India Industry 4.0 Adoption: A Case to Mature Manufacturing Digitalization by 2025

Industry 4.0 is at an inflection point in Indian manufacturing, with more than two-thirds of Indian manufacturers embracing the digital transformation by 2025, thereby contributing to the goal of raising India’s manufacturing GDP to 25%. This research study aims to assess the adoption of Industry 4.0 across India’s manufacturing sector. In-depth inputs from 55 large and mid-sized discrete and process manufacturers and 25 technology providers reveal actionable insights.

Key Findings

Global Industry 4.0 Adoption Positively Disrupted by COVID-19 With Emerging Economies Picking Up Pace More Rapidly

  • Industry 4.0 investments by manufacturing companies, at $102 Bn in 2021, comprise 20% of manufacturing tech spend 
  • CapEx infusion of nearly $100 Bn by USA, UK, China, Japan, and India will pave the way for accelerated adoption by 2025 
  • By 2025, digital technologies are estimated to comprise 40% of all manufacturing tech spend 
Industry 4.0 has Evolved as a Set of Interconnected Technologies Spanning Entire Value Chains to Build for Smart Solutions

  • Industry 4.0 is the “connectedness” of technologies from embedded to integrated to seamlessly coupled from shop floor to smart products 
  • Industry 4.0 has led to seamless integration of data and insights leading to new-age technology-led business metrics 
  • Successful Industry 4.0 deployments focus on top-down initiatives broken into smaller projects, rather than aggregating PoCs 
Indian Manufacturing has Started Pivoting to Digitalization, with $5.5 - $6.5 Bn Spent on Industry 4.0 in FY21

  • 50% of the Industry 4.0 spend is on foundational tech – Cloud and IoT.  
  • 35 – 40% of the companies are at PoC stage and will need rapid PoC-to-production transition 
  • In the next 18-24 months, companies plan to ramp up investments in emerging network tech, big data analytics, central and remote-controlled monitoring, and automation 
Measurable RoI, Consistent Data Policy, Ecosystem Support, and Investments by GoI are Key to Accelerated Adoption

  • India’s manufacturing clusters or industrial corridor policy will be critical in creating smaller hubs for focused investment and innovation 
  • MSME incentives through dedicated GoI contracts or industry-led initiatives will transform the 90% base of Indian manufacturing 
  • Shifting focus from cost to incentives for quality and globally competitive solutions will boost adoption
