Market Chatter: SoftBank's $5.38 Billion ABB Buy Signals Shift in Japan Robotics Race

MT Newswires Live

02/03

Japanese robotics companies are shifting strategy as "physical AI" robots move the industry focus from hardware precision to data and software, Nikkei reported Tuesday.

SoftBank Group (TYO:9984) in October said it will buy ABB's robotics business for $5.38 billion, seeking to combine its AI with ABB's hardware after the unit shipped over 500,000 robots, according to the report.

Japan's share of the global robotics market fell to about 40% in 2024 from around 80% in the 1980s, according to International Federation of Robotics data, as rivals such as Tesla and China's Unitree gain ground, the report said.

Fanuc (TYO:6954) and Yaskawa (TYO:6506) are also opening up. Fanuc in December said it will work with Nvidia on open-source robot control software, while Yaskawa said it will partner with SoftBank Corp. to develop AI-enabled robots for offices, hospitals and commercial facilities, according to the report.
