According to the report, the global process automation market is projected to expand from USD 107.3 billion in 2025 to USD 188.6 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 5.8%, the highest during the forecast period. The growing need for integrated, data-centric control platforms that improve operational effectiveness and real-time decision-making is another factor propelling the process automation market. For instance, in May 2025, Emerson also added advanced industrial AI and analytics to its AspenTech to improve process performance and sustainability. This driver enhances the productivity, optimizes the use of assets, and promotes the adoption of automation, which is scalable and efficiency-oriented.
Additionally, the growing government interest in industrial automation and digital infrastructure, which is encouraging the implementation of advanced process automation systems with financial support, regulatory measures, and other enabling policies to achieve efficiency, safety, and sustainability of key industrial sectors. This motor stimulates technological usage, better operational safety and efficiency, and innovation, which leads to growth and modernization in the process automation sector in general.
“Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Process Automation Market”
Shortage of skilled automation and control engineers limits effective deployment and optimization of advanced automation systems. As process automation platforms become more software-centric and data-driven, the lack of specialized talent increases implementation timelines and operational dependency on external system integrators. This restraint slows automation adoption, increases project costs, and prolongs deployment timelines due to higher reliance on external expertise.
Rapid modernization of brownfield industrial facilities presents strong growth potential for process automation. Upgrading aging plants with modular, interoperable automation platforms allows operators to improve reliability, extend asset life, and enhance process visibility without full plant replacement, creating sustained demand for retrofit-focused automation solutions. This opportunity drives steady market growth by enabling cost-effective upgrades, improving plant performance, and extending the lifecycle of existing industrial assets.
