Human-machine interface (HMI) refers to the technology that allows an operator to interact with and control a machine or system. It can involve both hardware and software components and plays a crucial role in centralizing and digitizing data for operators to optimize industrial processes.
The main products in the human-machine interface market include hardware, software, and services. The hardware component consists of the physical parts of the interface, encompassing both internal components and externally connected devices. The configuration of HMI can be either embedded, integrated within a larger system, or standalone, operating independently. Various end-users benefit from human-machine interfaces, including industries such as chemicals and petrochemicals, food and beverages, oil and gas, as well as paper, packaging, and printing.

The human machine interface market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.39 billion in 2024 to $5.69 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise of smart manufacturing, focus on workplace safety, energy efficiency initiatives, expansion of automotive industry, demand for enhanced user experience.
The human machine interface market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards flexible manufacturing, focus on healthcare automation, growth of smart cities, e-commerce and warehouse automation, focus on user-centric design. Major trends in the forecast period include gesture control, voice recognition, integration with artificial intelligence (AI), remote monitoring and control, multi-modal interfaces, customization and personalization.
The anticipated growth of the human-machine interface (HMI) market is driven by the increasing adoption of industrial automation in the manufacturing sector. Industrial automation involves the control of processes and machinery using technologies such as control systems, computers, robotics, and information technology. HMI plays a crucial role in automation systems by facilitating real-time data collection and providing a visual representation of control systems. The rising trend of automation, as indicated by a report from Nividous in 2022, where 43% of manufacturers are already utilizing robotic process automation (RPA) and another 43% plan to implement RPA projects, is a significant factor propelling the growth of the human-machine interface market.
The proliferation of cyber threats is identified as a key driver for the growth of the human-machine interfaces market. Cyber threats encompass potential risks posed by malicious activities to compromise data and disrupt computer systems, networks, and digital information. Human-machine interfaces, being connected to networks, represent potential vulnerabilities that cyber attackers may exploit to gain unauthorized access to control systems. The increasing number of cybercrime reports, such as the 13% increase to 76,000 reports in 2022 according to the Australian Cyber Security Centre, highlights the need for robust cybersecurity measures in the human-machine interface market.
Major companies in the human-machine interfaces market are concentrating on developing technologically advanced solutions, such as cloud-enabled human-machine interfaces, to improve connectivity, scalability, and real-time data processing. A cloud-enabled human-machine interface (HMI) refers to an interface that enables users to interact with machines or systems via cloud-based technology. For example, Rockwell Automation, a US-based automation company, introduced the FactoryTalk Optix portfolio, a cloud-enabled HMI platform aimed at enhancing the development and deployment of industrial applications. This innovative solution allows users to design, test, and deploy applications directly from a web browser, facilitating collaboration and accessibility. Key components include the FactoryTalk Optix software for multi-user collaboration, OptixPanel graphic terminals, FactoryTalk Remote Access for secure remote connections, an embedded edge compute module for scalability, and the ASEM 6300 Industrial PC.
Companies operating in the human-machine interfaces market are also adopting new technological products, such as FactoryTalk Optix, to maintain their market position. FactoryTalk Optix is a cloud-enabled human-machine interface (HMI) platform that enables users to design, test, and deploy applications directly from a web browser, accessible anytime and anywhere. For instance, in March 2023, Rockwell Automation, a US-based industrial automation company, launched FactoryTalk Optix. This platform is designed to enhance process efficiency and deliverables through modern technologies, innovative designs, and scalable deployment options. It enables system developers to improve lifecycle management and on-demand access to cloud-based software while ensuring openness and interoperability through machine-to-machine and machine-to-cloud communications.
In April 2023, Beijer Electronics, a Sweden-based HMI terminal manufacturer, acquired Smart HMI GmbH.
