Inflation and the tight labor market are becoming a win-win for robots. <\/p>\n
Orders for workplace robots in the United States surged 40% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2022 as companies are leveraging automation to combat ongoing labor shortages and cut costs as inflation continues to hover near a 40-year-high.<\/p>\n
According to data from the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), around 9,000 robots collectively worth approximately $ 544,000 were sold in the United States during the first quarter, compared to more than 6,400 robots collectively worth approximately $ 346,000 sold during the same period a year ago. <\/p>\n
Across North America, over 11,500 robots collectively worth approximately $ 646 million were sold in the three-month period from January through March, the most ever purchased in a single quarter. The North America figures represent growth of 28% and 43% respectively over the first quarter of 2021 and 7% and 25% respectively over the fourth quarter of 2021, the previous best quarter. <\/p>\n

Unit sales to automotive original equipment manufacturers grew 15% year-over-year while orders from automotive component companies climbed 22% year-over-year. <\/p>\n
