As shown in the graphic to the left (click for a full size version) South Korea as of 2014 had the highest density of industrial robots in the world, and by quite a margin over second place Japan. Other data from the IFR World Robotics surveys makes it clear that, on a global basis, the automotive and electronics industries drive most of the use of industrial robots. I expect that more recent data will show Korea continuing in the lead. What is even more interesting to me, for the subject of a later post, is where Korea stands in world rankings on the density of service robots.
