The fleet of industrial robots in Russia has grown from 12.8 thousand units in 2023 to 32–34 thousand in 2025, according to a study by the Rosel holding. The density of robotization in the manufacturing industry increased from 29 to 42 machines per 10 thousand workers. Over the same period, the output of domestic robotics grew 3.3 times – from 6.2 billion to 20.8 billion rubles.
At the same time, Chinese suppliers now form the basis of imports: the share of foreign technology in the market reaches 77–83%. After 2022, enterprises reoriented from European and Japanese manufacturers to Chinese counterparts. Among Russian players, Promobot, Arcodim, Eidos Robototekhnika, Robopro, and others stand out – most of them increased their revenue by 40–66% in 2025.
However, the industry faces systemic barriers. Key components – microelectronics, precision units, optics, and software – remain critically dependent on imports. In addition, there are no unified compatibility standards, and the payback period for robotic projects reaches 2.5–6 years with high credit rates. The shortage of automation engineers (43% of companies), designers (41%), and programmers (31%) also hinders implementation.
By 2030, the authorities plan to increase the fleet of industrial robots to 80 thousand and enter the top 25 countries in terms of robotization density. For these purposes, 10 billion rubles are allocated in 2026, 11 billion in 2027, and 23 billion in 2028.
