Industry Overview
The market for smart factories is expected to develop at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2022 to 2030, from a value of $152.0 billion in 2021 to $247.0 billion by 2030. The global adoption of collaborative industrial robots, the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), the increased use of enabling technologies in manufacturing, the large-scale production to meet the needs of an expanding population, and the growth of connected businesses are the major factors driving the market.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Technology
The distributed control system (DCS), product lifecycle management (PLM), programmable logic controller (PLC), manufacturing execution system (MES), enterprise resource planning (ERP), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), plant asset management (PAM), and human-machine interface (HMI) make up the technology segmentation of the global smart factory market. The smart factory market was dominated by the MES category in 2019.
Insight by Component
The smart factory market is divided into sensors, machine vision systems, industrial robots, and industrial 3D printing, on the basis of components. Among these, the industrial robotics category is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecasted period. This can be because the implementation of industrial robots improves smart manufacturing processes to increase productivity, improve production volume, and reduce human errors. The lack of skilled labor, and government, corporate, and public partnerships to lessen the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic around the world are other drivers of the industrial robots industry growth.
Moreover, over the course of the study, the market for industrial 3D printing is projected to develop at a significant rate. This is because sectors like aerospace and defense, semiconductor and electronics, automotive, and food and beverage are widely incorporating industrial 3D printing technology.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The growing need for industrial robots, enhanced visibility, the increased emphasis on real-time data analysis, and predictive maintenance, as well as the expanding usage of supporting technologies in production, are the main factors propelling the expansion of the worldwide smart factory market.
Mainstream manual laborers have been laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has also tightened the labor market and raised the unemployment rate. In this scenario, open-source robotic operating systems, sensors, machine learning, and artificial intelligence have allowed for the development of automation solutions, including smart factories, which were previously unimaginable.
Challenges
In the modern technological environment, security continues to be the main source of worry. This is clear from the fact that more than 100 million attacks happened in just the first half of 2019. Moreover, industry experts concur that blockchain technology may be crucial to obtaining the highest level of security.
Opportunities
The market offers several opportunities to players, due to the following reasons:
• Constant 3D printing technology advancements
• Profitable applications for collaborating robotics
