Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: Across Asia Pacific, the sector is being reshaped by the region’s intensified manufacturing repositioning, especially as companies diversify supply chains away from single-country exposure. Major expansions in electronics and EV capacity across countries like Vietnam, India, and Malaysia have redirected capital toward flexible robot fleets that can scale production quickly. Vendors able to support multi-country commissioning and common software backbones are winning enterprise-wide deployment contracts across APAC.

Industry Progression: The region is crystallizing as a multi-pole production engine where capital rotation into manufacturing is driving platform-level automation adoption; for example, recent investor flows into Asia-Pacific tech and industrial projects (Oct 2025) are channeling more private capital into factory upgrades and semiconductor fabs, which forces suppliers to offer multi-country commissioning, common software stacks, and regional service footprints so deployments can scale across several APAC markets simultaneously.

Industry Player Insights: The region’s industry momentum is led by ABB Robotics, FANUC Corporation, Yaskawa, Hyundai Robotics, Techman Robot (TM Robotics), Seiko Epson, and Siasun (China). Asia-Pacific buyers now expect cross-border deployment options and localized software stacks as manufacturing capacity densifies; for example, IFR’s 2025 statistics showed Asia accounted for around 74% of new deployments in 2024, concentrating demand for scalable machine-tending and palletising fleets. This concentration benefits vendors with multi-country service footprints and localized control-stack adaptations that reduce regional commissioning friction.
