IDC Expects Asia/Pacific excluding Japan Spending on Robotics to Reach US$129.4B in 2022

　　The latest IDC Worldwide Semiannual Robotics and Drones Spending Guide forecasts Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) spending on robotics (including drones) and associated services to reach USD 129.4 billion by 2022, essentially three times the spending in 2018, with a five-year CAGR of 25.2% during 2017-2022. APEJ tops with the largest market share for robotics applications followed by the United States and Japan. Both are expected to record for more than 61.6% of the world’s entire robotics market in 2022.　　"To survive the escalating competition, APEJ manufacturing organizations surveyed by IDC in 2018 are putting robotics as their top priority for technology investment," said Dr. Jing Bing Zhang, Research Director for Worldwide Robotics at IDC. “While the uncertainty of the trade war between the United States and China is likely to dampen the market growth in the near term, we expect the growth trend to pick up from 2020 onward.”　　Discrete and process manufacturing are the dominant industries in robotics (including drones) spending, which turns over 58.1% of the overall spend in APEJ in 2019. Largely, welding and assembling use cases in discrete manufacturing, whilst pick and pack, and bottling use cases in process manufacturing are driving the robotics spend in 2019. However, customer deliveries, vegetable seeding and planting are the drone use cases which we expect to grow at fast pace with a five-year CAGR 126.4% and CAGR 112.1% respectively over the forecast period (2017-22).　　“There has been an intensive wave of industrial automation for which robotics and drones provide a major base; hence attracting investments with each passing year. Under Robotics, despite Manufacturing being a dominant industry in this area, investments will continue to increase in resource industry, retail, construction, among others,“ said Swati Chaturvedi, Senior Market Analyst at IDC.　　“On the other hand, drones, which are majorly a consumer-oriented technology, are gaining momentum in its industrial usage by enterprises and governments alike for tasks as mundane as filmmaking and inspection or as complex as agricultural uses, mining operations assistance, and insurance assessment.”　　From a technology perspective, hardware purchases related spending on robotics systems (including drones) in APEJ, which includes industrial, service and consumer robots and after-market hardware, is forecast to grow to $81.0 billion in 2022.　　China accounts largest market share in the Asia Pacific robotics (including drones) market. Its spending on robotics is expected to reach $80.5 billion, representing 62.2% of APEJ region's total spending in 2022.

US has a 'concerted strategy' to push allies to reject Huawei's 5G equipment: Eurasia Group

Miquel Benitez | Getty ImagesThe United States is pushing its allies to shut out Chinese tech giant Huawei's 5G networks due to national security concerns as the high-speed technology is set to play a critical role in the 21st century, a Eurasia Group expert said Tuesday.Japan, Washington's close ally, will reportedly stop buying Huawei and ZTE network equipment for government offices and its military forces. Huawei has also been excluded from providing technology for the core 5G network that's being developed by U.K. telecoms firm BT.Australia and New Zealand have also banned Huawei from participating in building their 5G networks — the next generation of mobile technology expected to revolutionize the interaction of internet-connected devices and appliances."This is part of a concerted strategy on the part of the United States to pressure allies, western countries and other like-minded allies not to include Chinese 5G equipment in their next generation networks," Kevin Allison, director of geo-technology at risk consultancy Eurasia Group, said Tuesday on CNBC's "Squawk Box."Allison said that 5G technology is a "geopolitically consequential network upgrade" that represents a new level of innovation with major implications for a number of sectors including driverless vehicles, smart cities, advanced factories and artificial intelligence.Such technologies "are really going to set the tone for the rest of the 21st century," he said, citing intense competition in areas such as the race for faster economic growth and stronger militaries.The U.S. approach to box in Huawei is also a factor in its broader conflict with China over trade, Allison said.Complicating the tariff conflict is Canada's arrest on Dec. 1 of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, for alleged violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran. The U.S. is seeking her extradition and hearings are ongoing in Vancouver.'Strictly complies'China has strongly criticized the treatment of Meng and summoned the ambassadors of both Canada and the U.S. to complain.Huawei, in a letter to its suppliers released late Thursday, said that it "strictly complies with all applicable laws and regulations in our global business operations" and added it "is not aware of any wrongdoing (by Meng)."Allison predicted that the U.S. effort will result in "a split between a 5G network that is built with Chinese technology in some countries, and networks that are built to be free of Chinese technology in other countries."That echoes the view of former Google top executive Eric Schmidt who said earlier this year that within the next decade there will be two separate internets: one led by the U.S. and the other by China.Key vendors in the 5G network business besides Huawei and fellow Chinese company ZTE include Sweden's Ericsson, Finland's Nokia, South Korea's Samsung, Japan's NEC and Fujitsu, as well as Intel, Qualcomm and Cisco of the United States, according to a Eurasia Group report in November.Josh Kallmer, executive vice president for policy at the Information Technology Industry Council, expressed hope for a system of rules whereby questions of security and competition can be balanced."Certainly there's no more important role for a government than to look after national security but it's also important to pursue these commercial issues in the context of a rules based environment," Kallmer told CNBC."We're confident that if both China and the United States and other markets commit to that, then companies will be able to compete on the merits that everybody will have a fair shake at succeeding — and that's the outcome we should all prefer," he said.

Semiconductor sector stocks in Asia take a hit after Morgan Stanley downgrade

SeongJoon Cho | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesMemory chips are seen on a Samsung Electronics memory module in this arranged photograph in Seoul, South Korea, on Thursday, July 26, 2018. Major semiconductor sector stocks in Asia took a tumble on Friday after the industry was downgraded by Morgan Stanley.Shares of South Korea's Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix — the country's top two chipmakers — fell 3.2 percent and 3.72 percent, respectively, during Asia afternoon trade. Samsung SDI, a battery manufacturing affiliate that is a Samsung Electronics supplier, dropped 6.56 percent.Those losses weighed on the broader Kospi, which closed lower by 0.91 percent.In Japan, semiconductor-linked stocks also took a beating. Shares of Tokyo Electron, which manufactures semiconductor equipment, was down 3.55 percent while manufacturer Advantest lost 4.89 percent for the day.The declines came after Morgan Stanley lowered its rating to "cautious" from "in-line" for the semiconductor industry, highlighting rising inventory levels. The "cautious" label is Morgan Stanley's lowest rating and means its analysts believe the sector will underperform the market over the next 12 to 18 months.Moves in the semiconductor space in Taiwan, however, were more tempered, with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. edging lower by 0.81 percent and United Microelectronics Corporation tacking on 0.56 percent by the end of the session.
