In the past few years, the rise of industrial robot usage in China has been very impressive. 2022 saw China having more than half of robot installations in the world: As you can see, China had more than 7x the installation that US had. This rapid increase in robot has allowed China to reach probably top 3 in robot installation per 10000 workers. Since the installations have come recently, many new factories in China are some of the most automated factories out there.
That I don't know. As a whole, China's automation is higher than most European countries. BYD certainly leads the pack among Chinese companies, but I don't know if that means it automates more than BMW for example. I do think that since many of its factories are quite new, those are likely to be more automated than ICE factories that were built 20 years ago.
Thanks for the share ! As a matter of comparison: how automated are competition's factory in China and in Europe for example?
