2. Germany
Score – 17
The largest market for industrial robots in Europe is Germany, a country that ranks second on our list of countries that produce the most robots in the world. It is a country that also ranks second at a global level when it comes to exports of such machines. In fact, the exports were valued at $590.9 million in 2015 or 14.2% out of the overall industrial robots exports.
The IFR also writes in a report that there are 261 industrial robots for every 10,000 people working in manufacturing in Germany, which is quite a high number. Back in 2012, Merrill Lynch put the number of robots at close to 162,000 in Germany, a number that has obviously grown quite a bit since then.
