As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape manufacturing; the next decade is expected to see a fundamental shift towards smarter, greener and more resilient industries with emerging markets playing a key role in driving this transformation. Accordingly, on page 22 of ISMR's February issue, the potential of Generative AI to revolutionise industrial robotics (paving the way for more intelligent, adaptable and autonomous machines) is chronicled.

In this issue of ISMR, we also highlight seismic shifts, challenges and opportunities in global automotive markets for manufacturers (page18). Read about economic growth rates and trends in Asian and Asia-Pacific markets for manufacturers, with selected forecasts for 2025/6, in our regional report on page 32.
