U.S. robotics industry saw double-digit growth in 2025, says IFR

The IFR said robust growth in the food industry and other non-manufacturing sectors drove this recovery in the U.S. robotics industry. The post U.S. robotics industry saw double-digit growth in 2025, says IFR appeared first on The Robot Report .

Why this matters
Why now

The IFR's official announcement confirms strong recovery and diversification trends in the U.S. robotics industry shortly after the reported growth period.

Why it’s important

This data indicates a significant expansion of robotics beyond traditional manufacturing, particularly into the food industry, highlighting new growth vectors and market opportunities.

What changes

The perceived dependency of robotics growth on heavy manufacturing is reduced, with non-manufacturing sectors becoming key drivers of industry expansion.

Winners
  • · U.S. robotics manufacturers
  • · Food processing industry
  • · Automation technology providers
  • · Service robotics companies
Losers
  • · manual labor in specific non-manufacturing sectors
  • · companies slow to adopt automation
Second-order effects
Direct

Increased investment and innovation in robotics tailored for non-manufacturing applications will occur.

Second

This commercial success could accelerate the development and adoption of more versatile and adaptive robotic systems for broader service sector use.

Third

Long-term, this diversified growth might lead to a re-evaluation of labor market dynamics and job creation strategies in formerly human-centric service industries.
