Global Robot Density in Factories Doubled in last Seven Years

Good news! Now we need more robots to fix robots! 😊

"Global robot density in the manufacturing industry, measured by the number of factory robots per 10,000 manufacturing employees, has more than doubled over the last seven years, growing from 74 robots to 162. Leading the pack is South Korea, with roughly one factory robot for every ten manufacturing employees. This increased automation can improve productivity while reducing workplace injuries."

"... Robot density by region
The European Union has a robot density of 219 units per 10,000 employees, an increase of 5.2%, with Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Slovenia in the global top ten.

North America´s robot density is 197 units per 10,000 employees – up 4,2%. The United States ranks tenth in the world among the most automated countries in the manufacturing industry.

Asia has a robot density of 182 units per 10,000 persons employed in manufacturing - an increase of 7.6%. The economies of Korea, Singapore, mainland China and Japan are among the top ten most automated countries. ..."
