Market Growth Factors
In Japan, the growth of the servo motors and drives market is driven by the adoption of automation in the manufacturing sector. There is an increased need for high-performance motion control technologies to improve performance, accuracy, and flexibility in manufacturing operations. Japan's dominance in the field of industrial robotics and smart factories as a part of the Industry 4.0 model of digital transformation of customary factories is generating the need for servo technology. Energy saving and high-speed supporting servo motors will drive the growth of Japan's Factory Automation and Industrial Controls market, valued at USD 15.1 billion.
Because of Japan's declining and aging population, the need for automation technology in industry and commerce is increasing, leading to increased production of servo motors and drives used in machines that perform tasks previously undertaken by humans or other machines. This is important in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environments because fewer workers can perform jobs. For example, Techman Robot collaborates with Panasonic Connect's Welding Systems Division to show how servo technologies increasingly solve workforce challenges and improve manufacturing processes.
Japanese manufacturers of industrial machinery, with a focus toward lean manufacturing and high quality, have begun using servo applications, as they can be more precise and repeatable in manufacturing, which is necessary to maintain high quality. The increase in popularity is seen in the use of servo for this application. Meanwhile, servo motors are used in various industries in Japan, improving energy efficiency, reducing production costs and achieving desired sustainability goals. This emphasis on both high quality and sustainable production is a primary target application for servo motors and drives in the Japan industries that demand high performance equipment.
