Together with its variety of subsectors, the smart factory industry comprises thousands of SMEs. It is the backbone of developed economies and is shaped by distinct developmental forces. Permanent technological advances, increasingly complex innovations, automation (Industry 4.0) and miniaturisation are revolutionising the sector while offering opportunities for stable growth. Internationalisation and regionalisation, project cycles and scarcity of highly qualified personnel are daily challenges for all players.
Consolidation is progressing at different rates in the various subsectors. And in parallel, technical innovation is continually creating new subsectors and niches.
