Industrial robotic gross sales in India have reached a brand new report with 4,945 items put in in 2021, in accordance with the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). This is a 54% improve in comparison with 2020 when 3,215 items had been put in.
India now ranks tenth on this planet in annual installations, in accordance with the IFR. The nation’s largest robotics buyer is the automotive business, which operated 31% of the nation’s industrial robots in 2021.
“India is one of the world’s fastest-growing industrial economies,” Marina Bill, President of the International Federation of Robotics, mentioned. “Within five years, the operational stock of industrial robots has more than doubled, to reach 33,220 units in 2021. This corresponds to an average annual growth rate of 16% since 2016.”
Within India’s automotive business, installations greater than doubled to 1,547 items in 2021, a 108% improve. Robot density, which measures the variety of industrial robots per 10,000 staff, reached 148 in 2021.
Other vital robotic patrons in India in 2021 embody the steel business, which put in 308 items, a 9% lower from 2020, the rubber and plastics business with 246 items, up 27%, and {the electrical} and electronics business with 215 items, up 98%.
While India doesn’t rank within the high ten in robotic density on this planet, that would change throughout the subsequent decade. In 2010, China’s automotive robotic density hit 131 items per 10,000 staff, and in 2021 it had grown to 772 items.
Now, China has a better total robotic density than the United States and was the fifth most automated nation worldwide in 2021.
The Indian authorities has taken measures to help using robotics within the nation. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, for instance, set to run till 2025, subsidizes corporations that create manufacturing capability in India in robotic buyer industries like automotive, steel, prescription drugs, and meals processing.
“As a result of the recent supply chain disruption, companies are rethinking their nearshoring strategies in Southeast Asia,” Bill mentioned. “India has traditionally been a popular destination for nearshoring in the manufacturing segment. The Indian government wants the country to be considered for new diversification options such as friendshoring, which is partnering with countries that share similar values and interests.”
