2025-2033 年日本機器人市場規模、佔有率、趨勢和預測（按產品類型和地區）

2024 年日本機器人市場IMARC Group為 28 億美元。該市場正在快速成長，主要得益於工業自動化的進步和對服務機器人的需求不斷成長。此外，人工智慧（AI）和機器學習（ML）的快速融合、協作機器人的出現以及醫療保健和老年護理機器人技術的成長進一步促進了市場的擴張。

工業自動化的進步極大地推動了日本機器人市場的發展。該國的製造業，特別是汽車、電子和機械行業，繼續採用機器人系統來提高效率和精度，並降低生產過程中的營運成本。這一轉變符合日本努力維持其在全球高科技製造業領先地位的努力。例如，2024年，豐田宣佈在東京台場1.5平方公里的區域推出免費的4級自動駕駛服務，並於2025年過渡到付費機器人計程車服務。和機器學習，增強了機器人的功能和適應性。對能夠處理多樣化和複雜任務的靈活自動化解決方案的需求不斷成長，進一步擴大了機器人應用的範圍，並引起了市場的投資和成長。

推動日本機器人市場成長的另一個主要因素是對服務機器人的需求不斷增加。隨著人口老化，醫療保健部門和老年人護理部門正在逐步整合機器人技術來幫助完成家務勞動。這些機器人正在迅速與先進的感測器和人工智慧驅動的通訊相結合，以提高安全性和便利性。與此相呼應的是，最近物流、零售和酒店等其他行業也迅速採用服務機器人來改善客戶體驗和營運效率，這反過來又有利於全國市場的成長。例如，2024年7月，日本最大的鐵路營運商西日本旅客鐵道公司（JR West）推出了用於維護任務的多功能鐵路重型設備機器人。該機器人是與 Nippon Signal 和 Jinki Ittai 合作開發的，可在高達 12 公尺（39 英尺）的高度運行，並可處理高達 40 公斤（88 磅）的重量。該機器人透過 VR 護目鏡和專門的手動控制器進行控制，可提高生產力、降低工人風險並減少體力需求。這突顯了日本對服務機器人的需求不斷成長，以解決勞動力挑戰和提高鐵路維護等關鍵產業的效率。

日本機器人市場趨勢：

人工智慧與機器學習的融合

人工智慧和機器學習在機器人市場的融合是日本機器人市場的主導趨勢之一。高度先進的機器人系統已經開始獲得更先進的人工智慧驅動功能，使它們能夠執行複雜的任務，適應動態環境，並與人類毫無摩擦地互動。人工智慧和機器學習功能使機器人能夠從資料中學習、提高營運效率並做出即時決策。尤其是工業和服務機器人，靈活性和高精度是最迫切的需求。該國的目標是保持其在技術領域的領先地位。對人工智慧驅動的機器人技術的投資將迅速增加。例如，2024年，微軟宣布未來兩年在日本投資29億美元，以增強其雲端運算和人工智慧基礎設施，這是其在日本的最大承諾。該計劃包括擴大數位培訓計劃，在三年內為超過 300 萬人提供人工智慧技能，並建立一個專注於人工智慧和機器人技術的實驗室。

協作機器人（Cobots）的擴展

採用協作機器人或協作機器人是日本機器人市場的最新趨勢之一。協作機器人是允許人與機器之間協作的機器人，涉及各個領域，包括製造、醫療保健和物流；這些機器人提高了生產力和安全性，同時解決了日本因人口老化而導致的勞動力短缺問題。靈活性、易於整合和成本效率使得協作機器人在中小型企業中更有吸引力，可以自動執行繁瑣或危險的重複任務。協作機器人的日益普及標誌著跨產業共享人機協作的趨勢。例如，2024 年，安川推出了 YMConnect SDK，這是一個跨平台庫，使自訂 PC 應用程式能夠透過乙太網路控制機器人，提供直覺的 API、C++ 17 支援和全面的文件。 YMConnect 的推出與工業環境中協作機器人 (cobot) 的日益普及相一致。

醫療保健和老年護理機器人技術的發展

日本目前面臨的人口挑戰正在推動機器人技術在醫療保健和老年護理領域的應用取得進展。老年人口的增加也推動了對輔助機器人的需求，包括提供行動支援和健康監測的輔助機器人，其護理能力正在不斷提高。此外，手術機器人和醫療程序自動化系統擴大被醫療機構所接受，並改善了患者的治療效果。例如，2024 年，NVIDIA 與 Jetson Thor 一起推出了人形機器人基礎模型 Project GR00T，該模型由 Blackwell GPU 提供支持，可提供 800 teraflops 的 AI 性能，並透過生成式 AI 更新了 Isaac™ 機器人平台工具。這些主要部署在醫院。這一趨勢表明機器人技術在滿足關鍵社會需求方面所發揮的作用，因為它推動了衛生部門的效率和創新。總而言之，這些進步凸顯了機器人技術對日本經濟和社會的重大變革影響。

第 8 章：附錄

The Japan robotics market size was valued at USD 2.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 3.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 1.8% from 2025-2033. The market is witnessing rapid growth, principally bolstered by advancements in industrial automation and escalating demand for service robots. Additionally, the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), advent of collaborative robots, and growth in robotics for healthcare and elder care further contribute to the market expansion.

Advances in industrial automation significantly drive the Japanese robotics market. The country's manufacturing sector, especially in the automotive, electronics, and machinery industries, continues to adopt robotic systems to enhance efficiency and precision, and reduce operational costs in production processes. This shift is in line with Japan's push to retain its lead in high-tech manufacturing at the global level. For instance, in 2024, Toyota announced the launch of a free Level 4 self-driving service in a 1.5 square kilometer area of Odaiba, Tokyo, transitioning to a paid robotaxi service in 2025. Robotics integration into production lines is further augmented by technological innovations such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, which enhance the functionality and adaptability of robots. The constantly increasing demand for flexible automation solutions, that are able to handle diverse and complex tasks, is further expanding the scope of robotics applications and causing investments and growth in the market.

Another major factor driving the growth of Japan's robotics market is the increasing demand for service robots. With an aging population, the healthcare sector and elder care are progressively integrating robotics to provide assistance with household tasks. These robots are rapidly being incorporated with advanced sensors and AI-driven communication, enhancing safety and convenience. In line with this, recently, other industries, such as logistics, retail, and hospitality, are also rapidly adopting service robots to improve customer experience and operational efficiencies, which, in turn, is favoring the market growth across the country. For instance, in July 2024, West Japan Railway Company (JR West), Japan's largest rail operator, introduced the Multifunctional Railway Heavy Equipment robot for maintenance tasks. Developed in collaboration with Nippon Signal and Jinki Ittai, the robot can operate at heights up to 12 meters (39 feet) and handle weights of up to 40 kilograms (88 pounds). Controlled via VR goggles and specialized hand controls, the robot enhances productivity, reduces worker risks, and enables less physically demanding operation. This highlights Japan's rising demand for service robots in addressing labor challenges and enhancing efficiency in critical industries like rail maintenance.

Japan Robotics Market Trends:

Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

The integration of AI and ML in the robotics market is one of the leading trends in Japan's robotics market. Highly advanced robotics systems have started to gain more advanced AI-driven capabilities, allowing them to perform complex tasks, adapt to dynamic environments, and engage with humans without any friction. The AI and ML capabilities empower the robots to learn from data, improve operational efficiency, and make real-time decisions. This can be really seen especially with industrial and service robots, where flexibility and high accuracy are the most urgent needs. The country aims to hold on to its leadership in the world of technology. Investments in AI-powered robotics will augment rapidly. For instance, in 2024, Microsoft announced a $2.9 billion investment in Japan over the next two years to enhance its cloud computing and AI infrastructure, marking its largest commitment in the country. This initiative includes expanding digital training programs to equip over 3 million individuals with AI skills in three years and establishing a lab focused on AI and robotics.

Expansion of Collaborative Robots (Cobots)

Adopting cobots, or collaborative robots, is one of the most recent trends in the Japanese robotics market. Cobots are robots that allow collaboration between humans and machines, across various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics; these robots yield increased productivity and safety while coping with labor shortages in Japan due to its aging population. Flexibility, ease of integration, and cost efficiency are what make cobots more attractive to implement in small and medium-sized enterprises for automating tedious or hazardous repetitive tasks. The increasing adoption of cobots signifies a trend toward shared human-robot collaboration across different sectors. For instance, in 2024, Yaskawa introduced YMConnect SDK, a cross-platform library enabling custom PC applications to control robots via Ethernet, offering intuitive APIs, C++ 17 support, and comprehensive documentation. The introduction of YMConnect aligns with the growing adoption of collaborative robots (cobots) in industrial settings.

Growth in Robotics for Healthcare and Elder Care

Advances in the application of robotics in healthcare and elder care are being driven by the demographic challenges presently facing Japan. An increasing elderly population is also driving demand for assistive robots, including those providing mobility support and monitoring health, and whose caregiving capabilities are on the rise. Furthermore, surgical robots and automated systems for medical procedures are being increasingly accepted in healthcare facilities and improving patient outcomes. For instance, in 2024, NVIDIA launched Project GR00T, a foundation model for humanoid robots, together with Jetson Thor, which is powered by the Blackwell GPU and offers 800 teraflops of AI performance, and updated the Isaac(TM) robotics platform with generative AI tools. These are primarily deployed in hospitals. This is a trend indicating the role that robotics serves in fulfilling critical societal needs as it propels the health sector's efficiency and innovation. Taken together, these advances highlight the significantly transformative effects of robotics on Japan's economy and society.
