“Whereas robotic gross sales naturally ebb and circulate, the return to extra typical robotic gross sales after the final two file years can probably be attributed to a couple apparent points: a gradual U.S. economic system, greater rates of interest, and even the over-purchasing of robots in 2022 from provide chain issues,” mentioned Jeff Burnstein, president of A3, in a launch.
“We’ve seen a slowdown within the manufacturing of digital automobiles this yr, together with fewer new distribution facilities, each probably lowering the demand for robots,” he added. “From what we’re listening to in our member surveys and at latest occasions, nonetheless, optimism is robust for progress, probably selecting up within the second half of the yr. In actual fact, we anticipate file numbers at our Automate Present in Might as extra corporations put together for brand spanking new automation tasks.”
Each automotive, non-automotive robotic orders dip
In response to A3, North American corporations bought 31,159 robots in 2023, in contrast with 44,196 ordered in 2022 and 39,708 in 2021.

Whereas every of those industries confirmed an total decline in contrast with 2022, the final three months of the yr noticed a rise of 20% in automotive –each OEM and elements — and metals, electronics, plastics, and the “all different industries” class over Q3 2023.
