The market became more focused on manufacturing essential products to survive during the pandemic as demand for non-essential products reduced. However, the market was able to grow during pandemic as enterprises needed to provide their services and products safely and quickly. The market grew during this unusual event as a direct result of demand, government financial assistance, and technical support.
Information technology and automobile industries are two most prevalent industries for industry 4.0. The market has helped automotive manufacturers build automated assembly lines not only for parts but also to manufacture the entire car. For instance, in 2021, Audi used its Production Lab (P-Lab) department to create real-life use cases for modern technology in everyday manufacturing. Industrial automation has developed an in-depth and in-demand market based solely on benefits and opportunities it offers other industries. Regardless of industry, every company or manufacturer aims to apply smart manufacturing to their processes, thus increasing the overall market.
Additionally, information technology industry is at forefront of the existence of the market and also its development. The market has grown standardized due to the widespread standardization and recent installation of internet of things (IoT). Internet of Things has normalized entry-level manufacturing, application, and execution of market technology worldwide. Information technology industry uses augmented reality, virtual reality, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and many other modern solutions to keep industry on the front foot to meet contemporary challenges and demands. For instance, in July 2021, Qualcomm began applying its advanced 5G technology to smart manufacturing by unleashing the power of IoT.
Furthermore, the industry is growing momentum in developing countries like India, Mexico, and Brazil. As developing countries are experiencing industrialization at an excessive rate, companies and industrial plants see this as an opportunity. Along with technological and logistical advancements, governments in developing countries enact laws that benefit businesses, allowing the market to thrive.
