HMI Market Size

Human Machine Interface Market Analysis

The HMI Market size is estimated at USD 5.02 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 7.34 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.90% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Features, such as alarm warnings, safe messaging, and improved internal communications, are expected to provide an advantage to a facility regarding security, operations, and production. Newer HMI is expected to reduce operation costs by substituting traditional push buttons, indicator lights, and selectors, lowering the requirement of additional display panels and cables, and further enhancing monitoring of the machines.

• The significance of user interfaces has become increasingly clear over the past years. Apple's products, such as iPod or iPhone, are iconic examples of how intuitive user interfaces have entirely changed the perception of particular product types. The success of Apple's products and other consumer-oriented merchandise shows that standard aesthetics products, graphics, and environment significantly contribute to brand distinction and consistent customer experiences. Many industrial corporations have arrived at the same conclusion and are starting to focus more on the quality of user interfaces in their products. Higher levels of functionality and interactions embedded in the HMI and increasing need of users, such as multi-touch screens and high-quality displays, are expected to drive the market growth.
• Also, HMI is used in various avenues, including manufacturing plants, vending machines, the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and other utilities. HMIs, in combination with PLCs, are the mainstay of the production line in these industries. The integration of the HMI into manufacturing has vastly improved operations. The HMI enables supervisory control and data acquisition in the entire system, so parameter changes are feasible as the operator chooses. For example, in the manufacturing of metals, HMI might control the method and speed at which a metal is cut and folded. HMI offers improved stock control and replenishment, so fewer trips are required out to vendors.
• According to British Petroleum (BP), global oil consumption reached approximately 94.1 million barrels per day in 2021, an increase of over six percent compared to the previous year. In addition, BP also stated that even after all kinds of financial crises and the coronavirus pandemic, oil consumption has consecutively increased every year since 1998 and is expected to increase more in the future as well, which will, in return, lead to an increase in market numbers for the HMI market.
• The outbreak of COVID-19 influenced global industrial spending significantly over the period, as the non-operational status of various industries deemed non-essential by governments across the world faced huge losses during the initial face, which later went to a steady approach towards regular industrial work as the things went back to normal after governments around the globe removed their respective lockdown phases.
