Five countries account for most of the industrial robotics market, with China being by far the largest market. In 2018, the sales value of the industrial robotics market in China was estimated to surpass 6.4 billion U.S. dollars, while, in Germany, the sales value was estimated to amount to over 1 billion U.S. dollars.
The global industrial robotics market is expected to shrink between 2019 and 2020, but the sales should pick up again in 2021. Compared to 2018, most countries’ industrial application of robots will either decrease or stagnate in the coming years, except for China. China’s sales value of industrial robots is projected to peak in 2022.
