Global industrial robots - companies by revenue

In the fiscal year of 2020, Mitsubishi generated almost 10 billion euros from its Industrial Automation Systems segment. Mitsubishi's revenue was more than twice as large as its closest competitor’s revenue. ABB Robotics generated some five billion euros from its Industrial Automation segment.

Industrial robotics market

Although industrial robots have made inroads into a growing number of industries such as the food and beverages industry, the highly automated electrical/electronics industry became the largest area of application for electro-mechanical machines in 2020, followed by the automotive industry. The robotics industry’s growth trend is largely driven by rising wage levels that force manufacturers worldwide to replace human labor with machines. Asia and Europe are home to the key players in the market, including ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, and the Yaskawa Electric Corporation. With relevant sales of around 1.1 billion euros, Japan-based Yaskawa was ranked among the largest manufacturers of industrial robots in 2020. The company’s heavy duty industrial robots can be used for welding, assembly, coating, materials handling, materials cutting, materials removal, and spot welding.

Automation industry

The robotics industry is a subsector of the automation industry. Similar to the market for industrial robotics, the factory automation market is forecast to grow in the following years, reaching a size of some 230 billion U.S. dollars in 2025. This industry is comprised of a variety of products and services, including relays, switches, sensors and drives, machine vision and control systems, as well as industry software development and services. Conglomerates like Siemens, Mitsubishi Electric or General Electric are the major vendors of industrial automation and industry software.
