Asia-Pacific Smart Manufacturing Market to Reach $221.1 Billion by 2035

Published: Jan 2026

The Asia-Pacific smart manufacturing market was valued at $53.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $221.1 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 15.3% during the forecast period from 2026 to 2035, according to a new report by OMR Global. Manufacturers across the Asia-Pacific region are driving smart manufacturing adoption through a strong focus on robotics and automation technologies. Industrial robots, PLCs, SCADA systems, and integrated digital automation platforms are becoming central to production modernization strategies. This shift is most visible in key economies such as China, Japan, South Korea, India, and ASEAN countries, where automation supports higher throughput, improved quality, and enhanced supply chain resilience. In addition to boosting operational efficiency, the widespread deployment of automation technologies is helping manufacturers respond to workforce challenges, rising labor costs, and the need for resilient production across automotive, electronics, machinery, and other core sectors.

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.
