance and security standards.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Maintenance of Product to Impede Market Expansion

Industrial automation runtime software setup is much less expensive in the beginning than building a server from scratch, but using this platform on an ongoing basis comes at a cost. The user must contend with a subscription that may increase as the demands of their team place greater demands on their service of choice. The number of points of failure where hackers and other nefarious actors can obtain the data increases when it is made available for online distribution. If you want to make a backup from one provider and transfer it to another, the danger is increased by two-fold. If this problem is fixed, the market will start to grow right away.

• As per a 2023 report from the International Trade Administration (ITA), 37% of SMEs in the industrial sector delayed automation runtime adoption due to high integration costs.

• According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), over 22% of runtime system failures in 2023 were linked to inadequate workforce training on real-time system diagnostics.
