Human Machine Interface (HMI) Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Component (Hardware, Software), By Configuration Type (Standalone, Embedded), By End-User Industry (Manufacturing, Water And Wastewater, Energy And Power, Automotive, Oil And Gas, Healthcare, Consumer Electronics, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The human-machine interface (HMI) market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.27% over the forecast period, increasing from US$4.539 billion in 2021 to reach a total market size of US$6.947 billion by 2028.

Human-machine interface displays are devices that are used across various industry verticals for providing a visual representation of a control system while offering real-time data acquisition. The major factor driving the demand for HMI solutions is the trend toward industrial automation and its long-run cost-effectiveness as compared to conventional operating solutions. Automation of complex legacy systems poses a major market opportunity as various organizations are opting for a more digitalized framework for effective monitoring and control of their equipment. However, the security concerns regarding the unauthorized access of HMIs by a third party will restrict the demand for these displays.

The major factor driving the demand for HMI systems is the increasing investments in factory automation.

Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution that aims at automating manufacturing activities and improving the data acquisition capabilities of an enterprise. Automation and data acquisition is done by integrating various technologies in the manufacturing process including implementing industrial IoT solutions, additive manufacturing, autonomous robots, system integration, big data, and analytics among many others. HMI display enables the setup of a centralized control center and ease in management of the machinery, which results in improvement of productivity. In addition, technological advancements facilitate flexibility by offering the end user the capability of customizable visualization of the state of the system, further boosting the demand for these devices. Increasing investments in factory automation by big organizations to reduce inefficiencies and unplanned downtime is propelling the demand for these devices. Favorable government policies are promoting the set-up of SMEs worldwide. Increasing adoption of HMI display coupled with the trend towards factory automation among SMEs will boost the demand for these devices over the forecast period.

The surge in demand for fuel-efficient vehicles with well-equipped safety features has positively impacted global automotive production and sales.

Upgrades have become an inescapable feature of the auto business as manufacturing technology evolves at a rapid pace. For instance, the advent of intelligent cars is leading to the development and incorporation of advanced technologies such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane departure warning system (LDW) in vehicles. As a result, the number of vehicles with adaptive cruise control systems has been witnessing good growth globally and is expected to contribute considerably to the growth of the HMI market. For instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2022, global production stood at 85.02 million units which represented a 10% increase over 2020’s production volume. Moreover, the same source stated that in 2022 global automotive sales reached 81.62 million units which signified a 3.6% increase over 2020’s sales volume

By geography, North America and Europe held a significant market share owing to the early adoption of technology and rising demand for better in-vehicle infotainment. In addition, rising investments in renewable power projects to achieve their sustainable development goals and reduce carbon emissions will boost the demand for these solutions. The Asia Pacific region will grow at a significant rate throughout the forecast period on account of the rising number of SMEs and increasing expenditure on factory automation across industry verticals. Various companies in the APAC region are developing smart AI-integrated systems in the market. For instance, In August 2022 - ABB India announced that the company has developed and elevated its smart power factory in Nelamangala, Bengaluru, to fulfill the substantial demand for the solutions and energy management technologies offered by the company. Moreover, the company also said that the smart facility harnesses advanced collaborative robotics technology for better human-machine interface (HMI), artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced digitalization technologies to construct a sophisticated, automated, and flexible future-ready factory.
