South Korea is one of the leading countries in the use of industrial robots worldwide, with the International Federation of Robotics listing it as having the world's second most automated manufacturing industry in 2019.[1] The country's robot industry has grown from ₩6.29 trillion in 2016 to ₩9.18 trillion in 2020.[2]
The South Korean government plans to nearly quadruple the country's robot market to 20 trillion won from 2021 to help ease labor shortages in South Korea, which has one of the lowest birth rates in the world.[3]
