…the world, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Japan, South Korea, China, and Singapore are some of the biggest robotics exporters and consumers. The IFR found that Asia has the highest density of robots in the manufacturing industry. Robotics clusters faciliate networking To facilitate innovation and networking, organizations have developed to help bolster their local robotics clusters. They serve their communities as a space for research and development, networking for investment, and recruitment. Like a chamber of commerce or a typical business association, many of these organizations were created to drive investment in regional talent pools and to…

…Marina Bill, president of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in a statement. The county has been the world’s largest industrial robot market since at least 2013. Chinese government bullish on automation China’s aging workforce has led to a shortage of employees and has helped drive robotic adoption, the federation has found. Government officials in the country have announced plans to expand the country’s use of robots even further in the coming years. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology noted in its latest five-year report that it is aiming for the country to be a global leader in robotic…

…2022. Based on data from the International Robotics Federation (IFR), the operational stock of industrial robots has tripled over the past decade, with almost four million robots in use across various industries by the end of 2022. According to the IFR, Asia leads the way in the shift to automated processes, with China in particular installing industrial robots at breakneck speed. In 2022, the country accounted for more than 50 percent of newly-installed industrial robots worldwide, quickly catching up with industry leaders South Korea and Japan, who had the highest density of robots installed per 10,000 workers in the manufacturing…

…and Sweden, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “Robot density is the barometer to track the degree of automation adoption in the manufacturing industry around the world,” stated Milton Guerry, president of the IFR. China leads Asian robotics usage The development of robot density in China is the most dynamic worldwide, said the IFR. Due to the significant growth of robot installations, the density rose from 49 units in 2015 to 246 units per 10,000 workers in 2020. Today, China’s robot density ranks ninth globally, compared with 25th just five years ago. Asia is also the home of…
