Annual installations of robots in the world’s factories exceeded half a million for the third straight year, pushing the total to 4.3 million at the end of 2023, according to the International Federation of Robotics.
The World Robotics Report found that about 70% of the newly deployed robots were in Asia, 17% in Europe and 10% in the Americas, mostly in the U.S.
After a rapid post-pandemic rebound in automation, last year saw a slowdown in some of the countries that have led the drive, according to the report. Annual installations were down by 5% in China compared with 2022, though the country still installed more than half of the world’s new industrial robots.Â
