On a worldwide scale, the US accounted for 7% of robotic installations in 2022, inserting the US third on this planet following China and Japan
The brand new World Robotics report exhibits robotic installations in the US had been up by 10% to 39,576 items in 2022, virtually matching the all-time peak stage of 40,373 items achieved in 2018.
“America is the most important American market and accounted for 71% of complete installations on the American continent in 2022,” says Marina Invoice, President of the Worldwide Federation of Robotics. “On a worldwide scale, the US accounted for 7% of robotic installations in 2022, inserting the US third on this planet following China and Japan.”
Automotive business up 47%
The US automotive business was the principle development driver. The phase displayed surging installations by +47% (14,472 items). This represents a market share of 37%. Installations within the metallic and equipment business declined by 7% to three,900 items, after installations virtually doubled within the earlier yr. Installations within the electrical/electronics business had been up by 26% to three,732 items.
Outlook
The continued yr 2023 has proven ambiguous indicators: labor shortages and inflation are nonetheless hampering the financial system and the comparatively excessive rates of interest have dampened the final propensity to take a position. The order consumption of robotics within the US was down in Q1 and Q2/2023, however the giant order backlog permits manufacturing to stay at a excessive stage this yr. A cause to be optimistic is the large political assist for funding by the US authorities, based mostly on the Chips and Science Act, the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Discount Act. Triggered by these assist measures, new manufacturing capability is being created within the automotive business, the electronics business, the chemical and pharmaceutical business, and within the metallic business. All these industries have a excessive demand for robots.
