Inflation and the tight labor market are becoming a win-win for robots (DE.2B76).
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.
According to data from the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), around 9,000 robots collectively worth approximately $544 million were sold in the United States during the first quarter, compared to more than 6,400 robots collectively worth approximately $346 million sold during the same period a year ago.
