The annual robotics trade show, event, and conference cycle is off and running — Automate, IMTS, MODEX, Hannover Messe, CIIF, ICRA, RosCon, and a dozen more.
Over 1.5 million attendees are expected to fill conference halls and walk miles of exhibit floors worldwide.
Millions of others will closely follow those events online via trade show websites or through the tsunami of news reports flowing end to end throughout the entire seasonal cycle.
Are you as ready, informed, and aware of the essentials of those multi-million dollar rows of booths full of robotics tech as you’d like to be? Are you armed for insight and the success it offers?
Many buyers, executives, and engineers walk in without a real briefing on who these companies truly are, what their corporate boardrooms and governments are planning, where the technology is actually headed — and what the geopolitical backdrop means for the critical automation decisions they’ve made or are about to make.
One thing is for sure: over 75% of the robots in every one of those massive trade show floors come from three countries—China, Japan, and Korea. Every booth, every demo, and every vendor conversation is permeated by the makers of East Asian robotics and their product objectives and game plans. China, Japan, and Korea are everywhere in every industry trade show, and in many respects, they are the global robotics industry.
Welcome to Outlook 2026. East Asian Robotics 2026-2030: China, Korea & Japan.
124 pages. One essential read. Three nations: China, Korea, and Japan—the three countries reshaping the future of robotics, automation, and Physical AI — covered in a single authoritative report.
“AI robots are coming, and they’ll be made in Asia… tech companies are uniquely positioned to take the technology into the physical realm.”
— Catherine Thorbecke, Bloomberg
Outlook 2026. East Asian Robotics 2026-2030: China, Korea & Japan is the only comprehensive guide and reference tool of its kind to East Asian robotics for 2026.
The perfect companion and field guide to understanding the robotics industry in 2026 and beyond, to unraveling the miles of booths, product literature, sales pitches, and vendor meetings, for those who have spent thousands of dollars and traveled far to walk the floor and be close to the action.
“Specializing in Asia by Covering the Globe”
Asian Robotics Review (2016-2026) was founded as the only online media publication to exclusively cover Asian robotics and automation technology news and to distribute it worldwide.
Literally from Hokkaido to Chennai; and most prominently from the epicenter of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, East Asia (China, Korea & Japan).
Asian Robotics Review and its companion podcast This Is Robotics (2021) have evolved to become a robotics technology news bridge between East and West. As our tagline says: “Specializing in Asia by Covering the Globe”.
