COVID-19 Analysis

Recent coronavirus pandemic has impacted industries across the globe by accelerating de-globalization and affecting logistics in the manufacturing sectors. Companies faced a range of problems, from obtaining raw materials and delivering end products to attracting workers during the lockdown. This scenario has, in turn, prompted automation and control as the only alternative. 

Pandemic-related logistics problems prompted manufacturing companies to consider new automation & control technologies that offset higher wages, and increase efficiency became inevitable. Resultantly, the global machine control system industry is garnering continual traction and witnessing an increase in automation investments. 

Market Dynamics 

Drivers

Rising Automation to Bolster the Machine Control System Market Opportunities 

The shift from 2D to 3D visualization is one of the major developments in industrial processes, revolutionizing the operation and working of building construction. Besides, machine control system market trends such as rising uses of HoloLens and replacement of traditional survey pegs with a positioning system for precise and efficient machine operation impact the market growth. 

Increasing construction projects in commercial & non-commercial sectors in the developing countries and increased human and machinery safety support the global machine control system market. The construction industry significantly benefits from the rise in disposable income and consumer purchasing power, and the surging infrastructural projects led by government funding. 

Opportunities

Developing Nations to Present Excellent Opportunities

Emerging regions across the globe present untapped opportunities for machine control systems. The expanding construction industry in developing countries and increased commercial and residential construction activities boost the machine control system market size. Significant demand due to the rising automation in manufacturing sectors in emerging economies would offer vast opportunities to global firms in the future.

Restraints

Lack of Technical Expertise to Restrain Market Growth

Despite the lucrative growth opportunities, factors such as applications largely limited to earthwork construction, lack of technical expertise, and high-cost training requirements restrict the market growth. Changing trends in manufacturing techniques are projected to act as major growth hindering factors for the market during the forecast period. Also, compatibility issues and high installation costs are expected to slow down the machine control system market share.
