The automatic electronic control of industrial processes is known as process automation and instrumentation. It involves using a variety of technologies to regulate and keep an eye on how industrial facilities and plants produce and run. Numerous sectors, including oil and gas, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, power production and distribution, water and wastewater treatment, and chemical and petrochemical, require instrumentation and control systems.

Drivers: Businesses around the world have been concentrating more on raising productivity and cutting operational expenses in order to stay up with the rapidly evolving global technological landscape. A facility's capacity to quickly and unexpectedly adjust to shifts in demand, preference, and resource availability is what determines how efficient it is. Process automation can be used to accomplish this. Additionally, variables like pressure, temperature, level, and humidity are measured and analysed using instrumentation instruments. Process automation systems lower rework, inspection, and system failure costs by enabling process monitoring and control. Thus, process automation lowers expenses and boosts income for manufacturing firms. In order to boost productivity, streamline operations, and lower labor-related expenses, industrial facilities are aggressively implementing equipment solutions and process automation.

Challenges: Process automation is predicted to significantly diminish the number of employment available to the local workforce. In places where employment is mostly industrial, process automation will replace labour with automated machinery, increasing unemployment. This jump may have far-reaching effects on the local populace. Creating sophisticated algorithms that are designed to focus on a particular dataset is occasionally necessary in order to integrate process automation into the manufacturing chain. A data gap in the automated or agile development process may result in unclear development or processes.  

The COVID-19 pandemic has been extraordinary and shocking, and demand for process automation and instrumentation has been lower than expected in every region when compared to levels prior to the epidemic. The 2020 expansion of the process instrumentation sector was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic, mostly because of disruptions in the supply chain and a decrease in demand. The COVID-19 pandemic forced a lot of businesses to reduce their output and close most of their locations. During this crisis, the companies' major objective was to continue operating by locating more stable ways to continue manufacturing or other long-term revenue-generating ventures.
