New co-branded intelligence report maps India's automation growth story through 2033, debuting at Asia's largest automation exhibition in Mumbai

Mumbai, India, July 2026 — As India's manufacturing sector accelerates its shift toward smart, connected production, Coherent Market Insights (CMI) has been named the official Knowledge Partner for Automation Expo 2026, taking place 22–25 July 2026 across Hall 2, 3 & 6 of the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Goregaon, Mumbai.

The partnership positions CMI's research at the center of one of Asia's most significant industrial gatherings. Now in its 19th edition and organized by IED Communications Ltd., Automation Expo is India's largest automation event, expected to welcome more than 65,000 visitors and over 2,000 exhibitors presenting more than 40,000 products spanning factory automation, process automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, IIoT, machine vision, and cybersecurity. This edition's theme, "The Shape of Things to Come," spotlights digital and AI-led transformation, sustainability, cybersecurity in smart factories, and scalable solutions for global competitiveness.

At the heart of CMI's contribution is a co-branded Industry Insights Report, "India Process and Factory Automation Market," built to give exhibitors, visitors, and industry stakeholders a structured, data-backed view of one of the country's fastest-growing industrial segments. The report's scope spans a market size comparison between Industrial Automation and Process & Factory Automation; an India market outlook anchored to a 2025 baseline with a forecast horizon through 2033; regional demand patterns across West, North, South, and East India; global benchmarking to assess India's competitive standing; and an examination of Industry 4.0 adoption, smart manufacturing, and digital transformation across sectors.

Beyond the macro view, the report drills into automation demand across automotive, pharmaceuticals, electronics, food processing, chemicals, metals, utilities, and other manufacturing verticals, while flagging emerging opportunities in semiconductors, ATMP & OSAT facilities, green hydrogen, renewable energy, and hyperscale data centres. It closes with strategic insights on export opportunities, market risks, growth drivers, and a roadmap through 2033 intended as a practical reference for decision-makers navigating the sector.

The timing reflects a moment of structural change across Indian industry. Government-backed programmes such as Make in India, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, and the India Semiconductor Mission are redirecting investment nationwide, while growing adoption of AI, robotics, PLCs, SCADA, DCS, and MES platforms is pushing factories toward greater connectivity and intelligence. Sustained investment in digital manufacturing infrastructure and industrial decarbonisation is expected to keep shaping demand for process and factory automation in the years ahead.

The report will be distributed to attendees and stakeholders throughout Automation Expo 2026, serving as a reference point for manufacturers, system integrators, technology providers, and policymakers assessing opportunities within India's automation landscape.

Visitors to the four-day event can also explore dedicated zones including the Robotics Zone, Machine Vision Zone, Quality Inspection Zone, Assembly Automation Zone, and Innovation & Startup Zone alongside co-located programming such as the Control Room Conference and an OT Cybersecurity Workshop.
