In recent times, IDC, a renowned research firm, has published its latest report titled "IDC Future Perspective: Global Robots 2018 Forecast - Asia Pacific (excluding Japan)." This comprehensive study outlines key trends and forecasts for robot development across the region. The report emphasizes that the Asia-Pacific market is set to become the world’s largest in terms of robot expenditure in the coming years.
According to Jing Bing Zhang, Director of Global Robotics Research at IDC, the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan, is witnessing remarkable growth in automation and robotics adoption across various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, consumer goods, and more. He stated, “With the integration of artificial intelligence, we are entering a new era of robotics—Robot 3.0. These intelligent systems are designed with features like ubiquitous perception, network convergence, autonomous management, and more human-like interactions.â€
The report predicts that global robot spending will reach $218.4 billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of around 25.4%. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to outpace this growth, with robot spending reaching $133 billion by 2021, a CAGR of 31.4%. This means that the region will account for over 60% of the global robotics market by then. China alone is projected to be the largest market, representing more than 34% of the total.
As part of its strategic predictions, IDC highlighted three major trends that will shape the future of robotics in the region. These insights are crucial for IT leaders and businesses aiming to stay ahead in an evolving technological landscape.
Prediction 1: By 2020, at least 40% of newly installed industrial robots in the APEJ market will feature capabilities such as predictive analytics, health awareness, self-diagnosis, peer learning, or self-awareness.
Prediction 2: By 2021, 25% of A2000 manufacturers will implement cyber-physical robot systems, which could boost productivity by 10–20%.
Prediction 3: By 2020, 35% of the top 100 APEJ retailers will utilize robots in store distribution, potentially reducing order fulfillment costs by up to 20%.
These developments signal a shift toward smarter, more connected robotic systems that will transform both industrial and service sectors. As AI becomes more integrated into robotics, companies must adapt quickly to remain competitive in this fast-evolving field.
