AI Expected to Boost Industrial Robotics Growth, Manufacturers May Benefit Less
Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to enhance the growth of industrial robotics by making automation more economical, especially for processes with frequent changes or complex programming. Global industrial robot installations rose 11% to 603,000 units in 2025, supported by labor shortages and productivity demands. However, manufacturers may benefit less than customers, as improved equipment flexibility could reduce the need for additional robots, while software providers may capture more economic value. Fully autonomous robotics remain a future prospect.
