The automotive industry in the U.S. saw a 10.7% increase in robot installations in 2024, reaching 13,700 units.
Despite the rise in robot installations, the majority of robots used in the U.S. automotive industry are imported from countries such as Japan, China, Germany, and South Korea.
China, with its national robotics strategy, has been a strong player in automation, seeing significant growth in robot installations in its manufacturing industry.
Apart from automotive, other industries like food, consumer goods, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical are also experiencing notable growth in robotics implementation in the U.S.
