In South Korea, the miniature harmonic actuator market is experiencing robust growth due to its strong electronics and robotics manufacturing ecosystem. The rising demand for compact and high-precision components in robotic arms, surgical equipment, and semiconductor machinery is a key driver. Moreover, government initiatives supporting smart factories and industrial automation are accelerating the adoption of advanced motion control solutions. However, reliance on imported precision components and raw materials poses a restraint, especially amid global supply chain fluctuations. A major trend is the integration of harmonic actuators into collaborative robots (cobots), increasingly used in manufacturing and healthcare. Local firms are investing in R&D to reduce dependence on imports and enhance technological competitiveness. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of around 8.6% from 2024 to 2030.
