Data from A3 Robotics Statistics — The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) has unveiled the latest statistics on the robotics market in North America for 2024. These are showcasing a stable and resilient sector amid varying industry dynamics.
Modest Increase of Robot Sales in North America
Despite the broader economic challenges, robot sales in North America experienced a modest increase of 0.5% in units compared to the previous year. This growth, while moderate, underscores the enduring relevance and demand for robotic solutions across diverse sectors.
High Demand for Robotics in the Food & Consumer Goods Sectors
A notable highlight from A3’s report is the surge in the food and consumer goods sectors. These industries witnessed a substantial 65% increase in robot sales from 2023, signaling a robust appetite for automation to enhance efficiency and productivity. The demand for robotic systems in these sectors is closely aligned with NūMove’s experience. We also observed a high demand for palletizing and mixed palletizing systems among food and beverage manufacturers and distributors. This increasing demand contributed significantly to NūMove’s 59% growth in annual sales, as previously highlighted.
The statistics presented by A3 affirm the ongoing importance of robotics in driving innovation and operational efficiency across various industries. As companies continue to seek advanced automation solutions, the robotics market is poised for further development and expansion in the coming years.
