Industry 4.0 Equipment Market Segment Analysis - By Technology

During the forecast period Internet of Things segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.1% through 2026. The potential benefits of IoT have prompted several manufacturers of industrial equipment to implement IoT. By connecting industrial equipment together using wireless connectivity and collecting sensor data from the equipment, manufacturers can accurately determine the machine's current state, optimize its performance, identify potential failures and plan maintenance schedules accordingly. IoT’s ability to monitor company assets remotely and to carry out predictive maintenance is the primary reason for its increasing adoption. Remote monitoring is a necessity in industries, especially for equipment that is deployed under extreme conditions, such as wells or mines under subsea oil. Failure of equipment operating under such conditions can be potentially disastrous, as it can lead to heavy financial losses and can also threaten people's lives. The increasing usage of IoT in self-driving cars is anticipated to strengthen the Industry 4.0 Equipment Market. 

Industry 4.0 Equipment Market Segment Analysis - By End Use Industry

The Aerospace and Defense Industry is projected to grow during the forecast period at the highest CAGR of 15.0% CAGR. The aerospace & defense industry needs to tackle unplanned downtime that could have a major impact on its operations. To this end, manufacturers are increasingly spending on smart fabrication solutions to enable asset monitoring in real-time. Manufacturers focus primarily on controlling the supply of components, improving product quality, shortening the production cycle and employing efficient production processes.

Industry 4.0 Equipment Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

APAC is expected to dominate the Industry 4.0 Equipment Market with a share of more than 35.2%. Increasing robotics adoption in countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea is the major factor for the Industry 4.0 Equipment Market to grow. The APAC market is also expected to grow at the fastest rate of 14.9% CAGR through 2026. The major factors that make APAC a dynamic region for Industry 4.0 are government initiatives, R&D funding and an extensive industrial base, with Japan and China being the major contributors. The Asia-Pacific region is highly diverse with localised features, ranging from technologically advanced, high-cost manufacturing countries to low-cost, low-productivity nations. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore can be classified as mature manufacturing countries The market for Industry 4.0 is expected to register positive growth across Asia Pacific in the coming years and eventually it will help the growth of Industry 4.0 Equipment Market.

Industry 4.0 Equipment Market Drivers

A significant rise in the adoption of industrial internet

One of the major factors estimated to encourage the development of the global 4.0 industry market in the coming years is a significant rise in the adoption of industrial internet. Prominent players' increasing focus on the cost and efficiency of manufacturing is expected to lead to digitization. This is expected to speed up overall market development in the coming few years. Besides this, the increasing adoption of automation for high-quality production is likely to ensure market growth in the coming years.

Industry 4.0 and Interactive Robots

The growing digitized world is the major factor attributing global industry growth to the 4.0 market. Industry 4.0 innovations such as IoT and smartphone voice assistants provide good shopping experience for customers. Another factor that fuels market growth is the manufacture of robots using Industry 4.0. Robots made using I4.0 will interact and work safely beside humans without causing any harm to them. These robots work more effectively than humans, and are available on the market at low cost.

Industry 4.0 Equipment Market Challenges

Lack of Security

Manufacturing is the second-largest targeted industry for attacks, according to the 2019 IBM-X Force Threat Intelligence Index. Because of less security, Industry 4.0 technologies allow hackers to attack the manufacturer's data and also to infect new detention systems and to sell confidential information. The scarcity of skilled workers is also estimated to reduce the rise of the industry 4.0 market over the next few years. 

Industry 4.0 Equipment Market Landscape

Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in Industry 4.0 Equipment Market.
