Where do most robots work?
The World Robotics Report found that approx 70 percent newly implemented robots He’s working in Asia. Next 17 percent operates in Europe and 10 percent in the Americas, mainly in the USA,

After a quick rebound automation after the pandemic, there was a slowdown last year in some countries that led the process, the report says. Annual number of new installations compared to 2022 dropped in China by 5%. Currently in the Middle Kingdom more than half of the world’s industrial robots are in use.
The United States is struggling to maintain production
An increase in the number of newly robots installed in the USA over the last few years has resulted from trials stopping production lines and factories in the country. Despite this, the installation volume in 2023 was slightly lower than in the previous year. A similar situation also occurred in Japan and Korea.
Automation leader in the European Union
Germany were the only one of the five most automated countries in which Robot installation accelerated last year compared to 2022. The second and third largest European market, i.e Italy and Francerecorded declines in this area. “War in Ukrainerestrictive monetary policy and relative weakness European automotive industry compared to China reduce investments (in robotization of production lines),” we read in the report reasons for stagnation in this area.
Where are robots replacing people on the production line?
Even countries with very large labor resources they turn to robots. Number new installations in India increased by 59 percent to a record 8,510 units last year. It is primarily responsible for this growth automotive industry.
The country’s robot supply has “almost doubled since 2018,” said Marina Bill, president of the International Federation of Robotics. “India is one of the fastest growing economies among Asian emerging markets“.
