Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

The North America digital transformation in manufacturing market size is expected to reach $25.70 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., rising at a CAGR of 17.2% during the forecast period. The manufacturing industry is inclined towards deploying digital manufacturing solutions that offer greater efficiency and productivity and minimize manufacturing costs.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the driving factor behind modernization of manufacturing procedures, which is being undertaken to help make smarter real-time production decisions. Integration of AI and robotics to improve productivity of manufacturing processes is a major trend that is being currently observed in the market.

Manufacturing companies in the region are shifting their focus from large-scale manufacturing to customized manufacturing. Since customers are increasingly demanding tailor-made products, manufacturing companies are making efforts to fulfill these demands in real time. In response to the growing trend, manufacturing companies are adopting Industry 4.0 standards that include cyber-physical systems to monitor processes in factories and make decentralized decisions.

Moreover, use of drones for product delivery is an emerging trend in the region. Drones are considered to be the future of last-mile delivery for consumer goods as they are cost effective and also assist in reducing delivery time. For instance, in December 2016, Amazon.com, Inc. launched the Amazon Prime Air project in the U.S., which involved use of drones for delivering products within 30 minutes.

Further key findings from the report suggest:
