Market Overview
The global automation market will generate an estimated revenue of USD 129.5 billion in 2024, which is expected to witness a CAGR of 3.8% during 2024-2030, to reach USD 161.6 billion by 2030. The most significant driving force behind the growth of the market is the technological development occurring in the world and the need for improvement of different industries and applications' productivity and profitability.
The latest strategic advancement in the automation market is the development of collaborative automation devices integrated with artificial intelligence. A recent use case that has been adopted is in the agricultural field where drones are fitted with artificial intelligence for spraying pesticides.
Like the drip irrigation technique, it functions on data provided by the AI and ML that are implemented in a system. The awareness that comes with or from AI has in a way allowed the robots to get immersed, understand the circumstances, and improve on decision-making in as much as the required work is concerned.
IoT is seen to be recolonizing industries that function on a large scale with great impact through its benefits like real-time monitoring, positioning, and tracking systems, Linking the alarm to get a quick response, and enhanced security and privacy concerns.
IoT can be defined as a way of connecting entities such as sensors, actuators, and robots. They acquire data and get in touch with each other and ultimately improve production probabilities with high efficiency and explicitness in industries.
