Robotics continues to pervade more and more industries across the European region. Such strong growth in robotics adoption in the European continent takes the sale of industrial robots further to new heights.
FREMONT, CA: Last year, the sale of industrial robots was at its peak, reaching about 3, 84,000. Europe had recorded strong growth in the sale of industrial robots, which is expected to continue into 2019 as well. There was an increase of 7 percent in the sale of industrial robots in the continent.

Sales of industrial-purpose robots in Germany, which is the fifth biggest robotics industry increased by about 30% in 2018. The country is focused on by industry observers in the robotics sector. The German automotive sector has undergone significant changes as a potential hub for robotics.
Further, Europe is the region having the most robot density. The region continues to have an average of about 106 units, as of 2018. As per the International Federation of Robotics, robot density refers to the number of robots per 10,000 people in a particular industry.

As robots continue to become cheaper and increasingly available, the increase in robotics density is less surprising. Manufacturing has particularly benefitted from advanced robots, the automation of production and even in cutting down on probable human errors. Germany is currently among the top five hubs for industrial robots. IFR also predicts that the growth in terms of industrial robotics in Germany is likely to continue in the next few years as well.
A recent report by Oxford Economics implies that more than 20 million people associated with the manufacturing industry may end up losing their jobs as a response to robotics. The number would refer to more than 8.5 percent of the worldwide manufacturing process. The European manufacturing industry will be a significant contributor to this. Germany also features among the five most promising industrial robotics hubs besides Japan, Republic of Korea, China, and the United States.
