According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Middle East & Africa Factory Automation Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 7.50% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The factory automation market of the Middle East and Africa is developing with the rollout of a cluster that is focused on major industrial areas, economic cities, and export manufacturing centers. In the Gulf, the adoption is guided by the national agenda of diversification of industries, investments in new capacity, and the urgency to increase productivity and quality on the global level. Connected operations and robotics, and more powerful local ecosystems of integrators and service partners, are increasingly becoming the design of new build plants and brownfield upgrades. Africa has the best momentum when the manufacturing scale and process industries are implemented, and reliability, energy efficiency, and production stability are the priorities of automation. In both areas, demand is growing in hardware to software, data, and services, such as MES, condition monitoring, remote support, and cybersecurity, as companies are seeking quantifiable improvements in performance, and not a one-off technology pilot.

Segments that transform the industry

• According to the component, the market of the Middle East and Africa Factory Automation can be divided into hardware and software. The hardware category has dominated the majority of the market share. This is very much fueled by further investment in the underlying automation equipment like industrial robots, programmable logic controllers, drives, sensors, machine vision, and safety systems, especially in new manufacturing plants and in new retrofits. A large number of end users continue to value the physical upgrades that have short-term benefits in terms of throughput, quality consistency, and safety of operations. Also, hardware acquisition is more readily defensible through capital spending budgets, and software integration can be postponed due to integration complexity, data preparation, and skills shortages. The demand for software is, however, on an increasing trend as plants seek to connect, to get performance analytics, to remotely monitor, so as to make maximum use of the hardware installed.

According to the report, Government-led industrial diversification & Incentives have been identified as a key driver for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:

• A key driver of the adoption of factory automation in the Middle East and Africa is government-funded industrial diversification and incentive programs. To modernize industrial bases, governments coordinate policies, infrastructure, and capital to shift to higher-value production while reducing reliance on hydrocarbons. Specific programs such as industrial zones, tax breaks, free land and utilities, expedited approval, and combined technology renewals minimize the project risk and reduce ROI on robotics, controls, and plant software. Another aspect that supports the standardization of the processes, computerization of quality management, and enhancing traceability is public procurement and local-content requirements, which can assist manufacturers in satisfying export and supplier standards. Simultaneously, using ports, power, and connectivity enhancements makes the business case of IIoT, MES, and predictive maintenance at scale. These programs create integrators and training firms and financial facilities as well, which enable SMEs to embrace automation instead of lagging behind bigger firms. For instance, in 2025, the government of the UAE announced its plans to invest in industrial automation under Operation 300bn. With this plan, the UAE government will invest USD 8.2 billion (AED 30 bn) to improve industrial output through technology adoption.
