Robots are taking over European automotive factories

The automotive industry on the Old Continent is experiencing a large-scale technological transformation related to the introduction of robotic systems. The statistics for 2024 demonstrate an impressive trend - 23,000 new industrial robots have been installed, which represents the second-highest indicator for the last five years.

Experts from the International Robotics Federation (IFR) emphasize that this volume constitutes approximately one-third of the total robotization investments on the European continent. In parallel, the North American automotive sector has implemented 19,200 robotic systems during the same period.

The federation's leadership interprets these data as a clear signal of strategic change. European automotive manufacturers are deliberately modernizing their production capacities, with their main goal being cost optimization and overall production efficiency improvement.
