The brand new World Robotics report recorded 553,052 industrial robotic installations in factories world wide – a progress price of 5% in 2022, year-on-year. By area, 73% of all newly deployed robots had been put in in Asia, 15% in Europe and 10% within the Americas.
“The world report of 500,000 items was exceeded for the second yr in succession,” says Marina Invoice, President of the Worldwide Federation of Robotics. “In 2023 the commercial robotic market is anticipated to develop by 7% to greater than 590,000 items worldwide.”
Asia, Europe and the Americas – overview
China is by far the world´s largest market. In 2022, annual installations of 290,258 items changed the earlier report of 2021 by progress of 5%. This newest achieve is outstanding because it even tops the 2021 outcome that was a 57% soar in comparison with 2020. To serve this dynamic market, home and worldwide robotic suppliers have established manufacturing vegetation in China and repeatedly elevated capability. On common, annual robotic installations have grown by 13% every year (2017-2022).
Robotic installations in Japan had been up by 9% to 50,413 items, exceeding the pre-pandemic degree of 49,908 items in 2019. The height degree stays at 55,240 items in 2018. The nation ranks second to China in measurement of marketplace for industrial robots. Annual installations gained 2% on common per yr (2017-2022). Japan is the world´s predominant robotic manufacturing nation with a market share of 46% of the worldwide robotic manufacturing.
The market within the Republic of Korea rose by 1% – installations reached 31,716 items in 2022. This was the second yr of marginal progress, following 4 years of declining set up figures. The Republic of Korea stays the fourth largest robotic market on this planet, following america, Japan, and China.
Europe
The European Union stays the world´s second largest market (70,781 items; +5%) in 2022. Germany is among the prime 5 adopters worldwide with a market share of 36% inside the EU. Germany´s installations went down by 1% to 25,636 items. Italy follows with a market share of 16% inside the EU – installations grew by 8% to 11,475 items. The third largest EU market, France, recorded a regional market share of 10% and gained 13%, putting in 7,380 items in 2022.
Within the post-Brexit United Kingdom, industrial robotic installations had been up by 3% to 2,534 items in 2022. That is lower than a tenth of Germany´s gross sales.
The Americas
Within the Americas, installations had been up 8% to 56,053 items in 2022, surpassing the 2018 peak degree (55,212 items). The United States, the biggest regional market, accounted for 71% of the installations within the Americas in 2022. Robotic installations had been up by 10% to 39,576 items. This was simply shy of the height degree of 40,373 items achieved in 2018. The principle progress driver was the automotive trade that displayed surging installations by +47% (14,472 items). The share of the automotive trade has now grown again to 37%, adopted by the steel and equipment trade (3,900 items) and the electrical/electronics trade (3,732 items).
The 2 different main markets are Mexico – right here installations grew by 13% (6,000 items) – and Canada, the place demand dropped by 24% (3,223 items). This was the results of decrease demand from the automotive trade – the strongest adopter.
Brazil is a vital manufacturing web site for motor autos and automotive elements: The Worldwide Group of Motor Automobile Producers (OICA) studies an output of two.4 million autos in 2022. This exhibits the massive potential for automation within the nation. Annual set up counts grew slightly slowly with cyclical ups and downs. In 2022, 1,858 robots had been put in. This was 4% greater than within the earlier yr.
Outlook
The yr 2023 might be characterised by a slowdown of the worldwide financial progress. Robotic installations in 2023 aren’t anticipated to comply with this sample. There isn’t any indication that the general long-term progress pattern will come to an finish quickly: slightly the opposite would be the case. The mark of 600,000 items put in per yr worldwide is anticipated to be reached in 2024.
