Mumbai, India — July 2026: Coherent Market Insights (CMI), a globally recognized market intelligence and consulting firm, today announced its participation as the Official Knowledge Partner for Automation Expo 2026 — Asia's leading showcase for industrial automation, robotics, and smart manufacturing technologies. The event will be held from 22–25 July 2026 at Hall 2, 3 & 6, Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Goregaon, Mumbai.
Now in its 19th edition, Automation Expo is organized by IED Communications Ltd. and stands as India's largest and most influential automation event. This year's edition is expected to draw over 65,000 visitors and more than 2,000 exhibitors, showcasing more than 40,000 products spanning factory automation, process automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, IIoT, machine vision, cybersecurity, and related fields. Held under the theme "The Shape of Things to Come," the expo will center its conversations on digital and AI-led transformation, sustainability in automation, cybersecurity in smart factories, and scalable solutions for global competitiveness — themes that align closely with the scope of the report CMI is contributing to the event.
A Market at an Inflection Point
The timing of this partnership reflects a period of active structural change in Indian manufacturing. Government-led programs such as Make in India, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, and the India Semiconductor Mission are reshaping investment patterns across the country, while rising adoption of AI, robotics, PLCs, SCADA, DCS, and MES platforms is accelerating the shift toward smart, connected factories. Parallel investment in digital manufacturing infrastructure and industrial decarbonisation is expected to further influence how process and factory automation demand evolves over the coming years. In this environment, structured, data-backed intelligence is fast becoming essential for manufacturers, system integrators, and technology providers looking to make confident, forward-looking decisions.
It is against this backdrop that Coherent Market Insights steps into its role as Knowledge Partner at Automation Expo 2026. The expo's scale spanning multiple exhibition halls and thousands of exhibitors makes it one of the few platforms in the region where policymakers, plant-level engineers, system integrators, and global technology providers converge in one place, creating a natural venue for CMI to share research that speaks directly to where the market is heading.
