## 1. English – Top 20 Industrial Robot Companies in the World
### 1) Method & Caveats
There is **no single official global “Top 20” list**. Different rankings use different criteria: shipments, installed base, revenue, influence, etc.
Here, I base the ranking primarily on the **2025 “Top 30 industrial robotics companies” list** (Robotics & Automation News), which combines installations, market share, and innovation.([Robotics & Automation News][1]) I then add context from market-share and industry reports (IFR and other analyses).([Voronoi][2])
So you can treat this as a **2025 snapshot** of the 20 most important industrial robot makers globally.

### 4) Big Trends & How to “Use” This Ranking
#### A. Strategic patterns
From the top 20 you can see four big structural trends:
1. **The “Big 4” still dominate**: FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, KUKA hold over half of the industrial robot market; they set standards for programming, safety, interfaces.([PatentPC][9])
2. **Rise of cobots**: Universal Robots, Doosan, Techman, and cobot lines inside ABB/FANUC/KUKA/Omron show a shift toward **human-collaborative, flexible** automation.([Statzon][6])
3. **China’s rapid growth**: Siasun, Estun and others are climbing fast, supported by domestic demand; Chinese vendors already supply over **50% of robots installed in China**.([뉴욕 포스트][8])
4. **Vertical specialization**: Sepro in plastics, OTC Daihen in welding, Stäubli in cleanroom – each dominates specific vertical niches.
#### B. Practical tips (for engineers, buyers, or students)
1. **Choosing a vendor**
* Look at your **region**: local support often matters more than small technical differences.
* Match your **process type** to the vendor’s DNA:
* Heavy welding/painting → Yaskawa, Kawasaki, Nachi, OTC, KUKA.
* Electronics/precision → Epson, Denso, Stäubli, Mitsubishi.
* SMEs starting automation → UR, Doosan, Techman.
2. **Interoperability & ecosystem**
* ABB, FANUC, Mitsubishi, Omron, Yaskawa are strong when you want **FA platform integration** (PLC + drives + robot + SCADA).
* UR, Doosan, Techman have strong **plugin ecosystems** and easy-to-use programming environments.
3. **Total cost of ownership (TCO)**
* Hardware price is only 20–40% of TCO; the rest is integration, downtime, maintenance, and re-programming.
* “Big 4” often win on **uptime, spare parts, and integrator networks** even if initial price is higher.
4. **Career / study direction**
* Learning one of the “big” robot programming environments (ABB RAPID, FANUC TP, Yaskawa INFORM, KUKA KRL, URScript) is a good investment.
* Understanding **safety standards (ISO 10218, ISO/TS 15066)** and **cobot risk assessment** is increasingly important.

## 1. English – Top 20 Industrial Robot Companies in the World
### 1) Method & Caveats
There is **no single official global “Top 20” list**. Different rankings use different criteria: shipments, installed base, revenue, influence, etc.
Here, I base the ranking primarily on the **2025 “Top 30 industrial robotics companies” list** (Robotics & Automation News), which combines installations, market share, and innovation.([Robotics & Automation News][1]) I then add context from market-share and industry reports (IFR and other analyses).([Voronoi][2])

### 4) Big Trends & How to “Use” This Ranking
#### A. Strategic patterns
From the top 20 you can see four big structural trends:
1. **The “Big 4” still dominate**: FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, KUKA hold over half of the industrial robot market; they set standards for programming, safety, interfaces.([PatentPC][9])
2. **Rise of cobots**: Universal Robots, Doosan, Techman, and cobot lines inside ABB/FANUC/KUKA/Omron show a shift toward **human-collaborative, flexible** automation.([Statzon][6])
3. **China’s rapid growth**: Siasun, Estun and others are climbing fast, supported by domestic demand; Chinese vendors already supply over **50% of robots installed in China**.([뉴욕 포스트][8])
4. **Vertical specialization**: Sepro in plastics, OTC Daihen in welding, Stäubli in cleanroom – each dominates specific vertical niches.
#### B. Practical tips (for engineers, buyers, or students)
1. **Choosing a vendor**
* Look at your **region**: local support often matters more than small technical differences.
* Match your **process type** to the vendor’s DNA:
* Heavy welding/painting → Yaskawa, Kawasaki, Nachi, OTC, KUKA.
* Electronics/precision → Epson, Denso, Stäubli, Mitsubishi.
* SMEs starting automation → UR, Doosan, Techman.
2. **Interoperability & ecosystem**
* ABB, FANUC, Mitsubishi, Omron, Yaskawa are strong when you want **FA platform integration** (PLC + drives + robot + SCADA).
* UR, Doosan, Techman have strong **plugin ecosystems** and easy-to-use programming environments.
3. **Total cost of ownership (TCO)**
* Hardware price is only 20–40% of TCO; the rest is integration, downtime, maintenance, and re-programming.
* “Big 4” often win on **uptime, spare parts, and integrator networks** even if initial price is higher.
4. **Career / study direction**
* Learning one of the “big” robot programming environments (ABB RAPID, FANUC TP, Yaskawa INFORM, KUKA KRL, URScript) is a good investment.
* Understanding **safety standards (ISO 10218, ISO/TS 15066)** and **cobot risk assessment** is increasingly important.
