The process automation and instrumentation market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from US$61.6 billion in 2025 to US$77.6 billion in 2030.
The growing adoption of automation across various end-use industries, driven by rising production costs and stringent regulations on worker safety in hazardous environments, is a key driver of the global process automation and instrumentation market. The demand for energy-efficient processes to reduce material waste further boosts the need for these solutions. Advancements in software for failure detection and reduction, coupled with ongoing technological innovation, are expected to drive market growth through 2030.
By Process Type
The process automation and instrumentation market is segmented into automation and instrumentation. Automation solutions are projected to grow at a higher CAGR through 2030, fueled by their adoption in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and pulp and paper. Concerns over worker safety in hazardous locations, the need to minimize human error and manufacturing cycle times, and the demand for hygienic production environments are key growth factors.
By End-User Industry
The market segments by end-user industry include oil and gas, water and wastewater, power, chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and others. In 2024, the oil and gas sector held significant market share and is expected to maintain the momentum through 2030, driven by global demand and advancements in drilling and exploration technologies. However, volatility in oil prices, with falling Brent crude price remains a key challenge.
