The density of industrial robots reached a new peak in 2022, according to the latest report from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). There are now 151 installed industrial robots worldwide for every 10,000 employees. In Asia, the figure is even higher, with 168 units per 10,000 employees.

The robot density is particularly high in South Korea (place 1: 1,012 units per 10,000 employees), Singapore (place 2: 730 units per 10,000 employees), and Germany (place 3: 415 units per 10,000 employees) according to the IFR.

In 2022, while the majority of industrial robots were produced in Japan, the country only ranks fourth in terms of installed robot density (397 units per 10,000 employees).

In summary, it can be said that the demand for industrial robots has increased significantly again. This should particularly please manufacturers, who come from, among other places, Japan and Asia but not exclusively.

In our picture gallery, we show you which manufacturers of industrial robots achieved the highest sales in 2022.

As early as 2023, the stock of industrial robots worldwide reached a new record: the International Federation of Robotics counted as many as 3.9 million units.

Demand is driven by a number of exciting technological innovations, according to the association. These include the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, new applications for cobots, and developments in the areas of mobile manipulators, digital twins, and humanoid robots.
