The Industries & Strategies database tracks, since 2016, every industrial investment (manufacturing,
energy, logistics, R&D) announced worldwide (over 30 MUSD or 50 jobs). Each information is
classified by product, sector, company, country, even a qualitative score (factories of the future
score). Since january 2016, 8 973 investments have been tracked, among them 4 292 in Asia (almost
50%). As the database is updated weekly, our users benefit from a more detailed
information, including cancelled investments, factories of the future score details,

Geographical repartition within Asia
Tracking information throughout a list of languages that does not include Chinese, yet, we probably
underestimate investment in China, as only the biggest investments are reported by English speaking media.
In an appendix, we try to estimate the degree of this under-evaluation. All following comments must then
be understood keeping this point in mind.
India and China altogether make slightly more than half of the amount invested in Asia, and two thirds of
the number of projects tracked. In number of projects, Vietnam and Japan rank third and fourth, but Saudi
Arabia and Indonesia replace them by amount invested – Saudi Arabia having one of the highest amount
invested by project.

Investment by country of origin
Asia is the geographical area where the share of endogenous investments2
is the highest – with 93%
of investments coming from Asia3
. For each Asian country, in the following table, we added in the
last column the share of domestic investment in the overall amount of investment from domestic
companies (the first line of the table indicates that Chinese companies announced 579 investment
projects, for $490 billion, 82,7% of which invested in China).
The United States are the first investor outside the zone, followed by the United Kingdom, Kuwait,
France and Germany. A spectacular result is the very low share of Japanese investments going to
Japan itself: 16,7%.

In Asia, investments by state owned companies is important: 8% of projects and 18% of amount
invested are undertaken by state owned companies (in the rest of the world, it is 5% of projects and
10% of amounts invested). We also find state owned holdings or funds, such as Chinese Everbright,
at the top positions in our ranking. By amount invested, BP, Exxon and Chevron are the first three
foreign investors. By number of projects Amazon, Cargill and the Canadian Fairfax financial
altogether announced 57 projects. Those 30 top investors represent 27% of overall investment in
Asia.

Qualitative scores
Our factories of the future score aggregates six components defined with our partners4
:
- Flexibility: the ability to switch from a product to another, enabling made-to-order
manufacturing,
- Digitalization: the introduction of technologies such as IoT, robotics, automation,
- Energy efficiency: every measure taken to lower energy consumption compared with usual
norms,
- Social efforts: measures undertaken for operations, through working conditions, health and
safety concern, training, education and wages…,
- Territorial efforts: decisions aiming at improving the relations between a production site and
local communities and stakeholders, such as favoring local suppliers, funding schools,
contributing to local social projects…,
- Environmental efforts: reducing carbon footprint and pollution, water preservation…
Each criterion is ranked 0 (no mention in the news describing the investment), 1 (some measures described)
or 2 (quantitative objectives defined for the criterion considered or insistence on it). Adding those 0-2 scores
over six criteria gives a total Industry of the Future score which varies from 0 to 12.
There are, listed in the following table, the 12 projects with a score of 9 or more. The average score
in Asia is 0,89, lower than the average global score (1,03). There is no apparent link between the
factory of the future score and the size of the projects. The average score for FDI investments
(0,86) is lower than the average domestic score (0,91).

Detail of the energy sector, by product and type of product
The next table shows the detail by product and type of products for the energy sector. The nuclear
sector and fossil fuel power plants are roughly equivalent, with 76% of investments in the sector.
With 23%, the renewables come in third position, with hydroelectricity much more present than
solar and wind.

China is under-represented in our
database, by which amount?
In our results, readers will find that investment in India is 2% higher than in China. This does not seem
coherent with the fact that Chinese GDP is 2,4 times higher than India’s5, and China’s GDP share of
industry is also higher than in India – by ten points. As the following chart shows, for each category of
investment, by amount, we have more projects detected in India, except when amounts invested become
closer to the $2,5 billion range. Most probably, the projects in China under this size are not reported by
English speaking media, only in the Chinese media. We think that working in Chinese will help us, in the
near future, to close the gap of information between China and India. It must also be taken into account
the fact that the IMF forecasts a higher growth in India than in China in 20186, which could lead to a Chinese
lead over India lower than expected.
Number of projects in India (green dots) and China (red dots), for each class of investments by amount
invested (there are in our database 100 investments between $10 M and $50 M in China, and 600 in India).

“Understanding industrial and high value
investment strategies worldwide, in real-time„
It is very easy to obtain aggregated data on industrial investment worldwide. But who is behind the numbers?
The Industries & strategies database gather qualitative and quantitative information about industrial
investments announced worldwide. For each investment that we detect through 200 000 web sources
worldwide, we fill a complete fact sheet with amount invested, jobs created, sector, mother company and
so on, but we also score the project along six industry 4.0 criteria (production flexibility, energetic efficiency,
digitalisation level, environmental measures, territorial measures, social efforts). An innovative tool to
analyse industrial investment worldwide in real-time.
Easily take the pulse of world industry and industry 4.0
 Investment and job announcements are very good indicators of industrial trends
 We will publish a yearly analysis of our data to subscribers
 Complete description of investment projects, with geocoded information
 Identification of customers, suppliers and funding entities
 Clear ranking of industry 4.0 criteria worldwide (40% of projects are scored)
Define your commercial strategy, lobby and share
 Easy identification of landmark projects a bonus for B2B industrial suppliers
 Following sectoral and geographical trends through time
Research and marketing made easy
 The database make it easier to identify the major players in world industries
 Our qualitative analysis makes it easy to focus on best practices
Stimulate your team
The database is very good as a quick answer to all your intuitions that may or may not be confirmed by a
thorough tracking of industrial investment worldwide. With this tool you and your team will be able to
adjust your strategy with a better analysis of world trends.
