U.S. producers have more and more adopted automation, says the IFR.
Whole installations of business robots rose by 12% and reached 44,303 models in 2023, as U.S. producers invested closely in additional automation, reported the Worldwide Federation of Robotics, or IFR, at this time. The automotive trade continues to be the No. 1 adopter, adopted by {the electrical} and electronics sector, based on the IFR’s preliminary outcomes.
“The US has one of the crucial superior manufacturing industries worldwide,” acknowledged Marina Invoice, president of the IFR. “The primary IFR outlook on preliminary outcomes exhibits once more sturdy 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 file 14,678 robots put in in 2023, stated the IFR. This comes after installations in 2022 skyrocketed by 47%, reaching 14,472 models, famous the Frankfurt, Germany-based group.
The market share of automotive 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 automobiles and lightweight automobiles worldwide after China.
“Automotive producers presently spend money on robotics primarily to drive the electrical automobile transition and reply to labor shortages,” Invoice stated.
Electrical and electronics trade adopts robots
Installations within the electrical and electronics trade rose by 37% to five,120 models in 2023, stated the IFR. This quantity virtually reached the file pre-pandemic stage of 5,284 models, seen in 2018.
The newest end result represents a market share of 12% of all industrial robots put in within the U.S. manufacturing trade. World installations reached file 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 tasks towards clean-energy transitions.
Be taught from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and lots of extra.
Demand sturdy amongst different U.S. producers
Set up counts in different U.S. industries exceeding the three,000-unit mark included steel and equipment (4,123 models, +6%) and plastic and chemical merchandise (3,213 models, +5%).
They signify a market share of 9% and seven% of U.S. producer robotic installations in 2023, respectively, stated the IFR.
Canada and Mexico additionally climb
Robotic set up in Canada reached 4,616 models – up 43%. The automotive trade accounts for 55% of the nation´s robotic installations. Gross sales to the automotive sector rose by 99% with 2,549 models put in in 2023. That is an all-time excessive.
Robotic installations in Mexico’s manufacturing trade remained virtually unchanged, with 5,868 models in 2023. The nation´s predominant adopter was the automotive trade, which accounted for 69% of the robotic installations in 2023
The IFR stated gross sales in Mexico reached 4,068 models (-0%) in 2023 – the third greatest end result for the reason that peak stage of 4,805 models, in 2017.
IFR to launch extra outcomes
The IFR plans to put up the presentation on preliminary figures held by Invoice through the IFR Government Roundtable on Might 8. The federation stated it can launch remaining outcomes of the newest World Robotics knowledge on Sept. 24.
The group will even be current at Sales space 2790 at Automate in Chicago subsequent week.
