![U.S. manufacturers continued to invest in automation, says the IFR.](https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IFR_US_Manufacturing.jpg)
U.S. producers have more and more adopted automation, says the IFR.
Complete installations of commercial robots rose by 12% and reached 44,303 models in 2023, as U.S. producers invested closely in additional automation, reported the Worldwide Federation of Robotics, or IFR, at the moment. The automotive trade continues to be the No. 1 adopter, adopted by {the electrical} and electronics sector, based on the IFR’s preliminary outcomes.
“America has probably the most superior manufacturing industries worldwide,” said Marina Invoice, president of the IFR. “The primary IFR outlook on preliminary outcomes reveals once more sturdy robotics demand throughout all main segments of U.S. manufacturing in 2023.”
U.S. automakers nonetheless lead
Gross sales within the automotive section rose by 1%, with a document 14,678 robots put in in 2023, stated the IFR. This comes after installations in 2022 skyrocketed by 47%, reaching 14,472 models, famous the Frankfurt, Germany-based group.
The market share of automobile and element makers reached 33% of all industrial robotic installations within the U.S. in 2023. The U.S. has the second-largest manufacturing quantity of automobiles and light-weight autos worldwide after China.
“Automotive producers presently put money into robotics primarily to drive the electrical car transition and reply to labor shortages,” Invoice stated.
Electrical and electronics trade adopts robots
Installations within the electrical and electronics trade rose by 37% to five,120 models in 2023, stated the IFR. This quantity virtually reached the document pre-pandemic stage of 5,284 models, seen in 2018.
The most recent outcome represents a market share of 12% of all industrial robots put in within the U.S. manufacturing trade. World installations reached document numbers in 2022, the IFR famous.
It attributed current demand for industrial robots amongst U.S. electronics makers by efforts to strengthen home provide chains and initiatives towards clean-energy transitions.

Demand sturdy amongst different U.S. producers
Set up counts in different U.S. industries exceeding the three,000-unit mark included steel and equipment (4,123 models, +6%) and plastic and chemical merchandise (3,213 models, +5%).
They symbolize a market share of 9% and seven% of U.S. producer robotic installations in 2023, respectively, stated the IFR.
Canada and Mexico additionally climb
Robotic set up in Canada reached 4,616 models – up 43%. The automotive trade accounts for 55% of the nation´s robotic installations. Gross sales to the automotive sector rose by 99% with 2,549 models put in in 2023. That is an all-time excessive.
Robotic installations in Mexico’s manufacturing trade remained virtually unchanged, with 5,868 models in 2023. The nation´s predominant adopter was the automotive trade, which accounted for 69% of the robotic installations in 2023
The IFR stated gross sales in Mexico reached 4,068 models (-0%) in 2023 – the third finest outcome for the reason that peak stage of 4,805 models, in 2017.
IFR to launch extra outcomes
The IFR plans to publish the presentation on preliminary figures held by Invoice through the IFR Govt Roundtable on Might 8. The federation stated it’s going to launch closing outcomes of the most recent World Robotics information on Sept. 24.
The group may even be current at Sales space 2790 at Automate in Chicago subsequent week.
