A recent survey by the International Federation of Robotics found that over 10% of South Korea's workforce is now comprised of robots. The country leads globally in robot density, with 1,012 robots for every 10,000 employees, reflecting a 5% annual increase in adoption since 2018. As robotic automation continues to grow, it significantly outpaces other countries such as Singapore and China, which have 770 and 470 robots per 10,000 employees, respectively. This trend indicates a broader global shift towards increased automation in manufacturing and other sectors.
