Schneider Electric has released new data indicating that U.S. consumer packaged goods (CPG) and life sciences manufacturers are at the forefront of industrial AI adoption worldwide. This announcement was made during PACK EXPO International 2026 in Chicago, where Schneider presented findings from a survey of 252 senior manufacturing decision-makers, highlighting the rapid pace of AI integration in U.S. operations.
The significance of these findings lies in the stark contrast between U.S. and global AI adoption rates. While only 13% of global CPG manufacturers report AI integration in core operations, this figure rises to 29% in the U.S. Furthermore, 52% of U.S. manufacturers have implemented AI across multiple sites, compared to 27% globally. By 2030, 67% of U.S. respondents anticipate AI will be central to their operations, indicating a strong commitment to technological advancement despite facing operational challenges.
Looking ahead, the report warns of increasing operational losses in the U.S., projected to reach 27% of potential manufacturing revenue by 2027. Schneider Electric emphasizes the need for manufacturers to combine AI adoption with investments in data connectivity and automation solutions to mitigate these losses and enhance operational efficiency. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
