North America has an array of opportunities for discrete automation due to growing infrastructural amenities. The government is also actively funding plans and policies that are promoting infrastructure, which includes several industry verticals such as food processing, construction, automotive, and others in North America. According to the White House fact sheet, in association with the budget for 2018, the President has targeted an investment of USD 1 trillion in infrastructure through a combination of non-federal funding, federal funding, and prioritized expedited projects. Additionally, the Infrastructure Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant program with 26 projects in line amounting to 1.5 billion dollars in FY 2018 has also fueled the infrastructure sector in North America.
Europe has several areas of opportunities for the discrete automation market to grow. This is attributed to the EU being one of the world’s largest producers of automobiles and the largest private investor in research and development (R&D). To reinforce the competitiveness of the EU automotive sector among the other regions and preserve its global leadership in technology, the European Commission supports technological harmonization by providing funding for R&D.
Asia-Pacific market for discrete automation has a vast area of application on account of the growing manufacturing processes of small manufacturers. Developing regions such as Indonesia, China, India, and others have emerged as a strong manufacturing base owing to the several government initiatives undertaken to promote manufacturing. For instance, the “Make in India” program launched to place India as a manufacturing hub in the world map, and give significant recognition to the Indian economy.
Latin America has been witnessing strong demand for automobiles, which has significantly increased manufacturing processes in regions such as Brazil, Argentina, and others. To meet this increasing demand, manufacturing processes must be precise and fast, providing growth opportunities for discrete automation in the sector.
