The Manufacturing Execution Systems Market is projected to reach $ 17.83 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2024 to 2030. The growth of this market is attributed to the growing complexity of manufacturing operations, the rising adoption of industrial automation in process and discrete industries and the increasing significance of regulatory compliances. Furthermore, the integration of MES with solutions such as ERP and PLM and increasing applications of MES in the pharmaceutical industry are expected to create significant opportunities for the players operating in this market.

However, the complexities in deploying MES in various industries pose challenges to the growth of this market. Additionally, the requirement of significant capital investments and upgradation & maintenance costs are restraining market growth.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Manufacturing Execution Systems Market

The pandemic severely impacted several sectors, with major manufacturers shutting down their operations completely or operating at reduced capacities following the directives issued by their respective governments. Uncertainty regarding the duration of the lockdown and supply-chain disruptions made it more difficult for players to anticipate the recovery. This crisis caused structural shifts that had significant implications for the market.

The COVID-19 outbreak had a negative impact on the growth of the manufacturing execution systems market. Major halts in many industrial operations, such as manufacturing plants not operating and low productivity in manufacturing units, impacted several important players operating in this market. The pandemic also caused several manufacturing facilities to close. Several end industry operations, including those in the power generation, oil and gas, and automotive sectors, saw significant transformation during the post-pandemic phase. The manufacturing execution systems market is expected to expand in the coming years owing to the various operations & guidelines that have been established for COVID-19 for smoother operations.

The global manufacturing execution systems market is segmented by offering, deployment mode, end-use industry, and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the regional and country-level markets.

Increasing Applications of MES in the Pharmaceuticals Industry

With the continuously evolving trends in the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturers are experiencing increased pressure to keep pace and modify their operations to meet changing needs. Manufacturing execution systems (MES) enable the pharmaceutical industry to reduce production costs and improve compliance with regulatory requirements significantly.

The growing concern about counterfeit drugs entering the supply chain has resulted in the adoption of global track and trace regulations to protect patient safety and ensure product integrity, which is significantly contributing to the MES market growth. Furthermore, the regulations such as the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) by the European Union Parliament, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA, U.S.) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and other similar global regulations are pushing manufacturers to ensure compliance, innovate technologies, and increase the resources to manage the additional administrative burden.

Moreover, by leveraging MES, the pharmaceutical industry efficiently manages the quality of traceability and tracking through barcodes and serialization numbers, as well as by incorporating RFID tags inside the packaging equipment while ensuring the safety of manufacturing processes.
