Complexity

The Scale and Balance Manufacturing industry has a high level of process standardization, making it suitable for automation. However, moderate regulatory and compliance barriers, along with the need for specialized manufacturing skills, slightly reduce its susceptibility to complete AI displacement. The industry is adapting to technological changes but still requires significant capital investments.
