The oil and gas industry led the Factory Automation Platform as a Service market, in terms of market size, between 2016 and 2022. The oil and gas industry has a high growth rate in the Asia-Pacific region. However, North America holds the largest market ize because of the large industry base where the adoption of Factory Automation Platform as a Service has reduced the production cost and improved the connectivity.



Manufacturers are increasingly adopting the manufacturing execution system (MES) platform because it saves costs and provides opportunities for facilitating operations and delivering high performance of their production assets across the supply chain.

The key players in this market focus on strategic partnerships, acquisitions, agreements, and new product launches to increase their revenue.
