The IFR World Robotics 2025 report counts 542,000 industrial robots installed in 2024, twice as many as ten years earlier, for a global fleet of 4.66 million units. China accounts for 54% of installations.

### What changes Published on September 25, 2025, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) World Robotics 2025 report puts the number of industrial robots installed worldwide in 2024 at 542,000. That is more than double the figure of ten years earlier and the second-highest total ever, 2% below the 2022 record. Installations topped 500,000 units for the fourth year in a row. ### Specifications - Operational stock: 4.664 million industrial robots, up 9%. - Split: Asia 74%, Europe 16%, Americas 9% of new installations. - China: 295,000 units, 54% of the global total and a record; Chinese manufacturers hold 57% of the market there, up from about 28% ten years ago. - Japan: 44,500 (-4%); South Korea: 30,600 (-3%); India: 9,100 (+7%). - Europe: 85,000 (-8%), including nearly 27,000 in Germany; Americas: 50,100 (-10%), including 34,200 in the US. - Forecast: 575,000 installations in 2025 and more than 700,000 by 2028. ### Why it matters These figures confirm the shift of industrial robotics' center of gravity to China, now the largest market and majority-supplied by domestic makers. ### Key takeaways A market stable at a high level, driven by Asia, while Europe and the Americas declined in 2024.
