2021 set a new record for number of robots sold in North America with 39,708 units, according the Association for Advancing Automation (A3). Those sales were valued at $2 billion.
Robot sales rose 28% from 2020 to 2021, jumping from 31,044 units in 2020. Fifty-eight percent of those orders came from outside of the automotive industry, a trend that began in 2020 when non-automotive sales surpassed automotive sales for the first time. Traditionally, automotive sales have been the backbone of the robotics industry.
