India's Largest Automation Show Gets a Research Partner: Coherent Market Insights Joins Automation Expo 2026 as Knowledge Partner

Report on India's Process and Factory Automation Market to debut alongside 65,000+ visitors and 2,000+ exhibitors at Mumbai's Bombay Exhibition Centre

Mumbai, India, July 2026 — Automation Expo 2026, India's largest industrial automation, robotics, and smart manufacturing exhibition, opens its 19th edition from 22–25 July 2026 at Hall 2, 3 & 6, Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Goregaon, Mumbai and this year it arrives with a new research partner. Coherent Market Insights (CMI) has been named the event's official Knowledge Partner.

Organized by IED Communications Ltd., Automation Expo 2026 is expected to draw more than 65,000 visitors and over 2,000 exhibitors displaying more than 40,000 products across factory automation, process automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, IIoT, machine vision, and cybersecurity cementing its position as one of Asia's largest platforms for the sector. The 2026 theme, "The Shape of Things to Come," reflects the direction of the industry itself: digital and AI-led transformation, sustainability in automation, cybersecurity for smart factories, and scalable solutions built for global competitiveness.

It is against this backdrop that CMI will introduce a co-branded Industry Insights Report, "India Process and Factory Automation Market," designed to translate the scale of the show floor into a structured, usable resource for the people walking it. The report gives exhibitors, visitors, and other stakeholders a comparative look at Industrial Automation versus Process & Factory Automation market sizing, an India-specific outlook built on a 2025 baseline with projections through 2033, and a regional breakdown of demand across West, North, South, and East India. It also benchmarks India's position globally and tracks the pace of Industry 4.0 adoption, smart manufacturing, and digital transformation across sectors.

The report's sector-level detail extends to automation demand in automotive, pharmaceuticals, electronics, food processing, chemicals, metals, utilities, and other manufacturing verticals, alongside a look at emerging demand pools in semiconductors, ATMP & OSAT facilities, green hydrogen, renewable energy, and hyperscale data centres. It rounds out with strategic perspectives on export opportunities, market risks, growth drivers, and a roadmap extending through 2033.

Programmes such as Make in India, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, and the India Semiconductor Mission are steering fresh investment into Indian manufacturing, even as factories increasingly turn to AI, robotics, PLCs, SCADA, DCS, and MES platforms to become more connected and autonomous. Ongoing investment in digital manufacturing infrastructure and industrial decarbonisation is likely to keep influencing how process and factory automation demand evolves in India in the years ahead making the timing of CMI's report, and its debut at Automation Expo, particularly relevant.

The report will be made available to attendees throughout the four-day event, positioned as a reference for manufacturers, system integrators, technology providers, and policymakers evaluating where to focus within India's automation ecosystem.

Beyond the report, this year's expo features dedicated zones such as the Robotics Zone, Machine Vision Zone, Quality Inspection Zone, Assembly Automation Zone, and Innovation & Startup Zone — plus co-located events including the Control Room Conference and an OT Cybersecurity Workshop.
