Industry 4.0 Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The global industry 4.0 market is projected to reach a value of US$ 89.2 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 484.5 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 18.4%. With Industry 4.0, companies are revolutionizing production, innovation, and distribution processes. New technologies are being incorporated into manufacturers' production facilities and throughout their operations, including cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI). A wide variety of industries can benefit from Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies, including manufacturing companies, oil and gas companies, mining companies, and many others.

In Industry 4.0, manufacturers have an opportunity to reinvent themselves in an information-intensive, connected environment that includes big data, people, processes, services, systems, and IoT-enabled assets. In order to make smart industries and ecosystems of industry collaborations and innovation possible, it is essential to leverage data and information that can be generated, analyzed, leveraged, and used.

Cyber-physical systems are part of Industry 4.0, which represents a fourth industrial

revolution toward an industrial IoT-enabled, end-to-end value chain. A high-tech strategy was presented by the German government at Hannover Messe in 2006. A new government strategy for high-tech innovation in Germany, 'Die Neue Hightech-Strategie Innovationen für Deutschland', described how it intended to drive innovation, including technical and social innovations that revolved around society.

Government officials stated their intention to support businesses and scientists in developing and implementing Industry 4.0, with an emphasis on threats to security and the effects on employment and labor. The government has also identified other priority areas for developing digital infrastructure, including burgeoning data centers, smart services, cloud computing, digital and intelligent networks, and digital education.

Dr. Kagermann and Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) presented their findings five years later, in 2011. Wolf-Dieter Lukas, from the Federal Ministry of Research and Education, introduced the concept of Industry 4.0, which became widely known from then on.

Cyber-physical systems are used to develop new business models as part of the future project Industrie 4.0. In 2013, Bitkom (Germany's digital association), VDMA (German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association), and ZVEI (Germany's Electrical Industry Association) came together as part of the Platter Industrie 4.0 project to further develop the project. Other organizations were also invited to join in later on.

An agreement was announced early in 2016 between the Industrial Internet Consortium and Plattform Industrie 4.0 to collaborate on standards, architectures, and business goals related to the new manufacturing sector. Smart factories are one of the most game-changing verticals in the smart technologies space since they reduce human error, enhance the quality of production, and increase efficiency. Real-time monitoring of manufacturing operations and work conditions will be enabled by smart IoT sensors and devices. In an environment where companies invest heavily in maximizing operational efficiency and productivity, it is likely that the smart factory industry will grow.

A collision is brewing between the parallel narratives associated with cellular 5G and Industry 4.0. According to China, by 2023 it will bring online 30 new smart factories, relying on 5G. In a new Industry 4.0 action plan released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), China plans to construct 30, 5G factories by 2023, three to five international platforms for industrial internet use, and a big data center aimed at supporting the industrial internet. A brand-new generation of homegrown IoT platforms will emerge within the next few years.

2018 to 2022 Industry 4.0 Market Demand Outlook Compared to 2023 to 2033 Forecast

The industry 4.0 market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% for the forecast period, compared to a historic CAGR of 6.8% for the period 2018 to 2022.

Cloud computing and its applications, artificial intelligence, and automation have witnessed impressive technological developments over the historic period; hence, it will not be wrong to assume that the developments that will take place over the forecast period can have vast impacts upon various industries and 4.0.

Greater applications of these technologies that allow industries to save time, reduce costs, and improve efficiency will be attractive to the end users, allowing the market for Industry 4.0 to grow further over the forecast period.

Government pressure upon industries to meet the net-zero emission targets can further push industries to implement smart factory and industry 4.0 solutions and technologies.

Improvement in the Processes and Outputs Delivered by Industries is the Primary Driver for the Industry 4.0 Market While Also Saving Cost and Money

As of today, several large enterprises that have their own production and manufacturing units make use of technology that allows them to improve their outputs. The use of automated image recognition allows manufacturers to carry out quality control and inspection efficiently and faster.

The use of artificial intelligence and data analytics allows industries to make highly accurate forecasts and allows the management to take economical business decisions, while the use of robotic workers allows companies to increase their production and delivery while also reducing human error.

Loss of Employment for Front Workers and Demand for Highly Skilled Employees Could Result in the Creation of Challenges for Industry 4.0

Robotic automation, driverless vehicles, and transportation are among the technologies being used in Industry 4.0, and other technologies such as artificial intelligence can reduce the number of human workers required for any given task. While this may increase the demand for employees who are skilled in operating these technologies, the skill levels required may make it difficult to find the right skilled employees.

But the reduced demand for the number of frontline workers needed in factories, plants, and industries could create a loss of employment for many workers. This can create a situation where there is opposition against some technologies, and certain companies could be discouraged from implementing Industry 4.0 solutions and even face some backlash.

Regional Analysis

North America was estimated to have held the largest market share for industry 4.0 of 26.5%, and although not the fastest region, it will still progress at a high CAGR of 16.5% over the forecast period. East Asia is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR of 18.9% over the forecast period.
