Industry Findings: Across BRICS economies, rising investment in large-scale public infrastructure, ports, and industrial zones is accelerating demand for robots that support inspection, maintenance, and unpredictable service workloads. Demonstration projects in hospitals, metros, and freight facilities highlight an appetite for rugged, AI-driven platforms that can operate with inconsistent network coverage and varying safety regimes. Vendors able to customise deployment for wide climatic and operational differences gain a clear advantage as BRICS members scale automation to reduce structural inefficiencies.
Industry Progression: Rising infrastructure investment across BRICS nations is shifting buyer preference to rugged, high-throughput service robots that tolerate variable networks and climates; the IFR and national deployment summaries (2023–2024) show strong service-robot sales growth in emerging markets, indicating that suppliers who can localise hardware and offer regional service networks will capture larger shares as BRICS members scale logistics, healthcare, and inspection automation.
Industry Players: The industry innovation pulse in BRICS is driven by Fanuc, ABB, GreyOrange, Embraer, Photoneo, Quicktron, and ADR Robotics etc. Regional capacity-building and heavy-infrastructure investments are tilting buyer preferences toward rugged, easily localised automation stacks that tolerate wide climatic and connectivity variance. In mid-2024 several BRICS-led port and logistics modernisation projects announced multi-vendor automation pilots, pushing governments and large integrators to favour suppliers who provide regional service hubs and localisation roadmaps; the result is faster scaling for vendors with adaptable platforms and regional partnerships, and tougher commercial terms for vendors lacking in-country support.
