Statistics, Market Analysis, Forecasts,
Case Studies and Profitability of Robot Investment
The IFR Statistical Department, which is hosted by the VDMA Robotics + Automation association publishes the study World Robotics every year. In 2009, for the first time, we will have two studies:
World Robotics 2009 Industrial Robots
World Robotics 2009 Service Robots
World Robotics 2009 Industrial Robots:
This unique publication presents comprehensive global statistics on industrial robots in uniform tables allowing consistent country comparisons. It contains detailed statistical data for some 40 countries, broken down by application areas, industrial branches, types of robots and by other technical and economic variables. Data on production, exports and imports are presented for a selection of countries. Trends in robot densities, i.e. number of robots per 10,000 persons employed in relevant sectors, are also featured.
World Robotics 2009 Service Robots:
This unique publication presents comprehensive global statistics on service robots, market analysis, case studies and international research strategies of service robots. The study is evaluated in cooperation with our partner the Fraunhofer IPA, Stuttgart, Germany.
The 2009 versions of World Robotics are available in different formats: Downloadable PDF-versions of “Industrial Robots” and “Service Robots” or “Industrial Robots” in the form of full online access to an interactive data query which allows access to all relevant data on every world location. Additionally to the downloadable PDF-version or the full online access printed versions of both studies can be ordered. Please click here to see further information on the products offered.
Besides the yearly publication of this statistical analysis of the world’s robot markets, the IFR Statistical Department also provides the robot industry with quarterly shipment statistics.
In addition, the IFR Statistical Department organizes twice-yearly worldwide conference meetings involving the major players in robot manufacturing and gives presentations about the international robotics market all over the world.
