Growth rates differ more between regions than between years.
What to compare
| Measure | Use |
|---|---|
| Installations | Absolute growth in new robots |
| Installed base | Service and spares opportunity |
| Average robot size | Payload and application mix |
| Local production | Import dependence |
| Wage levels | Underlying automation driver |
How to read it
- Small bases produce impressive percentages that mean little in absolute terms.
- Policy incentives can create short-term spikes.
- Service demand follows the installed base, not the annual sales figure.
