For a long time, managers of many companies have claimed to realize operational automation,
but they have not achieved much substantive results. But now, the COVID-19 epidemic has changed
everything, prompting them to accelerate their investment in this field. A huge wave of automation is coming.
Research firm Robo Global predicts that by the end of 2021, the global installed base of industrial robots will
exceed 3.2 million units, double the number in 2015. The global industrial robot market is expected to rise
from US$45 billion in 2020 to US$73 billion in 2025.
Nigel Wass, CEO of Publicis Sabent, said that companies are not just trying to return to the pre-epidemic
operating model, but are completely restructuring the way they operate.
A new survey from think tank McKinsey Global Research found that about two-thirds of businesses around
the world are doubling down on automation.
“We had a head start during the pandemic,” said Michael Schick, head of U.S. operations at Japanese
robot maker Fanuc. As supply chains have been hit, manufacturers have been forced to find ways to be more
flexible. Today”s most dexterous robots can pick very delicate things, such as strawberries, he said. Market demand for
robots developed by Fanuc has surged, especially in industries such as e-commerce that have been greatly boosted by the epidemic.
