Automating America: The New Wave of Robotics Demand

Join Morten Paulsen, Head of Industrials Research at CLSA and member of the ROBO Global Strategic Advisory Board, for an in-depth look at his latest research report on the accelerating automation of American manufacturing.

Eighteen years ago, Morten published Automating Asia, a bold call that China would become a dominant force in industrial robotics. At the time, China accounted for under 2% of global robot deployments; today, it accounts for 44%. He is now making an equally significant call for U.S. manufacturing.

SUMMARY

Topics covered will include:

  • Why he believes installed industrial robot shipments in the United States are poised to double before 2030, and why the conditions for that growth are already in place.
  • How reshoring trends, persistent labor shortages, and a new capex expansion cycle are converging to create a long-term growth theme with meaningful near-term momentum.
  • The role humanoid robots are beginning to play alongside traditional industrial automation as manufacturers confront an increasingly tight labor market.
