Oil And Gas Automation Global Market Report 2026

Oil and gas automation refers to the implementation of digital technologies throughout the oil and gas industry to enhance competitiveness, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. It improves operational efficiency by streamlining processes, reducing manual interventions, and optimizing resource utilization

The main components of oil and gas automation are hardware, software, and service. Hardware is the physical and electronic components of a computer, as opposed to the instructions it follows. The technologies include are distributed control system (DCS), enterprise resource planning (ERP), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), machine execution system (MES), product lifecycle management (PLM), and programmable logic controller (PLC), and includes the processes such as midstream, upstream, and downstream. These are used in chemical and petrochemical, paper and pulp, water and wastewater treatment, energy, and utilities, oil and gas pharmaceutical, and others.

Tariffs have impacted the oil and gas automation market by increasing costs of imported control hardware, sensors, and automation software platforms. These effects have been significant for upstream and midstream projects in regions dependent on foreign technology suppliers. Higher tariffs have increased automation deployment costs and influenced vendor selection strategies. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged local system integration, domestic software development, and regional automation partnerships, strengthening technological self reliance.

This oil and gas automation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The oil and gas automation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $23.75 billion in 2025 to $25.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to need for operational efficiency, historical safety incidents, rising labor costs, early digital control system adoption, growth of large scale oil and gas facilities.

The oil and gas automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to demand for cost optimization, integration of ai and analytics, expansion of unmanned operations, cybersecurity investments, digital transformation of legacy assets. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of scada and dcs systems, growing use of predictive maintenance technologies, rising deployment of digital oilfield solutions, expansion of automation across midstream operations, increasing integration of ai based process optimization.

The growth of oil and gas exploration activities is expected to drive the expansion of the oil and gas automation market in the coming years. Oil and gas exploration involves the systematic search for underground deposits of oil and natural gas. Automation in this industry offers efficient, cost-effective, and safe solutions. By leveraging advanced analytics, automation aligns with industry objectives for optimized and sustainable exploration practices. For example, in March 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. crude oil production rose by 9% in 2023 compared to 2022, reaching a record 12.9 million barrels per day. This increase has led to higher crude oil exports, despite U.S. refineries still being optimized for processing heavier crude oils. As a result, the rising oil and gas exploration activities are fueling the growth of the oil and gas automation market.

Major oil and gas automation companies are developing technological solutions, such as actuator solutions, to eliminate the carbon footprint and serve customers better with advanced features. Actuator solutions are used to eliminate the carbon footprint by implementing advanced technologies that reduce or eliminate the emissions of greenhouse gases associated with industrial processes, transportation, and energy production. For instance, in August 2023, Automation Technology Inc., a US-based valve automation manufacturer, launched a zero-emission actuator solution. The zero emission electro-hydraulic package provides a comprehensive method to reduce emissions without requiring a pipeline. Pipeline actuators employ pipeline gas to generate electricity, which is then released into the atmosphere. ATI's self-contained zero-emission electro-hydric system connects the power supply and actuator in a small package. The solution includes the actuator, pump, motor, manifold, reservoir, and all controls, which eliminate the need for gas as a power source.

In July 2024, Honeywell, a U.S.-based multinational conglomerate, acquired Air Products' liquefied natural gas (LNG) process technology and equipment business for $1.81 billion. This acquisition strengthens Honeywell's energy transition portfolio by providing an end-to-end solution for managing natural gas assets, using advanced technologies to optimize energy transformation. Air Products, a U.S.-based industrial gases company, specializes in sustainability and clean energy solutions, with deep expertise in LNG technology and related equipment.
