The rising demand for automation in industries across the world would further spur growth of industrial robot sales. China is one of the fastest growing markets and is expected to become one of the largest market for industrial robots along with Japan and North America. Although potential for industrial robot installations in the non-automotive industries is expected to rise substantially, sales are expected to be higher in the automotive industry in many emerging markets primarily due to the necessary modernization required in these markets.
