Asia Pacific excluding Japan Robotics Spending to Triple Reaching $125.4 Billion in 2022
August 14, 2018 | IDCEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
According to the latest update of the IDC Worldwide Semiannual Robotics and Drones Spending Guide, Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ) spending on robotics (including drones) is forecast to reach $125.4 billion in 2022, tripling the total spending in 2017, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.7% from 2018 through 2022. APEJ is the largest market for robotics applications and is expected to account for more than 62% of world's total robotics market in 2022.
"Driven by customer demands for product quality, delivery, and mass customization collaborative robots (cobots) are taking off in industrial applications, especially for high mix, low volume, and short cycle time environment," said Dr. Jing Bing Zhang, research director for IDC Worldwide Robotics at IDC Manufacturing Insights. "While being safe is a paramount prerequisite for any cobot, the market is already shaping the development of cobots towards 5S: safety, security, smartness, simplicity, and standardization," added Zhang.
China takes a significant share of the Asia Pacific robotics (including drones) market. Its spending on robotics is expected to reach $77 billion, representing 61% of APEJ region's total spending in 2022.
From an industry sector perspective, the manufacturing and resources sector, which includes discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, resources and construction, remains the largest spender on robotics (including drones) throughout the forecast period, and is expected to account for over 67% of APEJ region's total spending in 2022. This is followed by the public sector, which will chalk up approximately 11% of the APEJ total spending in 2022.
From a technology perspective, APEJ spending on robotics systems (including drones), which includes industrial, service and consumer robots and after-market hardware, is forecast to grow to $80 billion in 2022.
The Worldwide Semiannual Robotics and Drones Spending Guide quantifies the robotics and drone opportunities from a region, industry, use case, and technology perspective. Spending data is available for more than 64 use cases across 20 industries in nine regions. Data is also available for 17 robotics system technologies and 16 drone systems technologies. Unlike any other research in the industry, the detailed segmentation and timely, global data is designed to help suppliers targeting the market to identify market opportunities and execute an effective strategy.
