![](/report_cover/10380/industry-40-market-technologies-v-2018-2023_en.gif)
Industry 4.0 is here to stay, there is no doubt about that. The “Industry 4.0 Market & Technologies – 2018-2023” report forecasts that the global Industry 4.0 market** will reach $214B by 2023, 30% larger than the projected 2023 Cybersecurity market size (Figure 1).

HSRC research methodology was based on the following research activities:
In the next decades, businesses will establish global networks that incorporate their machinery, warehousing systems and production facilities in the shape of cyber-physical systems. In the manufacturing environment, these cyber-physical systems comprise smart machines, storage systems and production facilities capable of autonomously exchanging information, triggering actions and controlling each other independently. On the one hand, these changes add to the traditional business pressure on manufacturers, but on the other hand they offer unprecedented opportunities to optimize the production and manufacturing processes.
Industry 4.0 facilitates fundamental improvements in the industrial processes involved in manufacturing, engineering, material purchasing and usage, supply chain and life cycle management, predictive maintenance and real-time management overview. The smart factories that have already appeared across most industries employ a completely novel approach to production. Smart products are uniquely identifiable, they can be located at all times, know their own history, current status and alternative routes to achieving their target state. The embedded manufacturing systems are vertically networked with business processes within factories and enterprises and horizontally connected to dispersed value networks that can be managed in real time from the moment an order is placed right through to outbound logistics. In addition, they both enable and require end-to-end engineering across the entire value chain.
Industry 4.0 holds immense potential. Smart factories allow individual customer requirements to be met, meaning that even one-off items can be manufactured profitably. In Industry 4.0, dynamic business and engineering processes enable last-minute changes to production and deliver the ability to respond flexibly to disruptions and failures on behalf of suppliers.
End-to-end transparency is provided over the manufacturing process, facilitating optimized decision-making. Industry 4.0 will also result in new ways of creating value and novel business models. It will provide start-ups and SMEs with the opportunity to develop and provide downstream services.
The Industry 4.0 competition is not only about technology or offering the best products; it is also, and in particular, about the companies that collect the appropriate data, combine it to provide the best digital services, and in addition, utilize it for their own benefit. Those who know what the customer wants, and can forecast consumer demand, will provide the information to develop an “unfair” competitive advantage.
The major winners might be those that control “Industry 4.0 Platforms”, software layers that syndicate various devices, information and services, on top of which other firms can build their own offerings.
The Industry 4.0 “market race” is led by the global tech giants (Figure 3) that invest billions of dollars in Industry 4.0 products R&D, M&A, commercialization and internal use.
The transformation of the economy being brought about by Industry 4.0 means that business processes such as supply, manufacturing, maintenance, delivery and customer service will all be connected via the Industrial IoT systems. These extremely flexible value networks will require new forms of collaboration between companies, both nationally and globally.
To maintain their industrial base and create new jobs, governments across the globe invest billions of dollars in Industry 4.0 projects and R&D, and provide subsidies and tax incentives for Industry 4.0 investors.
On the one hand, governments and private sectors of countries with high labor costs (e.g., EU countries and the U.S.) invest in Industry 4.0 to increase their industrial sector, which has been taken over by low labor cost countries (Figure 4); and on the other hand, low labor costs industries and their governments (e.g., China, India and Cambodia) react to this trend by also investing in Industry 4.0.
