In India, sales of industrial robots reached a new record of 9,120 units installed. This marks a 7% increase compared to the previous year. India is now the sixth-largest installer worldwide, behind Germany, Korea, the USA, Japan and China. These are findings of the report World Robotics 2025, presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

“India is currently the fastest growing economy in the world,” says Takayuki Ito, President of the International Federation of Robotics.“Robot adoption has skyrocketed over the past two years, mainly driven by the automotive industry.”

Automotive

Automation in the automotive industry has reached an all-time high for the second consecutive year. Robot installations surged by 15% to 4,070 units in 2024. Parts suppliers continued to invest heavily, with 2,100 units installed – a 40% increase. Meanwhile, car manufacturers installed slightly fewer robots, with 1,980 units and a 3% decrease. The segment accounts for a market share of 45%. The general industry in India is led by plastic and chemical products with 600 installations, up 33%. Robot adoption in the metal industry grew by 30% to 420 units in 2024.

India's automation growth

India's stock of industrial robots reached 52,570 units in 2024, placing it 10th worldwide. However, the five most automated countries have an operational stock ranging from about 300,000 to two million industrial robots. This demonstrates India's enormous growth potential.
