The manufacturing execution system market is expected to grow from USD 11.5 billion in 2021 to USD 17.1 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2021 to 2026. A few key factors driving the growth of this market include increasing use of industrial automation in process and discrete industries, increasing IT and OT convergence, and the need for mass production and a connected supply chain to cater to the growing population.

“Manufacturing execution system market for on-premise deployment to hold larger share during the forecast period”
The manufacturing execution system market for on-premise deployment holds a larger share during the forecast period. The on-premises model enables manufacturers to host applications within the office premises. Unlike the on-demand model, the on-premises model is dedicated to only one organization. In this deployment type, the user has to bear the cost of purchasing and maintaining the software and infrastructure. It offers hosted services to a limited number of people within a firewall, thereby minimizing security concerns.

“Manufacturing execution systems for discrete industry in automotive is expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period”
The manufacturing execution system market for automotive is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The intense competition in the automobile industry has led to an increase in innovations and technologies in automobiles. The automotive sector has been witnessing rapid changes in manufacturing technologies. Most of the functions such as inventory management, performance analysis, design process, and supply chain management, which are time-consuming when carried out manually, can be automated with the help of manufacturing execution systems.

“APAC to witness highest CAGR in manufacturing execution system market during the forecast period”
The APAC region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the manufacturing execution system market during the forecast period. The demand for manufacturing execution systems is very high in APAC for implementing the change from manual or legacy systems to automated systems. The MES market in China is expected to grow mainly due to the increasing number of manufacturing units in the country, which is expected to create huge demand for MES software. Another reason for the growth of the MES market in APAC is the increase in the number of manufacturing plants in various sectors such as automotive, textiles, power, and pharmaceuticals where manufacturing execution systems are in high demand. China and India are considered to be the growth engines for the MES market in APAC.
