Insights

The partnership between HWH International and SHRG to enter the robotics market through A3 membership represents a strategic positioning, but several critical factors warrant careful consideration. The North American robot market's 8.8% growth and $475 million quarterly sales indicate a healthy market trajectory. However, HWH's micro-cap status ($13.6 million) raises questions about their ability to compete effectively in a capital-intensive industry dominated by larger players.

The Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model could provide a competitive edge by lowering entry barriers for customers, but success will heavily depend on execution capability and capital availability. The divergence between automotive component orders (+61%) and OEM orders (-15%) suggests a shifting market dynamic that requires careful segment targeting.

The RaaS business model presents both opportunities and significant challenges. While it reduces initial customer investment barriers, it requires substantial capital from HWH to maintain and deploy robot fleets. The partnership with SHRG and A3 membership provides valuable industry connections, but the technical infrastructure and support requirements for a successful RaaS operation are intensive. The reported market growth in non-automotive sectors (56% of orders) aligns with their diversification strategy, but competing against established players with deeper technical expertise and resources will be challenging. The planned Q1 2025 launch timeline appears aggressive given the complexity of robotics deployment and service infrastructure requirements.

BETHESDA, MD, Dec. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HWH International Inc. (“HWH”) (Nasdaq: HWH) and its partner Sharing Services Global Corporation (“SHRG”) (OTC: SHRG) are taking further steps in their collaboration in the robotics field. Among these, HWH is proud to highlight its U.S. based partner SHRG’s membership in the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) and attendance at the A3 Business Forum in Orlando Florida in January 2025.

A3 is North America’s largest automation trade association representing more than 1300 organizations involved in robotics, artificial intelligence, machine vision & imaging, motion control & motors and related automation technologies. A3 advocacy principles represent key drivers for the support and expansion of the robotics and automation industries. While their focus is on the United States, these principles also benefit allied countries in other regions and welcome their broader adoption by government officials elsewhere. See a list of their members https://www.automate.org/companies which include major public companies listed on several exchange markets.

As HWH’s U.S. partner, SHRG commences its launch in the first quarter of 2025 to distribute robotics throughout the U.S. in several different sectors, membership in this organization is important for access to the top speakers, contacts and experts in the industry. HWH and SHRG share an optimism that the integration of robots into diverse areas of everyday life will offer growth opportunities to businesses that engage with the industry to find new collaborations.

In an update posted on November 22, 2024, A3 Market Intelligence announced that robot sales in North America were up 8.8% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. According to the Association for Advancing Automation, companies purchased 7,329 robots from July through September, valued at $475 million. Unit volume growth was higher than revenue, with a 14.1% increase in units ordered.

A3 Market Intelligence’s November 22, 2024 update went to note that labor shortages and the growing demand for efficiency are driving businesses to embrace automation as a critical strategy for staying competitive on the global stage, and to express optimism about the opportunities 2025 will bring for the industry.
