ASEAN AI Industrial Robotics Market Size and Forecast by Robot Type, Software & System Architecture, Enabling Technologies, Payload, and Application: 2019-2033

Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: ASEAN’s rapid FDI surge—driven by semiconductor packaging, automotive components, and consumer electronics—has put automation capability at the center of investment decisions. Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia have each announced large new manufacturing parks since 2022, and incoming firms expect pre-built, automation-ready infrastructure. This pressure forces local integrators to standardize robot cells and strengthen service capacity, shifting the marketplace from hardware-led sales to reliability-driven procurement.

Industry Progression: ASEAN is transitioning from pilot projects to mass automation as new manufacturing parks attract export FDI, exemplified by 2024–25 announcements for large electronics and ATP (assembly, test, packaging) facilities in Vietnam and Malaysia that require automation-ready infrastructure; that shift compels vendors and integrators to standardize robot cells, pre-integrate WMS/MES interfaces, and expand local service footprints to win large pre-built park contracts.

Industry Player Insights: ASEAN’s Regional momentum is led by ABB Robotics, Yaskawa, FANUC Corporation, Techman Robot, Sepro Group, Juki Automation, and local integrators such as Dynapack (regional). Factory park development and FDI into Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand are converting pilots into fleet deployments; for example, new ATP (assembly, test, packaging) park announcements in 2024 accelerated demand for pre-integrated robot cells and AMRs. That reality forces suppliers to standardize deployment templates, localize training, and offer scalable service contracts so integrators can deliver repeatable automation across multiple ASEAN sites.
