The latest comprehensive market analysis from ARC Advisory Group positions OpenTAS as a major force in the global Terminal Automation Systems (TAS) market, ranking third among worldwide suppliers with a 10.0% market share in 2024.
Following its recognition as one of the top three suppliers worldwide, the ARC study also confirms OpenTAS’s market leadership in the EMEA region. This strong regional performance underscores the company’s deep understanding of terminal automation requirements across Western Europe, Eastern Europe, CIS, Africa, and the Middle East.
“This recognition from ARC Advisory Group validates our strategic commitment to the EMEA region, where we see tremendous opportunities for growth and innovation,” said Harald Wentsch, CEO at OpenTAS. “Our market-leading position in EMEA reflects our deep understanding of regional requirements and our ability to deliver tailored solutions that address the specific challenges operators face across this diverse market landscape.”
OpenTAS solutions are built to meet the needs of all terminals – starting from small single-site facilities up to the scale and complexity of major terminal operators. Whether managing multi-product portfolios, global supply chains, or strict regulations, incremental improvements are not enough. With an open, standards-based Terminal Management Solution that integrates seamlessly with corporate systems, OpenTAS provides the robustness and flexibility required to run every terminal with confidence – from smaller operations to high-volume, multi-site networks.
The global Terminal Automation Systems market, valued at $376.9 million in 2024, is projected to reach $462.2 million by 2029, representing a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. OpenTAS is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth, particularly in the EMEA region where the company has established market leadership.
Notably, OpenTAS has achieved substantial market penetration in Latin America with a 12.0% market share, demonstrating the company’s ability to adapt its Terminal Management Solution (TMS) to diverse regional requirements. The company also maintains a growing presence in North America, showcasing its global capabilities while maintaining its strategic focus on EMEA.
The ARC research highlights key trends that align perfectly with OpenTAS’s strategic direction, including the evolution from closed, proprietary systems to more open and flexible platforms. The study notes that “the typically closed, proprietary, and relatively inflexible TAS of the past have evolved into much more open and flexible systems that can be configured with relative ease to match specific terminal requirements.”
This technological shift plays directly to OpenTAS’s strengths in developing adaptable, standards-based solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure while providing the flexibility operators need to respond to changing market conditions.
The market research emphasizes growing demand for advanced technologies including Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) integration, cloud-based solutions, and enhanced cybersecurity capabilities – all areas where OpenTAS continues to invest, innovate and lead. Additionally, the expanding focus on renewable energy terminals, including LNG, hydrogen, and biofuel storage facilities, represents significant growth opportunities for OpenTAS’s comprehensive automation solutions.
With the global terminal automation market showing robust growth prospects and increasing emphasis on operational efficiency, sustainability, and regulatory compliance, OpenTAS is well-positioned to strengthen its market leadership in the EMEA region. The company’s proven ability to deliver flexible, reliable automation solutions across diverse applications provides a solid foundation for continued growth and innovation in its core market.
The ARC Advisory Group study reinforces OpenTAS’s position as a key player in the terminal automation industry, with the expertise and market presence to help operators navigate the increasingly complex demands of modern terminal operations while capitalizing on emerging opportunities in the evolving energy landscape.
