Strategic Intelligence: Industrial Automation Sector Scorecard Q1 2025 Update
Summary
Recent US tariffs have significant implications for industrial automation companies, ushering in a new era of supply chain volatility. As tariffs increase the cost of imported goods and components, many companies are reevaluating their supply chains and considering expanding manufacturing operations into the US. Leaders in automation, such as ABB and Siemens, have committed to major expansions in US manufacturing to safeguard their overseas revenue. Many European companies, such as Schneider Electric, are generally shielded from the tariffs due to the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), allowing them to source a significant portion of their components from North America, including Mexico.
Companies leading the industrial automation sector consistently excel in artificial intelligence (AI), underscoring its critical importance in driving innovation and competitiveness. As more companies recognize the transformative potential of AI, they are increasingly embracing its adoption to drive innovation, improve operational efficiency, and create smarter, more connected environments. This shift highlights a broader trend where AI is becoming a foundational element for success in industrial automation. Companies that have previously been slow to adopt AI are finding themselves forming strategic partnerships to embrace AI integration.
