What It Shows
China installed almost ten times as many industrial robots as Japan in 2025, according to the International Federation of Robotics. The comparison shows the size of its annual factory automation rollout.
What It Does Not Show
These are new industrial robot installations, not humanoid sales, the total installed stock or robots per worker. Country totals do not adjust for the size of manufacturing. Values retain the precision of the source; China and South Korea are reported as rounded totals.
