The Association for Advancing Automation, or A3, released its quarterly and end-of-year report on robot orders in North America for 2023. It found that sales were down by 30% but noted that 2021 and 2022 were record-setting years.
While North American companies ordered 31,159 robots in 2023, compared with 44,196 in 2022 and 39,708 in 2021, A3 said it expects activity to pick up later this year and into 2025. The Ann Arbor, Mich.-based association added that it expects both automotive manufacturers and non-automotive sectors to resume ordering more robots in the coming year.
The post Automotive industry likely to continue leading robotics growth, says A3 appeared first on The Robot Report.
