The report explored the state of automation and the future of work across 12 APAC countries including Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are the countries most at risk and least prepared for automation.
For Haresh Khoobchandani, Vice President, the Asia Pacific at Autodesk, “Automation creates opportunities for a better future of work, particularly in APAC where 60% of the global workforce resides.”
With automation, companies can offload jobs that are dangerous, dull or dirty, and focus on more productive and higher-value work. For example, the use of robots can reduce common manufacturing injuries by up to 72%. By leveraging automation intelligently across major industries such as construction, logistics, and transport, productivity can be boosted, hence generating significant economic benefits.
