IFR figures for new installations, the installed base and regional split.
Headline numbers
| Metric | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| New installations 2024 | 542,000 units | IFR industrial robot statistics |
| Installed base 2024 | 4.664 million units | Robots in operation |
| Asia share of installations | 74% | Europe 16%, Americas 9% |
How to use these figures
The installed base shows industrial automation is still an expanding market rather than a legacy sector being replaced by humanoids. For buyers, the scale also indicates spare part availability and a healthy second-hand market.
Note on scope
IFR industrial robot data is industry-wide; its service robot data comes from a supplier sample. The two should not be added together.
