Market Overview
The oil and gas automation market is expected to register a CAGR of over 6.47% during the forecast period, 2019 – 2024. In the oil and gas industry processes, there is always a high demand for safety and reliability. The supply chain of this industry creates a great need for automation, industry expertise, and an extensive partner network. Process automation helps oil and gas producers to integrate information, as well as control, power, and provide safety solutions, in order to respond to the dynamic global demand.
From the past, it is observed that even though the oil prices are fluctuating, the demand for oil and gas remained stable. Price of oil per barrel has gone to a peak level of more than USD 140, and also, a trough low to USD 20, but the average energy consumption is steadily increasing, globally. As of 2017, it was estimated that the world consumed over 98 million barrels of oil every day, indicating a growth of almost 2% when compared to 2016. Such a rate of consumption was primarily spiked by the reduced crude oil prices and increasing demand from automobiles.
In addition to that, since the low prices of crude hit the market in early 2014, the major consumption groups in the Asian and European countries have predominantly benefited from these changes. In fact, according to the British Petroleum’s estimates, the regions witnessed a towering increase in the refinery capacities and throughputs. The refining capacity and throughput of the Asia-Pacific region spiked by 1.3% and 8.6%, respectively, between 2013 and 2016. It is estimated that the region was able to refine over 27,000 million barrels of oil every day, in 2016, owing to cheaper crude oil.
The low crude oil price situation occurred toward the end of 2014, due to the oversupply situation of crude oil, globally. The new-found shale resources in North America and high production in the Middle East forced down the prices in the global market.
To rebalance the situation, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has taken the initiative of minimizing crude oil production, until the prices are back to normal. This has affected the demand for automation in the industry severely.
Although the oil prices have come back to their usual prices, the cutbacks in the name of reserve development and OPEC’s decision are expected to create supply constraints. Cutting back oil production, in order to balance the oversupply situation, might be a meaningful choice. But, the extended cuts, until the end of 2018, are raising the fear that this situation may send the world into a supply shock. Recovering from the oversupply situation is a crucial step for the global oil and gas industry.
However, improving from the case with a supply shock may lead to some unexpected results, thus adversely affecting all the industries.
Scope of the Report
Oil and gas, a dynamic global industry, often faces challenges in cost management, extraction of high value from current assets, and maximization of the up-time. Advancement in technology has led to a connected enterprise, which helps the oil and gas industry to move closer to operational excellence. Cloud, mobility, and analytics offer an actionable view into real-time production data.
Key Market Trends
Enterprise Resource and Planning (ERP) is Expected to Register a Significant Growth
ERP systems offer an integrated real-time view of core operations, such as product planning, development, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. At workstations, these ERP systems enable the scheduling and management of the workflow, while implementing a well-organized product cycle, which is done by monitoring the progress of various processes, as well as providing analytical data that aids decision-making. The features reduce excessive inventory costs. Oil and gas industries are among the early adopters for the ERP system, as the operations are highly dependent upon workflow management and market analysis. ERP providers are designing solutions specific to the upstream, midstream, and downstream activities.
As SCADA systems are capable of integration with ERP solution, real-time asset performance can be monitored and their maintenance schedules can be automated, thereby, avoiding sudden/unplanned downtime. The need for reducing the machine downtime expenses across the upstream and downstream companies supports the growth of the ERP segment in the market studied. SCADA, integrated with ERP, is becoming popular in the oil and gas industry, owing to the focus on safety. In the downstream companies, such integration is allowing companies to correctly map business processes, risk factors, and control mechanisms, thus, streamlining the resource utilization and maintenance capabilities.
Due to the growing importance of synchronizing and supplementing an organization’s business processes, the demand for ERP solutions is expected to increase during the forecast period. However, the availability of open source applications, tough competition, and higher implementation costs are expected to challenge the market’s growth.
United States is Expected to Hold Major Share
The dependence of the oil and gas industry on automation has increased over the past decade, and multiple rounds of industry layoffs were announced that left oil and gas companies with a reduced number of skilled workers. This led to the increasing dependence of US oil companies on automation, in order to complete processes without any delay. In 2017, US exports of crude, as well as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and refined products, continued to rise, which aligned perfectly with the new administration’s motto of “energy dominance” for the United States.
Although the US is still a net importer of crude, the growing place as an energy exporter and low-cost supplier could fundamentally change its position in the global energy landscape. As a result, automation is increasingly being adopted in the oil and gas sector in the United States. In terms of cost reductions, US natural gas producers have lowered and sustained costs, especially in the Marcellus and Haynesville gas plays, with the aid of automation.
For instance, SCADA is widely applied in the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas sectors in the United States. In the upstream sector, its role is often stereotyped as being largely in support of remote data transmission. However, due to the wide and varied use of SCADA in other industrial sectors, this is expected to change. In addition, owners and operators in the United States recognize how IT-based automation can productively address the unique challenges of the upstream oil and gas sector.
Competitive Landscape
The oil and gas automation market is highly competitive and consists of several major players. In terms of market share, few of the major players currently dominate the market. These major players with prominent shares in the market are focusing on expanding their customer base across foreign countries. These companies are leveraging on strategic collaborative initiatives to increase their market share and increase their profitability. The companies operating in the market are also acquiring start-ups working on oil and gas automation to strengthen their product capabilities. In August 2018, Rockwell Automaton added five new members to its Machine Safety System Integrator program. Created in 2014, the program helps industrial companies identify system integrators with current safety standards expertise and a proven track record in designing safety systems.

Market Overview
The European automated material handling market is expected to register a CAGR of over 8.7% during the forecast period 2019 – 2024. Europe has been the most prominent adopter of industrial automation, owing to increasing investments in the Industry 4.0 revolution. According to CBI Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Europe accounts for more than one third of the global Industry 4.0 investments. Western and Northern Europe are its main markets; especially Germany, where the term was originally coined, and which is a frontrunner.
Northern Europe is traditionally the most developed market regarding the use of automation in warehouses. Not only the high labor costs but also special attention to the working conditions at the factory has prompted the adoption of sophisticated and advanced automation. In Scandinavia, System Logistics has supported important clients in the food and beverage sector in the efficient management of warehousing, picking, and material handling operations.
Moreover, in warehouses across Europe, man and machine are increasingly working more closely together, and a lack of efficient and skilled manpower could accelerate automation further, according to JLL, an investment management company.
As Industry 4.0 is expected to grow rapidly in the region, manufacturing will become increasingly reliant on middle- and high-skilled workers. The need for skilled operators to enable the proper functioning and maintenance of AMH systems could potentially be a major impediment, although AMH vendors have been trying to offset this issue by offering periodic maintenance. In addition to higher initial costs, the need for skilled workers to perform a wide range of activities throughout the shelf life of the vehicles is widely considered to be a major concern for this market.
Moreover, the labor market report of the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) found that in Germany, the labor shortage could hit the brakes on growth in Europe’s biggest economy. Almost every second of the 24,000 companies surveyed in Germany has difficulty in filling vacancies. Around 1.6 million jobs cannot be filled currently, according to DIHK.
Scope of the Report
Automated materials handling (AMH) refers to any automation that reduces or eliminates the need for humans to check-in, check-out, sort material, or to move totes and bins containing library material. The mechanical equipment used in AMH systems include check-in machines, sorters, conveyors, singulators, stackers and unstackers, totes, bins, trolleys, and tote carriers.
Key Market Trends
Automotive is Expected to Register a Significant Growth
In Europe, leading countries, such as France and Germany, are investing heavily in machinery and equipment. Their annual robot sales to the automotive industry, as a whole, increased by an average of 7% per year over the period of 2010-2015. During the aforementioned period, the demand from automotive part suppliers increased by 9%, due to a significant order for industrial robots from the motor vehicle sector. With the modernization and digitalization of production systems, the scope for employing innovative machinery and equipment is increasing.
World-class R&D infrastructure, complete industry value-chain integration, and highly qualified workforce create an internationally reputed automotive environment in France. In addition, investments and acquisitions by leading brands, to improve the speed and quality of production, are driving the growth of the automotive end-user vertical segment in the AMH market.
The demand-driven nature of the automotive supply chain in the United Kingdom (involving increasing levels of personalization within a vehicle) are forcing suppliers to the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to opt for automation (with greater levels of flexibility), thereby, leading to the growth of the automotive end-user vertical segment in the AMH market. Russia has the largest market for four wheelers in Europe and contributes heavily to the demand for automation of the assembly lines, of which conveyors are a major part. The major demand arises from this industry, after auto majors, like Volkswagen and Daimler, setup manufacturing facilities in the country.
Germany is Expected to Have the Largest Market Share
Germany is one of the major consumers of automated material handling solutions in the world. According to the recent estimates of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), Germany has a high robot density (294 units per 10,000 workers), after countries, like South Korea and Japan.
Also, Germany, being one of the largest manufacturers of robots, the availability of automated material handling solutions in the country is comparatively high. As of 2017, Germany was the fifth-largest producer of robots in the world. (IFR).
The German automotive industry has one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the world. According to the Germany Trade and Investment (GTAI) agency, of all premium brand vehicle produced globally, over 70% are German-OEM manufactured.
Many top manufacturers in the country are investing in expansion activities. For example, Audi, the third-largest maker of luxury automobiles in the world, based in Germany, plans to invest more than USD 50 billion over the next five years to expand its electric vehicle line up.
Competitive Landscape
The European automated material handling market is highly competitive and consists of several major players. In terms of market share, few of the major players currently dominate the market. These major players with prominent shares in the market are focusing on expanding their customer base across foreign countries. These companies are leveraging on strategic collaborative initiatives to increase their market shares and profitability. The companies operating in the market are also acquiring start-ups working on European automated material handling technologies to strengthen their product capabilities. In April 2018, Verbindungselemente Engel GmbH, a medium-sized wholesaler specializing in connecting technology, entrusted the Viastore software with implementing its proprietary warehouse management system viadat and connecting it to the ERP system DIHA from the LPB Software. Viastore’s software takes over the radio-controlled management of the existing intralogistics processes, enabling it to supply its customers in a faster and error-free manner.
