China Now Deploys 59% of the World’s Industrial Robots
China has emerged as the dominant force in industrial automation, accounting for 59% of the world’s industrial robot deployments. The figure reflects the country’s rapid investment in smart factories, advanced manufacturing, and productivity-enhancing technologies. As Chinese manufacturers accelerate automation across sectors such as automotive, electronics, and machinery, the shift is strengthening production capacity, reshaping global supply chains, and increasing competitive pressure on economies seeking to expand their own robotics and manufacturing capabilities in coming years.
