Research Review Scope
The manufacturing sector is the backbone of global GDP growth. According to the World Bank Group, the value of manufacturing value added was nearly $14.07 trillion in 2019, and it declined by 2.8% in 2020, primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on worldwide manufacturing sectors. In 2023, the value of manufacturing value added has reached around $16.2 trillion. The manufacturing value added is a macroeconomic factor for the manufacturing sector and represents the manufacturing industry's value from the global GDP. The manufacturing-as-a-service trend is gaining new heights as companies can sign contracts without intensive capital investment in a particular market with product manufacturing companies. Contract manufacturing is an example of manufacturing-as-a-service.
The manufacturing sector is rapidly shifting towards eco-friendly technology. For instance, companies in the Non-destructive testing (NDT) market are engaged in R&D for environmentally friendly chemicals and materials, including water-based solvents and biodegradable polymers, to reduce harmful gas emissions from their plants and factories. Furthermore, the manufacturing sector is also experiencing an increase in clean fuel sources such as green hydrogen to decrease dependency on fossil fuels coupled with reducing emissions of CO2 from the environment. Hydrogen boilers are a leading example of green hydrogen-driven machines. On the other hand, the increasing adoption of advanced manufacturing technology such as robotics, AI, ML, 3D printing, 5G, and others is creating new growth dimensions for the manufacturing sector.
