Top trends to watch in 2025
- AI and machine learning integration: transforming processes like predictive maintenance, automated quality control, and production optimisation, AI is enhancing efficiency and reducing downtime across the industry
- Advanced automation and robotics: collaborative robots (cobots) and lights-out manufacturing are revolutionising production by enabling autonomous, high-throughput operations with minimal human intervention
- Reshoring and regionalisation: companies are prioritising local manufacturing to mitigate global uncertainties and build resilient supply chains with faster lead times
- Sustainability and circular economy: greener practices, energy efficiency, and resource recycling are driving the shift toward a circular economy, ensuring environmental and economic benefits
- Smart manufacturing and IoT: real-time data from interconnected devices in smart factories is powering predictive analytics and better decision-making, elevating productivity and quality
- Additive manufacturing (3D printing): moving beyond prototyping, 3D printing is enabling the production of complex components with reduced waste, particularly in high-value sectors like aerospace and medical devices
- High-mix, low-volume production: flexible production systems are meeting the growing demand for customised solutions without compromising efficiency or quality
- Enhanced cybersecurity measures: with connected systems comes the need for robust cybersecurity to protect sensitive data and ensure operational integrity
- Workforce transformation: upskilling employees to work alongside advanced technologies and addressing labour shortages through automation are reshaping the manufacturing workforce
