Avnet Insights Survey: APAC Engineers Accelerate AI Adoption Across Industries
China Masters AI at Scale, Japan Leads in Reliability, Driving Regional Innovation
BANGALORE, India, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in products and solutions across Asia-Pacific, as engineers advance adoption while addressing operational and design challenges. This is according to Avnet’s fifth annual Avnet Insights survey, which tracks global trends in AI integration across industries.
Globally, 77% of engineers reported improving market conditions for their design products and solutions. Across APAC, adoption is accelerating, with China leading in large-scale deployment and Japan emphasizing reliability and long product lifecycles. These regional strengths and shifting priorities are collectively fueling the next wave of Asia-Pacific’s technological evolution.
“While this year’s survey focuses on established design hubs such as China and Japan, the findings provide valuable context for markets like India,” said Suresh Kamath, Managing Director, Avnet India. “As India continues its transition from a services-led economy toward product-driven innovation, the global shift toward at-scale, commercial-first AI offers important lessons for local automotive and industrial electronics ecosystems.”
