We are in the last throes of preparations for the automatica fair, which takes place in Munich from 24 to 27 June 2025. We have organized IFR meetings, booth, network events and the IFR Executive Roundtable.
Investment in automating the car industry in Europe remains high. The total number of industrial robots installed reached 23,000 in 2024, which is the second-best result in five years. These are preliminary results, presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
Automakers in the United States have invested in more automation: total installations of industrial robots in the car industry increased by 10.7%, reaching 13,700 units in 2024. These are preliminary results, presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
The session will start on 25 June with the presentation of the latest preliminary statistics on the global robotics market and the top trends in robotics in 2025. This is followed by a panel of executives from the robotics industry, policymakers and end users that will address how Europe is leveraging the potential of robotics
