Industrial robots on the rise

The European Union confirms its position as the second largest robot market in the world with 70,781 installed units in 2022, an increase of five percent. Germany, as a major player in the EU, stands out as one of the world's largest users of industrial robots with a market share of 36%. These figures reflect the growing importance of robot technologies in European industry.

The report's regional analysis shows that 73% of newly deployed robots in 2022 were installed in Asia, followed by 15% in Europe and 10% in the Americas. This underlines the global reach and adaptability of robot technologies in different market segments.

The development in China, by far the largest market for industrial robots, is particularly remarkable. An impressive 290,258 robots were installed there in 2022. This growth is supported by the continuous expansion of production capacities by both domestic and international robot manufacturers. Annual robot installations in China recorded an average growth of 13% from 2017 to 2022.

For companies like AROTEC, these developments present both challenges and opportunities. The increasing demand for state-of-the-art robotic systems and the need to provide innovative solutions for various industries are at the heart of our efforts.

In this dynamic environment, AROTEC strives to be at the forefront of technological development and to offer our customers customized, intelligent robotics solutions. The IFR report confirms our vision that the future of the industry is closely linked to the further development and integration of robot technologies.

Germany - The High-Tech Strategy 2025

With the introduction of the High-Tech Strategy 2025 (HTS), Germany is pursuing its fourth initiative in the field of research and innovation. The federal government has committed to providing financial support for this program every year until 2026. A central component of HTS 2025 is the "Technology for People" program. The aim of this program is to use technological progress both in society and in the world of work for the benefit of people. Research priorities include digital assistance systems such as smart glasses, collaboration between humans and robots, exoskeletons to support workers in physically strenuous activities, as well as innovative approaches to making work processes more flexible and promoting mobile working.

According to the "World Robotics" report by the International Federation of Robotics, Germany is the leading robotics market in Europe. With a robot density of 397 units per 10,000 employees, the country ranks fourth in the world.
