Industrial Robotics Procurement Intelligence: Key Concepts

The global industrial robotics category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2023 to 2030. Growth of the category can be attributed to increased focus on ensuring workplace safety, rising attention for increasing the productivity of assembly lines supporting high volumes, increasing need for collaborative robots across multiple industries, higher adoption of Industry 4.0, and stringent federal guidelines for handling dangerous goods and materials. However, challenges pertaining to integration and complexities associated with the product offered in the category may hinder the global demand. Interoperability is essential in any manufacturing facility and small & medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly challenged by interoperability concernsbecause of their exceptional needs and staffing shortages when it comes to setting up sophisticated automation systems. Technologies that drive the global category include collaborative robots, IIoT (industrial internet of things), in...

Fleet Management Procurement Intelligence: A Roadmap to Success

The fleet management category is anticipated to witness growth at a CAGR of 16.4% from 2023 to 2030. In 2022, North America accounted for 39% of the market share followed by Asia-Pacific and Europe.

Crude Oil Procurement Intelligence: Staying Ahead of the Curve

The crude oil category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.42% from 2023 to 2030. APAC accounts for the largest share of the category. The rising energy demand across the world, as well as the adoption of unconventional exploration and production technology, are driving category growth. Major corporations are employing a variety of strategies, such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships and contracts, and the development, testing, and release of new products. For instance, In July 2023, Aramco completed a USD 3.4 billion transaction to purchase a 10% stake in Rongsheng Petrochemical Co. Ltd. through its Dutch subsidiary Aramco Overseas Company BV. Under this deal, the company will be able to deliver 480,000 barrels per day of crude oil to Zhejiang Petroleum and Chemical Co. Ltd (ZPC) in a long-term sale agreement. To communicate between various machinery & equipment engaged during crude oil production, artificial intelligence (Al) is applied. It is also used to power t...
