While the years of abundant EM infrastructure investment are gone, a growing technologies that should middle class continues to demand higher wages, the skilled manufacturing talent pool is allow significant cost shrinking, and new global competitors have emerged. Across most manufacturing industries, savings, including much companies are faced with the challenges of less demand and greater supply, putting strains on faster time to market margins already challenged by growing labour and transportation costs. This report leverages on our extensive interactions with companies and experts in the field globally (some of those profiled throughout the report). We identify the latest developments in manufacturing technologies that can materially improve cost structures, either through capacity utilisation or time to market. These should allow companies to maintain or improve their profitability and returns in an increasingly competitive environment. We also consider how these technologies might develop, reshaping the equipment makers’ competitive and regional landscapes. What technologies lead the Factory of the Future (FoF)? We estimate the TAM of The concept of ‘Factory of the Future’ is a broad one. We narrow the scope of our analysis to the six technologies we three areas: (1) manufacturing design and production simulation – this includes technologies analyse at >US$250 bn by such as product lifecycle management software (PLM) for both factory and product design 2020, around half the and Internet of Things software (cloud computing, data analytics); (2) physical US$500+ bn overall manufacturing – industrial robots, collaborative robots allowing for human interaction potential cost savings we (cobots), additive manufacturing (3D printing); and (3) in-factory logistics – automated see as available to guided vehicles (AGVs), radio frequency identification (RFID). We also take a brief look at manufacturers (c.10% of adjacent technologies that might allow optimisation of manufacturing processes or enable global fixed investment) these six technologies (including virtual and augmented reality, machine vision, machine learning, nanotechnology and demand response). Opportunity for >US$500+ bn of cost savings Electronics, food & We estimate the total addressable market (TAM) opportunity for the ‘Factory of the Future’ beverage and machinery capped by the potential cost savings in the key adoption verticals at US$500-650 bn (equating makers are the largest to c.10% of global fixed investment). We see the largest vertical opportunities as electronics, verticals for deployment food & beverage and machine making (e.g. tool makers, electrical, resource and construction equipment). The TAM will likely be split between payments to firms making enabling equipment, and benefits passed on to customers to remain competitive. Margin increases for first-mover adopters are possible near term, but likely will erode as adoption spreads to the rest of the industry. We use two approaches to estimate TAM: (1) Bottom-up (what is the revenue potential for equipment providers?): we assess the six key innovative technologies we think are most relevant in taking out stranded manufacturing costs, considering current penetration and potential pace of adoption to forecast the size of their markets. These six technologies add up to >US$250 bn by 2020E. (2) Top-down (what is the cost savings potential for industries?): we break down fixed investment by industry and look at its level of automation (i.e. robot penetration) and digitisation (i.e. software penetration). We pro-rata the opportunity in each case, looking at the gap vs. the currently most-advanced manufacturing environment (automotive in robots; electronics in software), and at the average cost savings indicated for each industry by manufacturers of the key technologies. We estimate the TAM is capped at US$500-650 bn. Cross-technology synergies, other technologies not profiled, deflating prices of technology as adoption broadens and, most importantly, benefits sharing between makers and users explain why our top-down forecast exceeds our bottom-up forecast.
