## How to read it

- Year-on-year change in new installations, 2023 to 2024, for the 10 largest markets in 2024\. The data file rounds growth to whole percentages.
- A large percentage change can come from a small base: Taiwan installed 5,800 robots in 2024, against China’s 295,000 ([country chart](https://aiadoption.org/data/industrial-robot-installations-by-country/)).
