United Kingdom Factory Automation and Industrial Control Systems Market

 The UK factory automation and industrial controls market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.05% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Digitization and Industry 4.0 revolution have significantly stimulated the growth of automation among manufacturing industries by necessitating smarter and automated solutions, such as robotics and control systems, to improve production processes.


- ​Automated factories and processes are capital-intensive investments. In order to be rebuilt for modification and design change, they require to be highly configurable and flexible. To reconfigure an entire production line or any manufacturing process, they require direct access to the control elements, switches, valves, motors, and drives.​

- With the rapid increase in competition and evolving end-user requirements, manufacturing units in the United Kingdom are also being forced to adopt newer technological innovations and digital transformation solutions to make their business process as efficient as possible. For instance, field devices, like motors and sensors, offer opportunities to the automotive industry to react faster to market requirements, reduce manufacturing downtimes, enhance the efficiency of supply chains, and expand productivity.

- However, the economic downturn is likely to affect the country’s adoption of automation and ICS. For instance, amid the COVID-19 outbreak, Leesman's survey spanning 700,000 employees, worldwide, states that within 52,240 employed in the manufacturing and engineering space, 53% have no home working experience.

Key Market Trends

Automotive and Transportation will be One of the Key Drivers of the Market



- According to UBS, the projected electric vehicle sales in Europe are expected to reach 6.33 million units by 2025. Moreover, since it has been identified that the auto assembly increased significantly using automation, showing a growth pattern in the number of cars being produced worldwide while simultaneously cutting costs, smart factory implementation in this sector has grown considerably.

- Automakers in recent years have automated their plants. Many companies have been identified as tending to opt for one-stop automation solution providers who can cater to all of their automation needs in order to gain better returns and efficiency, thereby, driving the smart factory market.

- For instance, in July 2019, International Automotive Components (IAC) implemented manufacturing 4.0 and smart factory applications at its UK site in Halewood, England. The new application is expected to deploy smart logistics, cross-company integration, and collaborative robots (cobots).â€

Programable Logic​ Controller (PLC)​ are Expected to Drive the Growth of the Market

- Additionally, PLCs can work in severe industrial environmental conditions. They operate normally under conditions of voltage fluctuations, temperature, humidity, and heavy noise.

- Another major trend observed in the market is the adoption of integrated solutions/devices, such as the embedding of PLCs with other industrial controls (such as HMIs or SCADA). These integrations have offered greater efficacy and visibility in factory operations and have allowed workload on central controllers to be cut.

- With robots being one of the primary end-user of PLCs, the market is expected to benefit significantly from the global robotics boom in the country. For instance, according to the IFR, the annual multipurpose industrial robot shipments in the United Kingdom were estimated to be around 2,000 units in 2019. That year, the UK's operational stock of multipurpose industrial robots stood at about 21,700 units.
Competitive Landscape

The UK factory automation and industrial controls market is moderately consolidated. The market is dominated by major players but is increasingly witnessing the entry of new start-ups. These start-ups are getting ample support from the UK government programs.
