Automation involves using various machines and systems to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. It provides controlled and precise movement to different components in automated systems. These are employed in robotic systems, conveyor belts, and other machinery to facilitate smooth and accurate motion, contributing to overall automation efficiency. Additionally, Solar tracking systems utilize linear actuators to modify the placement of solar panels in order to achieve an optimal daily orientation toward the sun. By using linear actuators, solar tracking systems can follow the sun's path, maximizing the exposure of solar panels to sunlight and improving energy efficiency. In the field of wind energy, linear actuators are utilized in the control systems of wind turbines. These actuators are responsible for adjusting the pitch angle of wind turbine blades. By precisely controlling the pitch angle, wind turbines can optimize their performance in varying wind conditions, improving energy capture and overall efficiency. Moreover, linear actuators designed for renewable energy applications are often built to withstand challenging environmental conditions, including exposure to sunlight, wind, and temperature variations. Therefore, these factors will lead to increased demand in the market.

However, the initial investment required for acquiring high-precision or advanced linear actuator systems can represent a substantial portion of a company's capital expenditure. This can deter businesses, especially smaller enterprises with limited financial resources. Smaller businesses often operate on tighter budgets compared to larger corporations. The relatively high upfront costs of advanced linear actuators may limit the accessibility of such technology for smaller enterprises, impacting their ability to invest in automation or improved machinery. This choice might be driven by the desire to keep initial costs down, even sacrificing some advanced features. Hence, these factors can restrain the demand for linear actuators in the upcoming years.
