What it means
に伴って expresses a change or event that occurs together with, or as a consequence of, another change or event. It can mean “as,” “along with,” or “in connection with,” and often describes developments that naturally accompany one another. It attaches directly to a noun and attaches to a verb clause through の.
Usage note
For a verb clause, use the form Vのに伴って rather than attaching に伴って directly to the dictionary-form verb. The expression indicates an accompanying or linked development, so it should not be used for every simple cause-and-effect relationship.
