New industry report highlights emerging opportunities in smart manufacturing, robotics, and process automation through 2033

Mumbai, India, July 2026 — The rapid evolution of India's manufacturing sector is creating new opportunities for automation technologies, digital factories, and intelligent production systems. Supporting this transformation, Coherent Market Insights (CMI) has been announced as the Official Knowledge Partner for Automation Expo 2026, scheduled from 22–25 July 2026 at Hall 2, 3 & 6, Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Goregaon, Mumbai.

Recognized as India's flagship exhibition for industrial automation, the event is organized by IED Communications Ltd. and is expected to bring together over 65,000 visitors, more than 2,000 exhibitors, and 40,000+ automation products and technologies. Covering sectors such as robotics, process automation, factory automation, artificial intelligence, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), machine vision, and industrial cybersecurity, the exhibition serves as a meeting point for manufacturers, technology innovators, automation suppliers, and business leaders. Under the 2026 theme, "The Shape of Things to Come," the event will focus on AI-enabled manufacturing, connected industrial ecosystems, sustainability, and secure digital operations.

As Knowledge Partner, CMI will introduce an exclusive research publication titled "India Process and Factory Automation Market." The report has been developed to provide a comprehensive understanding of India's automation industry while helping exhibitors and visitors identify future business opportunities and investment trends.

The research presents a comparative analysis of the Industrial Automation and Process & Factory Automation markets, evaluates India's market outlook from a 2025 benchmark through 2033, and examines regional demand across North, South, East, and West India. It also measures India's position in the global automation landscape while exploring the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, digital factories, smart manufacturing systems, and connected industrial infrastructure.

The report further investigates automation demand across industries including automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food processing, metals, utilities, and other manufacturing sectors. Emerging growth areas—including semiconductor manufacturing, ATMP and OSAT facilities, renewable energy infrastructure, green hydrogen projects, and hyperscale data centres—are also analyzed to provide a broader perspective on future industrial investment. Strategic insights covering market drivers, business opportunities, competitive challenges, export prospects, and long-term growth forecasts through 2033 complete the study.

India's manufacturing ecosystem continues to benefit from policy initiatives such as Make in India, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, and the India Semiconductor Mission, which are encouraging modernization across industrial sectors. At the same time, organizations are increasingly implementing robotics, AI-powered automation, PLC, SCADA, DCS, MES platforms, and advanced analytics to improve operational efficiency and production quality. These developments are expected to accelerate demand for intelligent automation solutions across the country over the coming years.

Throughout the exhibition, attendees will receive access to the report as a strategic knowledge resource supporting investment planning, technology adoption, and market expansion decisions. The publication is intended to benefit manufacturers, automation solution providers, system integrators, investors, consultants, and policymakers seeking a deeper understanding of India's evolving automation market.

Automation Expo 2026 will also feature dedicated experience areas including the Robotics Zone, Machine Vision Zone, Quality Inspection Zone, Assembly Automation Zone, and Innovation & Startup Zone. In addition, visitors can participate in specialized industry programs such as the Control Room Conference and the OT Cybersecurity Workshop, designed to address emerging challenges and innovations within industrial automation.
