Asia is the world's largest industrial robot market. In 2018, there was a mixed picture: Installations in China and the Republic of Korea declined, while Japan increased considerably. In total, Asia grew by 1%. Robot installations in Europe increased by 14% and reached a new peak for the sixth year in a row. In the Americas, the growth rate reached 20% more than the year before also a new record level for the sixth year in a row.
