KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Motion Control Market is projected to grow from USD 15.7 billion in 2021 to USD 22.3 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. Motion control is essential technological foundation of industrial robots. It is important to properly measure the position of an object in order to control the action of a machine.

A natural stage in the implementation of a motion control system is a feedback comparison between the actual position and the target. This comparison generates an error signal that can be utilized to fix the system, resulting in consistent and accurate outputs. 

The motion control business is being propelled forward by the increased need for industrial robots in manufacturing processes, as well as the ease of use and integration of components within motion control systems. Furthermore, one of the opportunities for the growth of the motion control market is the adoption of Industry 4.0 by manufacturing organizations.   

COVID-19 ANALYSIS          

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the need for factory digitalization, automation, and artificial intelligence to improve pandemic resilience in the future. Due to supply chain delays and production activity suspensions caused by social distancing conventions, various sector players are seeking for different solutions to avoid similar crises in the future.

In this case, automation and robotics can boost productivity, minimize reliance on human labor, and lessen the likelihood of plant shutdowns. Automation, in combination with other technologies such as digitization and artificial intelligence, will enable enterprises to continue producing without the need for human supervision.

Increasing Uses of Integrated Communications Systems Propel Market Growth   

Data and information are exchanged in real-time using industrial communication networks. Most real-time Ethernet standards necessitate a specific IP with MAC extensions, which allow communication protocols to prioritize, organize, and synchronize cyclical data flow between the controller and the field device network.

Manufacturers are concentrating on developing new versions of motion controllers that may be used efficiently to meet application-specific needs in fast-rising sectors such as medical and semiconductors & electronics.

DRIVING FACTORS    

Rising Demand for Industrial Robots Drive Market Growth

In manufacturing facilities, the usage of robotics has expanded dramatically. Material handling and inspections are all areas where they are used. For appropriate operation, robotics employs a variety of motion control systems. Industrial robots are in high demand because they assist reducing the complexity of manufacturing operations. All industrial robots have some sort of motion control, which helps them perform better, and perform new functions in production processes.

Assembling, picking and arranging, packaging, and palletizing are just a few of the tasks that industrial robots can handle. The motion controller must be connected to the robot controller in order to conduct these activities. In robot motion control, electronic components such as servo motors, DC motors, and motion controllers are frequently used.  

RESTRAINTS

Motion Control Systems Have High Replacement and Maintenance Costs 

A motion control system has several components, which has a direct impact on the cost of machine replacement and maintenance. The more component kinds there are, the more expensive the spare parts inventory becomes. Because some motors come into physical touch with a commutator, their replacement costs are significant. The advantages of using motion control for automation, on the other hand, considerably outweigh these drawbacks.
