The factory automation market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 7,670.72 million in 2022 to US$ 11,134.40 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2028.

Automation in Mining Industry

To make mining business more profitable, the continuous supply of ore to the third party, rise in efficiency, ease of transport, and metal extraction should all be improved. The industry is gradually focusing on automation for this improvement, as technological advancements in factory automation will increase overall returns for the company. Also, digitization has recently been reliable enough to be used in the tough mining environment without affecting mineral production. According to the white paper by Accenture and the World Economic Forum, smart mining, particularly the implementation of 5G network, will reduce fatalities by 10% and injuries by 20% over the next decade. Also, according to the Ericsson’s Connected Mining report, private 5G networks can reduce round-trip latency by 95% which will surge the demand for digitization in mining, leading to the market growth in the region. Factory automation systems have gradually reduced the role of a miner in the pit and provided a safer work environment for the operator. Also, it offers real-time information and data on mining operations, thereby helping them analyze the overall mining process, make mining process more visible, and gain full control of their fleets. It also helps reduce their capital and labor costs, thus improving their energy efficiency. According to the case study by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, by using automation for drilling and blasting, approximately US$ 2.48 million were saved annually at the Aitik mine alone. These factors are expected to influence the demand for automation solutions in the mining industry, thereby contributing to the growth of the market.

Market Overview

The Middle East & Africa factory automation market is further segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the Rest of MEA. The above countries in the region are adopting factory automation and smart working technique to enhance their manufacturing capabilities.
