In 2018, the total number of robots in the Poland reached 13,600, ranking Poland as the 16th most dense robotics country in the world, as published by the International Federation of Robotics. Moreover, Poland’s potential for increased robotics growth is high. Poland has only 42 robots per 10,000 workers, leaving the country far behind other European economies (e.g., Germany has 338 robots per 10000 workers). Today, only 6% of Polish SMEs and 22% of its large companies use robots, compared to the EU where robot use is higher, at 7% and 25% respectively, according to the Polish Economic Institute analysis. Poland’s robot density is expected to increase in the coming years, as the International Federation of Robotics states. The Polish Economic Institute noted that industrial robots are used mainly in manufacturing industries (81.5%) and are most commonly used in the automotive (38.6%), chemical (18.9%) and metallurgy sectors (12.8%).
