Market Trends of Safety Motion Control Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Safety Motion Control Market according to our research experts:
Automotive Industry to Witness Huge Demand
- The demand for safety motion control systems in the automotive industry has seen a marked increase due to the developments in the manufacturing and assembly processes of HCV’s and high-end motor vehicles.
- High-end motion controllers are used in the automotive industry for controlling the movements of mechanical parts in the production process. Safety motion control systems are extensively used during the manufacturing of major components, like engines and driver assistance systems.
- All the important automotive suppliers have been relying on motion control systems to optimize their production chains through actuators and robotic arms. Furthermore, assembling and maintenance processes are also witnessing increased adoption of safety motion control systems.
- For instance, vehicle assembly (an exhaustive process requiring high levels of precision and throughput) has been using safety control systems widely for performing repetitive tasks for using minimal resources.
- Moreover, the increase in the production of automobile vehicles is expected to drive the motion controller market. According to the Motion Control and Motor Association, the global motion control and the motor market experienced record growth in 2018, with USD 3.827 billion in shipments, increasing by 8% from 2017. The largest categories within the overall market were motors (40%), actuators and mechanical systems (19%), and electronic drives (17%).
- Owing to the ongoing recession in automotive manufacturing was further hit by nation-wide lockdown, which could also result in a decrease in demand for some vendors for the short term. For instance, Germany-based Siemens AG’s orders for the Digital Industries segment declined from EUR 16,287 million, in 2018, to EUR 15,944 million in 2019, a decrease of 4%, largely as a result of weakened demand in the motion control and short-cycle factory automation businesses. To which company faced adverse market conditions during the fiscal year 2019, particularly in the automotive and machine-building industries. However, the crisis is also expected to create new opportunities and revenue streams in the market.
