Chinese factories are installing robots almost as fast as the rest of the world combined. But China is still playing catchup to other industrial economies when it comes to automation.
Too many orders are in short supply. China has the largest number of industrial robots, which has increased by 13 times in ten years. After being blocked by the West for 30 years, the robot density has surpassed that of the United States for the first time.
China’s massive investment in industrial robotics has put the country in the top ranking of robot density, surpassing the United States for the first time. The number of operational industrial robots relative to the number of workers hit 322 units per 10,000 employees in the manufacturing industry. Today, China ranks in fifth place. The world´s top 5 most automated countries in manufacturing are: South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Germany and China.
“Robot density is a key indicator of automation adoption in the manufacturing industry around the world,” says Marina Bill, President of the International Federation of Robotics. “The new average of global robot density in the manufacturing industry surged to 141 robots per 10,000 employees – more than double the number six years ago. China’s rapid growth shows the power of its investment so far, but it still has much opportunity to automate.”
