Automation in Manufacturing Will More than Double by 2030: PwC

PwC’s latest outlook finds manufacturers will more than double automation, AI and advanced‑technology use by 2030, with the median adoption rate climbing from 26% to 68% of operations. Adoption in production and product design is already high, while business support functions such as finance and HR are set to quadruple. The study highlights a widening gap between “future‑fit” firms and laggards, stressing that speed of integration, not just tool acquisition, will drive competitive advantage. Executives also expect 44% of revenue to come from non‑manufacturing services by the decade’s end.
