China’s large funding in industrial robotics has put the nation within the high rating of robotic density, surpassing the USA for the primary time. The variety of operational industrial robots relative to the variety of employees hit 322 models per 10,000 workers within the manufacturing business. At present, China ranks in fifth place. The world´s high 5 most automated international locations in manufacturing 2021 are: South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Germany and China.
World common of robotic density greater than doubles in comparison with six years in the past (2015: 69 models)
“Robotic density is a key indicator of automation adoption within the manufacturing business world wide,” says Marina Invoice, President of the Worldwide Federation of Robotics. “The brand new common of worldwide robotic density within the manufacturing business surged to 141 robots per 10,000 workers – greater than double the quantity six years in the past. China’s fast development exhibits the facility of its funding to date, but it surely nonetheless has a lot alternative to automate.”
Robotic density by area
Pushed by the excessive quantity of robotic installations lately, Asia’s common robotic density surged by 18% compound annual development charge (CAGR) since 2016 to 156 models per 10,000 workers in 2021. The European robotic density had been rising by 8% (CAGR) in the identical time frame reaching 129 models. Within the Americas it was 117 robots – plus 8% (CAGR).
Prime international locations
The Republic of Korea hit an all-time excessive of 1,000 industrial robots per 10,000 workers in 2021. That is greater than thrice the quantity reached in China and makes the nation primary worldwide. With its globally acknowledged electronics business and a definite automotive sector, the Korean economic system income from two massive buyer industries for industrial robots.
Singapore takes second place with a charge of 670 robots per 10,000 workers in 2021. Singapore’s robotic density had been rising by 24% on common annually since 2016.
There’s a outstanding hole to Japan (399 robots per 10,000 workers) which ranks third. Japan’s robotic density had grown by 6% on common annually since 2016. Germany in fourth place (397 models) is the biggest robotic market in Europe.
China is by far the quickest rising robotic market on the earth. The nation has the very best variety of annual installations, and since 2016 it has annually had the biggest operational inventory of robots.
United States
Robotic density within the United States rose from 255 models in 2020 to 274 models in 2021. The nation ranks ninth on the earth, down from seventh – now head-to-head with Chinese language Taipei (276 models) and behind Hong Kong (304 models) and Sweden (321 models).
