The objective of this research study is to identify key growth areas for cobot suppliers to expand their business in the Asia Pacific (APAC) market. To this end, this study discusses the size of the APAC cobot market in 2018 and makes forecast for the period covering 2019 to 2023 based on explanations of drivers and restraints that are expected to impact the industry. Historical data from 2015 to 2017 are also examined and included. A distribution channel analysis is provided for the APAC level for audiences to gain a general understanding of the business models of cobot suppliers. Further, this study analyses the market size and growth rate for all countries—China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Rest of APAC—included under its scope from 2015 to 2023. It also discusses the revenue breakdown for key end-user industries, applications, and payload of cobots during the same period. It lists market shares of key competitors based on their 2018 revenue and their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for audiences to understand the competitive landscape in APAC. Opportunities and actions to be taken by cobot suppliers are also presented for interested parties to have clear insights on how to expand their business in the region.
