Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/16/2016 -- Report forecast the global industrial automation in life sciences industry market to grow at a CAGR of 5.69% during the period 2016-2020.

The life sciences industry is characterized by expiring patents, rising cost of R&D, shorter time to market, aggressive marketing, and growing number of strict legal regulations. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are thus embracing flexible methods to optimize the entire supply chain and reduce the time to market. The major types of industrial automation solutions such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and MES are used on a large scale in the life sciences industry. These technologies can be applied to a range of processes, starting from the procurement of raw materials to the distribution of the finished goods.

The life sciences industry is always under close scrutiny from regulatory bodies. Automation technologies offer a range of solutions that are designed to control and monitor, and document the manufacturing and distribution process of drugs according to the standards set by the different government health agencies worldwide.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global industrial automation in life sciences industry market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from sales and aftermarket services of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), manufacturing execution systems (MES), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and distributed control system (DCS).

The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA

According to the report, a key growth driver is the changing demographics. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising consumer wealth, and aging of the average population are expected to boost the demand for life sciences products, thus necessitating the need for automation of manufacturing and operational processes. Population is aging in developed countries, including Western Europe and Japan. Life expectancy is estimated to increase from 72.4 years in 2014 to 73.6 years in 2020; as a result, the number of people aged more than 65 years will increase to over 606 million or 10.9% of the global population. People aged more than 65 years is estimated to form 22% in Western Europe and 29% in Japan. The rise in life expectancy results from a number of factors such as enhanced living conditions, prevention of communicable diseases, improved sanitation, and growing access to medicine.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could impede market growth is third party access. Such access raises the risk of data breaches and IP leaks.
