China’s huge funding in industrial robotics has put the nation within the prime rating of robotic density, surpassing the United States for the primary time. The variety of operational industrial robots relative to the variety of staff hit 322 items per 10,000 staff within the manufacturing business. Today, China ranks in fifth place. The world´s prime 5 most automated nations in manufacturing 2021 are: South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Germany and China.
“Robot density is a key indicator of automation adoption in the manufacturing industry around the world,” says Marina Bill, President of the International Federation of Robotics. “The new average of global robot density in the manufacturing industry surged to 141 robots per 10,000 employees – more than double the number six years ago. China’s rapid growth shows the power of its investment so far, but it still has much opportunity to automate.”
Robot density by area
Driven by the excessive quantity of robotic installations lately, Asia’s common robotic density surged by 18% compound annual progress price (CAGR) since 2016 to 156 items per 10,000 staff in 2021. The European robotic density had been rising by 8% (CAGR) in the identical time frame reaching 129 items. In the Americas it was 117 robots – plus 8% (CAGR).
Top nations
The Republic of Korea hit an all-time excessive of 1,000 industrial robots per 10,000 staff in 2021. This is greater than 3 times 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 giant buyer industries for industrial robots.
Singapore takes second place with a price of 670 robots per 10,000 staff in 2021. Singapore’s robotic density had been rising by 24% on common annually since 2016.
There is a exceptional hole to Japan (399 robots per 10,000 staff) which ranks third. Japan’s robotic density had grown by 6% on common annually since 2016. Germany in fourth place (397 items) is the biggest robotic market in Europe.
China is by far the quickest rising robotic market on the planet. 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
Robot density within the United States rose from 255 items in 2020 to 274 items in 2021. The nation ranks ninth on the planet, down from seventh – now head-to-head with Chinese Taipei (276 items) and behind Hong Kong (304 items) and Sweden (321 items).
