There has been a rapid growth in the aging population worldwide. Almost every country across the globe is witnessing an increase in the number of older people in their community. Population aging is set to become one of the considerable social transformations of the 21st century, with a connection to almost all sectors of society, which includes labor and financial markets.
However, certain countries such as Japan and Italy are the top two countries in the list of the aging population proportion, as a considerable percentage of their population is over 65 years. As per WHO, approximately 2 Million people globally are anticipated to be more than 60 years old by 2050, which is over triple of what it was in 2000. Diminishing fertility rates and longer lifespans are the significant factors contributing to this growth.
Japan’s population comprises of the most significant number old citizens worldwide, in 2019, around 26.3% of the country’s population was aged 65 years or older, which was up from 25.8% in the year 2014. Also, it is anticipated that by 2030, the country’s population will comprise nearly one-third of senior citizens. Japan is followed by Italy, which has around 22.4% of its population aged 65 or older. Further, as per “An Aging World: 2015” by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), America’s population is projected to rise from 48 Million to 88 Million by 2025, which will almost double in the next three decades. Furthermore, the total dependency ratio is also anticipated to rise in all regions worldwide except Africa. The rise in the aging population has created a labor shortage problem globally; thus, demanding an increase in the penetration of industrial automation and robotics.
APAC is the leading region in the vision guided robotics market. The manufacturing industry in the developing countries of Asia Pacific has experienced a significant shift over the years, as these countries have established themselves as recognized players, which has subsequently created a threat for the established manufacturers with their firm foothold in the developed countries. The Asian manufacturing sector is known to rapidly adopt the innovation accelerators that includes robotics along with the emerging vision guidance technology. Over the years, the manufacturing spending of the region has grown significantly. It is further anticipated to grow at the highest estimated growth rate. This dramatic growth in the manufacturing spends and adoption of novel technologies are the key factors fueling the demand for vision guided robots. Furthermore, demand for consumer electronic products in this region, which is majorly driven by the price deflation, rising disposable incomes, and innovation, particularly in the emerging Asian markets, is anticipated to encourage the manufacturing industries in Asia Pacific. Moreover, constantly aging population of countries in APAC region, especially Japan and China, is another key factor driving the industrial robotics market growth.
The COVID-19 outbreak, which began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has spread at a fast pace worldwide. The global factory shutdowns, travel bans, and border lockdowns, to combat and contain the outbreak, have impacted every industry and economy worldwide. The majority of the manufacturing plants are either temporarily shut or operating with minimum staff. Due to this, the market for Vision Guided Robotics and related components are disrupted.

The global manufacturing industry is rapidly expanding as more and newer regions are investing in adopting manufacturing plants in their localities. As per the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP), the global manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) accounted 55.1 in October 2017, which was down from 55.9 in September 2017 however, still at a comparatively high level. The PMI index remained above 53.5 since the beginning of 2017, signifying a substantial recovery of the manufacturing sector in developed countries, increasing industrial advancement in emerging market economies and intensifying commodities prices on the global market. This expansion in the manufacturing industry is expected to embrace technological advancements to enhance the plant productivity, maintain an edge with the customers, and gain competitive advantage.
