According to the report, the global industrial 5G automation market is projected to expand from USD 4.8 billion in 2025 to USD 58.5 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 28.4%, the highest during the forecast period. The rapidly growing coverage of private 5G networks in industrial and manufacturing facilities is playing a key role in the modernization of manufacturing by providing deterministic connectivity, real-time control and large-scale support for IoT.
For instance, in January 2025, Siemens expanded its private 5G portfolio in the Xcelerator ecosystem, providing scalable factory automation solutions to support up to 24 radio units per location, including with AGVs, robotics and smart sensor-based manufacturing systems. This is driving the adoption of smart factory with enhanced automation efficiency, scalability, and real-time connectivity.
Additionally, the synergy between edge computing and industrial 5G is fueling the need for real-time analytics, predictive maintenance, and autonomous production systems, which enhance data processing at the network edge and decrease latency. For instance, in May 2025, expanded its Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) and MX Industrial Edge platform worldwide, providing AI-driven edge processing for private 5G networks in manufacturing, ports and utilities. This is strengthening autonomous industrial operations through faster data processing, lower latency, and improved real-time decision-making capabilities.
Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Industrial 5G Automation Market
The partial compatibility of legacy industrial systems with the new private 5G technology is preventing the widespread implementation of IoT-based automation systems, with the need for upgrading legacy systems for private 5G deployment requiring significant investments, downtime, and expertise to modernize and integrate with OT systems for smart manufacturing.
The expansion of digital twin applications in manufacturing and industrial operations is driving significant potential for industrial 5G automation vendors. Digital twins are becoming a key technology for industrial enterprises to simulate production processes, track the performance of their equipment and optimize its real-time operation. By enabling low latency, high-speed connections, Industrial 5G networks help ensure synchronization between physical assets and virtual industrial models, allowing for predictive analytics, remote monitoring and intelligent process optimization in complex industrial settings.
