Robotics in the automotive industry revenue by country

The automotive robotics market is the largest market for industrial robotics due to the degree of complexity and individualization in car production. Sales value of new robot installations in this sector peaked in 2018 when industrial robots worth some 4.7 billion U.S. dollars were installed worldwide. China accounted for some 33 percent of the global sales value, making it the global leader in sales of industrial robots in the automotive industry.
The global sales value dropped to some 3.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2019 and is projected to stagnate at least until 2022. Germany, South Korea, and the United States will even see a decrease in sales value between 2019 and 2022.
