Industrial Automation Market by Company
The companies automating factories, plants, and infrastructure: PLCs and robots on the discrete side, control systems and instrumentation on the process side, the industrial software layer above both, and the electrical equipment powering it all. Demand now runs on three structural bids at once: reshoring and megaproject capex, electrification, and a manufacturing labor shortage that makes automation the only way to staff the plants being built.
The Industrial Automation sector on Sterling tracks 41 companies, led by Siemens (18%), Schneider Electric (9.2%), Honeywell (7.6%) by share of FY2025 company-wide revenue across all 39 tracked companies.

Industrial Automation at a Glance
- •US manufacturing construction spending roughly tripled from 2020 to 2024 to an annual rate above 200 billion dollars per Census Bureau put-in-place data, the hard evidence behind the reshoring capex thesis.
- •Global industrial robot installations have exceeded 500,000 units every year since 2021 per the International Federation of Robotics, with China accounting for over half of new installations and the operational stock passing four million robots.
- •Robot density tells the adoption story: Korea runs over 1,000 robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers per IFR data, while the US sits near 300, a gap that frames the domestic automation opportunity.
- •The labor-scarcity bid is structural: Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute project roughly 1.9 million US manufacturing jobs could go unfilled by 2033 if current skills gaps persist.
- •The software convergence is consolidating fast: Schneider owns AVEVA, Emerson completed its buyout of AspenTech in 2025, and Siemens closed its roughly 10 billion dollar acquisition of Altair in 2025, leaving PTC, Hexagon, Bentley, and Roper among the few independent industrial software franchises.
- •This sector closes one of the largest S&P 500 coverage gaps in the app: 16 of 17 index constituents in factory and infrastructure automation were previously untracked, from Rockwell and Emerson to Eaton, Parker Hannifin, and PTC.
