U.S. producers have more and more adopted automation, says the IFR.
Complete installations of business robots rose by 12% and reached 44,303 items in 2023, as U.S. producers invested closely in additional automation, reported the Worldwide Federation of Robotics, or IFR, at present. The automotive business continues to be the No. 1 adopter, adopted by {the electrical} and electronics sector, in accordance with the IFR’s preliminary outcomes.
“America has one of the superior manufacturing industries worldwide,” acknowledged Marina Invoice, president of the IFR. “The primary IFR outlook on preliminary outcomes exhibits once more robust robotics demand throughout all main segments of U.S. manufacturing in 2023.”
U.S. automakers nonetheless lead
Gross sales within the automotive section rose by 1%, with a document 14,678 robots put in in 2023, mentioned the IFR. This comes after installations in 2022 skyrocketed by 47%, reaching 14,472 items, famous the Frankfurt, Germany-based group.
The market share of automobile and element makers reached 33% of all industrial robotic installations within the U.S. in 2023. The U.S. has the second-largest manufacturing quantity of vehicles and light-weight automobiles worldwide after China.
“Automotive producers presently spend money on robotics primarily to drive the electrical car transition and reply to labor shortages,” Invoice mentioned.
Electrical and electronics business adopts robots
Installations within the electrical and electronics business rose by 37% to five,120 items in 2023, mentioned the IFR. This quantity nearly reached the document pre-pandemic degree of 5,284 items, seen in 2018.
The most recent consequence represents a market share of 12% of all industrial robots put in within the U.S. manufacturing business. International installations reached document numbers in 2022, the IFR famous.
It attributed latest demand for industrial robots amongst U.S. electronics makers by efforts to strengthen home provide chains and initiatives towards clean-energy transitions.
Study from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and lots of extra.
Demand robust amongst different U.S. producers
Set up counts in different U.S. industries exceeding the three,000-unit mark included metallic and equipment (4,123 items, +6%) and plastic and chemical merchandise (3,213 items, +5%).
They characterize a market share of 9% and seven% of U.S. producer robotic installations in 2023, respectively, mentioned the IFR.
Canada and Mexico additionally climb
Robotic set up in Canada reached 4,616 items – up 43%. The automotive business accounts for 55% of the nation´s robotic installations. Gross sales to the automotive sector rose by 99% with 2,549 items put in in 2023. That is an all-time excessive.
Robotic installations in Mexico’s manufacturing business remained nearly unchanged, with 5,868 items in 2023. The nation´s predominant adopter was the automotive business, which accounted for 69% of the robotic installations in 2023
The IFR mentioned gross sales in Mexico reached 4,068 items (-0%) in 2023 – the third greatest consequence for the reason that peak degree of 4,805 items, in 2017.
IFR to launch extra outcomes
The IFR plans to put up the presentation on preliminary figures held by Invoice in the course of the IFR Government Roundtable on Could 8. The federation mentioned it can launch last outcomes of the most recent World Robotics knowledge on Sept. 24.
The group may also be current at Sales space 2790 at Automate in Chicago subsequent week.
