  • In February 2025, Rockwell Automation, in partnership with Cisco, launched a digital skills initiative to bridge the talent gap in advanced manufacturing, supporting the integration of automation and digital technologies.
  • In March 2025, Dassault Systemes collaborated with NTT e-MOI to support Vietnam's industrial growth through its 3DEXPERIENCE platform, enabling sectors such as aerospace, defense, and transportation to improve operational efficiency.

Demand - Drivers, Challenges, and Opportunities

Market Driver: Surging Demand for Smart Factories and Industry 4.0

  • Manufacturers worldwide are increasingly embracing smart factories and Industry 4.0 principles as they seek to modernize operations. These "factories of the future" leverage connected devices, data analytics, automation, and AI to improve efficiency and flexibility. In recent years, the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies has accelerated markedly; for instance, a regional survey observed an 80% jump in Industry 4.0 adoption since 2019, with companies turning to advanced tech to boost productivity and offset labor gaps.

Market Challenge: High Implementation and Maintenance Costs

  • Despite the promise of emerging technologies, many manufacturers are held back by the high costs of implementation and maintenance. Adopting smart factory systems, whether installing industrial IoT sensors network-wide or deploying fleets of robots, often requires a substantial upfront capital investment. Purchasing advanced equipment, upgrading IT infrastructure, and integrating new systems can strain budgets, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Even after initial deployment, ongoing costs for maintenance, software updates, and specialized tech support remain significant.

Market Opportunity: Growth of Digital Twins for Real-Time Simulation and Optimization

  • The rise of digital twin technology presents a significant opportunity in manufacturing. A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical asset or process that is continuously updated with real-time data from its physical counterpart. In a factory setting, digital twins can be created for individual machines, entire production lines, or even an end-to-end supply chain. This enables manufacturers to simulate and analyze operations in a risk-free virtual environment. For instance, a digital twin of a production line can run real-time simulations to test what-if scenarios, such as adjusting a machine's speed or re-routing process flow, and immediately show the impact on output, quality, and other metrics.
