The Middle East and Africa Factory Automation market is segmented into the Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Algeria, Morocco, and Rest of Middle East and Africa. The factory automation market in the Middle East & Africa is segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Algeria, Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. The above countries in the region are highly automating their factories to improve manufacturing operations. The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources has taken the Future Factories Program Initiative to automate ~4,000 factories in Saudi Arabia. The program intends to transit 4,000 factories toward the adoption of the fourth industrial revolution, automation, and sophisticated industrial technologies that further enhance operational efficiency and manufacturing capabilities. Moreover, the government of Saudi Arabia is taking initiatives toward the adoption of industrial robots. For instance, according to Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) data, The Dubai Robotics and Automation (R&A) Program intends to boost the robotics sector's contribution to 9% of Dubai's GDP before 2032. As part of the initiative, 200,000 robots will be provided over the following ten years until 2032. This raises the efficiency and productivity in a variety of industries, including logistics, and transportation, among others. Thus, significant government initiatives towards factory automation are leading to the growth of the MEA factory automation market.

The oil & gas industry's expansion and growing investments in the industry to adopt a wide range of factory automation hardware and software are expected to create opportunities for the MEA factory automation market growth during the forecast period.
