GMC based Motion Controller Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Type of Axis (Multi Axis, Single Axis), By Precision (Very High Precision,High Precision, Standard), By Product (PLC Based, Stand Alone, PC Based), By Application (Electronics and Assembly, Medical and Scientific, Packaging and Labelling, Machine Tools, Robotics), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

GMC systems function to provide the capability to control position, torque and velocity accurately, for a linear or rotational electro mechanical device. GMC equipment has a crucial role in achieving agility and flexibility in manufacturing operations at a relatively lower lifecycle cost of plant equipment. Manufacturing industries based on machinery and production are directly affected by changes in the global motion controller market. The ongoing digitalization trend is a key factor impacting motion control and motors market since it saves downtime and maintenance costs. This enables the identification of machine component failure in advance. Also, at present leading equipment manufacturers are adopting smart technologies to their machinery for improving process efficiency & quality while also reducing downtime. This has resulted in an incraese in overall demand for motion control equipment. According to the Motion Control & Motor Association,(MCMA), motion control shipments increased by approximately 5% in the last quarter of 2018.
