Robotics has successfully taken over the global tech market by storm with automation, artificial intelligence, and RPA. Yes, there is already an AI race at an international level! Now there is a robot race where different countries compete with each other with government funds and tech companies worth millions of dollars. The main aim is to be at the top of the world to let people and industries complete their work efficiently and effectively in this fast-paced world. There are different kinds and shapes of robots in different countries that are getting deployed in multiple industries across the world. Let’s explore the top five automated countries participating in the robot race.
Singapore
Singapore is the country with the highest robot density by far with 918 units per 10,000 employees in 2019. The electronics industry, especially semiconductors and computer peripherals, is the primary customer of industrial robots in Singapore with shares of 75% of the total operational stock.
South Korea
Second is one of the fastest developing countries in terms of tech “South Korea”. Its density is 868 units per 10,000 employees in 2019. Korea is a market leader in LCD and memory chip manufacturing with companies such as Samsung and LG on top and also a major production site for motor vehicles and the manufacturing of batteries for electric cars.
Japan
Robots and Japan are inseparable. The country has 364 robots per 10,000 employees. Japan is the world´s predominant robot manufacturing country – where even robots assemble robots: 47% of the global robot production is made in Nippon.
Germany
Fourth on the list is Germany, it is by far the largest robot market in Europe with 38% of Europe’s industrial robots operating in factories here. Robot density in the German automotive industry is among the highest in the world. Employment in this sector rose continuously from 720,000 people in 2010 to almost 850,000 people in 2019.
USA
Robot density in the United States increased to 228 robots. In 2019, the US car market was again the second largest car market in the world, following China, with the second largest production volume of cars and light vehicles. Both USA and China are considered highly competitive markets for car manufacturers worldwide.
