According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the region’s dominant role in global automation. In 2024, Asia accounted for 74% of new industrial robot deployments globally, underscoring its central position in manufacturing automation. The total number of industrial robots installed globally in 2024 exceeded 500,000 units for the fourth consecutive year, with Asia leading installations. China alone installed around 295,000 industrial robots, representing more than half of global deployments in 2024, while Japan and South Korea continued to contribute significantly to the regional automation base. These figures reflect a sustained commitment to robotics integration as a cornerstone of smart manufacturing growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

Partnerships and Investments Driving Smart Manufacturing Expansion Across Asia

• In July 2025, A*STAR and Siemens signed a memorandum of understanding to support innovation and digital transformation in smart and sustainable manufacturing across Singapore and ASEAN. The collaboration prioritizes faster access to industrial AI and automation capabilities, development of sustainability-focused manufacturing practices aligned with global standards, and improved agility and competitiveness for regional manufacturers.

• In September 2025, Athena and Tech Mahindra entered a partnership to support global adoption of Industry 4.0. The alliance centers on delivering AI-enabled, scalable Manufacturing Execution System solutions designed to modernize shopfloor operations and support data-driven manufacturing. 

• In July 2025, Schneider Electric completed the acquisition of Temasek’s 35% stake in its Indian joint venture for $6.4 billion, securing full ownership of Schneider Electric India. This follows the company’s earlier acquisition of a 65% stake from L&T in 2020. With 31 factories and distribution centers, India has become Schneider Electric’s third-largest market and a central pillar in its multi-hub manufacturing strategy. The full acquisition is intended to simplify governance and enable faster strategic execution. 

• Also in July 2025, Schneider Electric announced the development of a 500,000 square foot manufacturing facility near Shoolagiri in Tamil Nadu, highlighting India’s growing importance as a global center for automation and industrial manufacturing.
