With the rising capability of robots and the aging workforce in most countries I was wondering who is taking the bull by the horns and installing robots at scale? The stats are a bit old (2022-23) but they tell the story. The answer is China.
Other interesting facts
- The total stock of industrial robots reached 3.9 million units globally, a 12% increase from the previous year (can’t wait to see what the 2024 figures reveal)
- Key application areas for professional service robots include hospitality, healthcare, agriculture, professional cleaning, and logistics.
