World Robotics 2023 report: Asia ahead of Europe and the Americas

The brand-new Globe Robotics record tape-recorded 553,052 commercial robotic setups in manufacturing facilities worldwide– a development price of 5% in 2022, year-on-year. By area, 73% of all freshly released robotics were mounted in Asia, 15% in Europe and 10% in the Americas.

” The globe document of 500,000 systems was gone beyond for the 2nd year one by one,” claims Marina Costs, Head Of State of the International Federation of Robotics. “In 2023 the commercial robotic market is anticipated to expand by 7% to greater than 590,000 systems worldwide.”

Asia, Europe and the Americas– summary

China is without a doubt the globe ´ s biggest market. In 2022, yearly setups of 290,258 systems changed the previous document of 2021 by development of 5%. This most recent gain is impressive given that it also covers the 2021 outcome that was a 57% dive contrasted to 2020. To offer this vibrant market, residential and global robotic distributors have actually developed manufacturing plants in China and continually raised capability. Typically, yearly robotic setups have actually expanded by 13% yearly (2017-2022).

Robotic setups in Japan were up by 9% to 50,413 systems, going beyond the pre-pandemic degree of 49,908 systems in 2019. The peak degree continues to be at 55,240 systems in 2018. The nation rates 2nd to China in dimension of market for commercial robotics. Yearly setups got 2% typically each year (2017-2022). Japan is the globe ´ s primary robotic production nation with a market share of 46% of the worldwide robotic manufacturing.

The marketplace in the Republic of Korea increased by 1%– setups got to 31,716 systems in 2022. This was the 2nd year of minimal development, adhering to 4 years of decreasing installment numbers. The Republic of Korea continues to be the 4th biggest robotic market on the planet, adhering to the USA, Japan, and China.

Europe

The European Union continues to be the globe ´ s second biggest market (70,781 systems; +5%) in 2022. Germany is just one of the leading 5 adopters worldwide with a market share of 36% within the EU. Germany ´ s setups dropped by 1% to 25,636 systems. Italy adheres to with a market share of 16% within the EU– setups expanded by 8% to 11,475 systems. The 3rd biggest EU market, France, tape-recorded a local market share of 10% and got 13%, setting up 7,380 systems in 2022.

In the post-Brexit UK, commercial robotic setups were up by 3% to 2,534 systems in 2022. This is much less than a tenth of Germany ´ s sales.

The Americas

In the Americas, setups were up 8% to 56,053 systems in 2022, exceeding the 2018 top degree (55,212 systems). The USA, the biggest local market, made up 71% of the setups in the Americas in 2022. Robotic setups were up by 10% to 39,576 systems. This was simply timid of the peak degree of 40,373 systems attained in 2018. The primary development vehicle driver was the automobile market that presented rising setups by +47% (14,472 systems). The share of the automobile market has actually currently expanded back to 37%, adhered to by the steel and equipment market (3,900 systems) and the electrical/electronics market (3,732 systems).

Both various other significant markets are Mexico— below setups expanded by 13% (6,000 systems)– and Canada, where need visited 24% (3,223 systems). This was the outcome of reduced need from the automobile market– the toughest adopter.

Brazil is a vital manufacturing website for car and automobile components: The International Company of Car Manufacturers (OICA) reports a result of 2.4 million cars in 2022. This reveals the massive possibility for automation in the nation. Yearly installment matters expanded instead gradually with intermittent ups and downs. In 2022, 1,858 robotics were mounted. This was 4% greater than in the previous year.

Expectation

The year 2023 will certainly be identified by a stagnation of the worldwide financial development. Robotic setups in 2023 are not anticipated to follow this pattern. There is no indicator that the total lasting development fad will certainly pertain to an end quickly: instead the contrary will certainly hold true. The mark of 600,000 systems mounted each year worldwide is anticipated to be gotten to in 2024.
