These sites will become key technological hubs for the development of domestic robotics, localization of production and the introduction of automated solutions into the industry.

The first such center was created in Tatarstan through a subsidy to Innopolis University. According to the results of the competition, which received over a dozen applications from different regions, the second center in Perm was also selected. The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia Anton Alikhanov expressed hope for the high interest of other subjects of the federation in subsequent selections.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has begun to create centers for the development of industrial robots

The statement was made at a meeting on the development of industrial robotics in Russia, which was held at the Innovation Center Skolkovo"" chaired by Deputy Head Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation Maxim Oreshkin. The event was also attended by the head Ministry of Education and Science of Russia. Valery Falkov

During the meeting, Minister Anton Alikhanov noted a significant increase in the production of industrial robots in Russia: in 2024, enterprises produced 2.5 times more industrial robots than in 2023. "In the federal project, we have provided for a wide list of state support measures. They are aimed at stimulating demand R&D and conducting the development of new samples of industrial robotics. So that enterprises can easily navigate the methodology of almost two dozen mechanisms that will work in the near future, "the head of the department emphasized.

The centers for the development of robotics will be created not only to develop new solutions for automation of processes and ultra-accurate prototyping, but also to train personnel for the robotic industry. This will make it possible to form a comprehensive infrastructure that provides a full cycle from development to the introduction of robotic solutions into the industry.^[14]

Rosstat named 5 main problems of the Russian market for industrial robots

At the end of 2024, the number of industrial robots in Russia reached 20.8 thousand units. This is 62% more compared to the previous year, when the figure was 12.8 thousand units. Such data are reflected in the Kept study, the results of which were published on December 9, 2025.

According to Rosstat and, the Ministry of Industry and Trade level of robotization in Russia in 2023 reached 29 robots per 10 thousand workers in the manufacturing industry. This corresponds to 42nd place in the global ranking of robotization density according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). The first position in this list is held, South Korea where the figure reaches 1220 robots per 10 thousand workers in industry.

Rosstat identified five key problems in the market of industrial robots in Russia

In May 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the Decree "On National Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2030 and for the Future until 2036," according to which Russia's entry into the number of 25 leading countries of the world in terms of robotization density by 2030 is an important priority for the development of industry. The Kept report said that the pace of robotization in Russia is at a high level: this indicates a significant potential for the industry.

At the same time, Rosstat highlights a number of problems that impede the development of the Russian market for industrial robots. The surveyed organizations indicated the following factors:

• No need for use for the current activities of the organization - 86% of respondents;
• Lack of own funds - 31%;
• Lack of qualified specialists - 28%;
• Lack of financial support from the state - 26%;
• Absence of financial and economic activities - 23%;
• Other reasons - 19%.

The share of organizations planning to use industrial robots is 7.6% of those who have not yet used them in their activities. In addition, a significant correlation was revealed between the current fleet of industrial robots and the number of organizations preparing implementation: where projects in the field of robotization are already being implemented, further introduction of machines is more often planned. This, according to the authors of the study, indicates an "ecosystem effect of a network of suppliers and competencies."

Experts have identified two scenarios for changing the density of robotization in Russia until 2030 - optimistic and conservative. In the first case, by 2030, the value can reach 185 robots per 10 thousand workers, which will allow the Russian Federation to enter the Top 25 countries in this indicator. The key driver in this scenario is the intensive stimulation of the industry by the state: these are actively implemented financial support measures within the framework of the federal project for consumers and manufacturers of industrial robots, technical audits of industries to determine the possibilities of robotization, as well as information support for the popularization of robotics in Russia. The abolition of mandatory localization of production and the continued import of solutions in the field of robotics also positively affect the level of robotization of production. The volume of the robot fleet by 2030, taking into account the optimistic forecast, will reach 131.8 thousand units.

In turn, the conservative scenario assumes that the density of robotization in Russia by 2030 will be 134 cars per 10 thousand workers in industry, while the fleet of robots will grow to 95.9 thousand units. Negative factors in this option were called a decrease in the procurement activity of enterprises, a decline in the productivity of the industrial sector and a decrease in investment activity against the background of tightening monetary policy.^[15]

The production of industrial robots in Russia over the year increased 2.5 times to 600 units

In 2024, the production of industrial robots in Russia reached 600 units. This is about 2.5 times more than the previous year, when about 250 similar installations were manufactured. Such data are given in the study of the Business Profile group, the results of which TAdviser got acquainted with in mid-July 2025.

Analysts note that the industry is at the stage of transformation due to the formed situation and ongoing digitalization. The domestic industry has accelerated the introduction of robotic solutions, despite sanctions, technological barriers and limited local production. In 2019-2021, the volume of production of industrial robots in Russia was estimated at dozens of units per year. Almost the entire market was dependent on imports: foreign machines accounted for 95-100% of systems. At the same time, the number of real manufacturers of industrial robots in the Russian Federation in 2021 did not exceed 10-12 companies.

The situation changed dramatically in 2022-2023 against the background of the aggravation of the geopolitical situation. State programs, sanctions pressure and the development of local integrators had a positive impact on the market. By 2023, 73 companies operating in the field of robotics operated in Russia, of which 19 produced solutions for industrial problems. Seven of them specialized in manipulators and collaborative systems.

In physical terms, we are talking about several hundred pieces a year. However, the trend is obvious: industrial robotics is leaving the stage of pilot launches and forming a stable direction within the framework of national projects, the authors of the study note.

In Russia, there is also a steady increase in the number of industrial robots commissioned. So, if in 2021-2022 the indicator remained at the level of 1500 units, then in 2023 it amounted to 1800 units, and in 2024 it reached 1950 units. According to Robotunion.ru, by the end of 2024, 14,382 industrial robots were operated in Russia - 12% more than in 2023 (12,841 units). Analysts call the emergence of competence centers - associations of universities, research institutes and business sites that develop reproducible and competitive domestic production as a significant trend in the Russian market. Separate technology parks, in particular, in Tula and Ulyanovsk, began to create full-cycle systems - from mechanics to firmware and quality control.

Until 2022, the Russian market was almost completely dependent on foreign supplies, and the main shipments fell on companies such as Kuka (), Germany (), Fanuc Japan (/), (ABB SwitzerlandSweden Japan) Yaskawa and others (,,). Imports Omron Staubli grew Comau until 2021, when they reached a peak of $43.6 million in monetary terms. After that, the procurement structure changed: the share in the total volume of China imports jumped from 11.6% to 57.6%. Suppliers from the PRC actively occupied the niches vacated after the departure of American, European and Japanese brands from Russia. The estimated volume of imports amounted to at least 1550 robots in 2023 and at least 1350 units in 2024.

The cost of one industrial robot in Russia in 2024 varied on average from 1.5 million to 5 million rubles. Among the leading domestic players are named: Promobot (specializes in service and industrial robotic manipulators), Aripix Robotics (logistics systems), Robotech (production of 4- and 6-axis industrial robotic manipulators with Russian localization of components and software), CRP Russia (a joint venture with China, focused on the production of welding robots, assembly cells, linear modules) and Rosatom^[16]

Production of industrial robots for the year increased 4.5 times to ₽7,6 billion

The production of industrial robots in Russia in 2024 increased 4.5 times compared to 2023 and reached ₽7,6 billion. This is stated in the presentation of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin got acquainted with in Moscow at the end of May 2025.

According to Interfax, in 2023 the production of industrial robotics in the country amounted to ₽1,7 billion. The domestic robotics market at the end of 2024 is estimated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade at ₽10,3 billion - a third more than in 2023.

Production of industrial robots in Russia for the year increased 4.5 times

Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov told Mikhail Mishustin that the robotics market is growing very much. The minister noted the importance of supporting both manufacturers and integrators of industrial robots in Russia.

Mikhail Mishustin said that by 2030 there should be 145 robots in the country for every 10 thousand citizens of working age. In 2024, this figure was 29 robots per 10 thousand people. Four years ago, the number of robots did not exceed 10 units per same population.

The Prime Minister called the current pace of development good, but stressed the need for acceleration to fulfill the president's task. He noted that the achievement of an indicator of 145 robots per 10 thousand people will become a serious level for the Russian economy.

Mishustin stressed that all possible measures of state support will be involved in the work to achieve the target indicators of robotization. The government is considering an integrated approach to the development of the industrial robotics industry in the country.

The Prime Minister noted that robots are actively used not only in automobile factories or in metalworking, where they have long become the norm. They can increasingly be found in the aircraft industry, shipbuilding, pharmaceuticals, food and light industries, in the oil and gas sector and even in logistics.

Robotization is gradually covering more and more sectors of the Russian economy. Mikhail Mishustin separately mentioned Yandex, which is taking serious steps in the field of robotics. This shows the importance of not only manufacturing equipment, but also modern IT developments.^[17]

Ministry of Industry and Trade: Russia has doubled the production of machine tools and robots in 2 years

The volume of production of machine tools and robots in Russia has doubled in two years. This was announced on November 20, 2024 by the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Anton Alikhanov.

According to him, in 2023, the supply of domestic machine tools in monetary terms amounted to a little less than 70 billion rubles. For some types of products, domestic enterprises approached the peak of production capabilities.

Ministry of Industry and Trade: Production of machine tools and robots in Russia has doubled in two years

Our market isn't that small. We now have a huge demand. In two years, we have doubled in the production of our own machines and robots, - notes Alikhanov.

At the same time, Alexander Lvov, deputy director of the machine tool and heavy engineering department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said that by the end of 2024 there are approximately 12.8 thousand industrial robots in Russia. This corresponds to 19 robots per 10 thousand people. In February 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his message to the Federal Assembly, pointed out the need to enter the Top 25 leading countries in the field of robotization by 2030. For this, the number of robots per 10 thousand people should reach 145.

Yevgeny Dudorov, Chairman of the Board of the Consortium of Robotics and Intelligent Control Systems, believes that the most promising industries for the introduction of robotization technologies in Russia are the railway sector, metallurgical and manufacturing industries, the oil and gas sector, as well as logistics. However, the introduction of such systems is hindered by the lack of a clearly delineated market

We have potential investors, but they do not understand where, in fact, the market is, with whom to talk, who is ready to take on key obligations, who will acquire robots and integrate them into the production cycle, "says Dudorov, quoted by CNews.[18]

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has prepared measures to support manufacturers of industrial robots

Ministry of Industry and Trade Russia developed a draft government decree on the introduction of a new type of special investment contracts (SPIC 3.0) to stimulate robotization and automation of industrial production. As it became known on August 17, 2024, the new mechanism, unofficially called RoboSPIK, is planned to be launched in early 2025.

According to Kommersant, SPIC 3.0 will become a type of existing SPIC 1.0 mechanism, but will have a number of significant differences. The key change is to reduce the minimum investment threshold in the project from ₽750 million to ₽100 million. This will make the new tool more accessible to a wide range of businesses, including small and medium-sized businesses.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has prepared measures to support manufacturers of industrial robots

For SPIC 3.0 participants, special targets will be provided, including the number of installed robots per employee, an increase in added value in production and an increase in revenue per employee. At the same time, investors will be able to take advantage of all support measures available to participants in standard SPICs, including tax breaks and the possibility of obtaining the status of a single supplier as part of public procurement.

The validity period of the new special investment contracts, as in the case of SPIC 1.0, will be up to 10 years. The Ministry of Industry and Trade expects a high demand for the new mechanism, noting the presence of interested enterprises already at the project development stage.

Experts positively assess the initiative of the department. Anna Fedyunina, Associate Professor of the Department of Applied Economics, Faculty of Economic Sciences, HSE, notes that lowering the investment threshold will make robotization and automation projects more accessible to a wide group of enterprises.

Vladimir Gamza, Chairman of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation for Financial, Industrial and Investment Policy, emphasizes the relevance of the new support measure in the context of the acute problem of personnel shortages with minimal unemployment and low labor productivity in industry. In his opinion, SPIK 3.0 can become an effective tool for rapid restructuring of production and the introduction of robotization at small and medium-sized enterprises.

It is expected that the new mechanism for supporting manufacturers of industrial robots will help stimulate the technological re-equipment of the Russian industry, increase its competitiveness and solve the problem of personnel shortages in the industry. However, experts also note the importance of developing parallel support measures aimed at the growth of startups and their transition to the category of sustainable small and medium-sized businesses.^[19]

This is stated in the review of the Institute for Statistical Research and Knowledge Economics of the Higher School of Economics, published on June 27, 2024.

It is noted that during the specified period, industrial robots and other robotic devices were produced in the Russian Federation in the amount of about 32.7 million rubles. Another 26.1 million rubles fell on industrial robotic complexes.

Industrial robot

The materials of the Higher School of Economics say that an increase in the fleet of robots in Russia will serve as an impetus for the development of its own industry of industrial machines and a multiple increase in the volume of production of domestic products. Industrial robotics is itself a high-tech industry with high multiplicative effects for the economy, which is based on a modern engineering school that integrates technological innovations in various fields of science and technology, including artificial intelligence. Thus, the development of the corresponding direction will strengthen the position of Russian machine builders in a wide range of equipment and components.

In order to expand the Russian robotics fleet, the government is implementing a number of initiatives. In particular, by 2026 it is planned to create three centers for the development of industrial robotics, which will provide services for the development, engineering, and design of solutions for various sectors of the economy. In addition, the possibility of launching preferential leasing and lending to the acquisition of industrial robots is being considered. It is expected that these and other measures "will gradually increase the attractiveness of Russian equipment in the domestic market and provide the basis for the implementation of strategic industrial development initiatives."^[20]

On May 22, 2024, it became known that the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation is developing state support measures for manufacturers of industrial robots. One of the options is the inclusion of such systems in the register of domestic radio electronics.

The Kommersant newspaper told about the initiative, referring to the statements of the head of the department for the development of modern means of production of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Ruslan Akhmedov. The inclusion of industrial robots in the register of domestic radioelectronic products will give preferences in public procurement. Another support option is the introduction of tax incentives for developers and manufacturers of component base and robotic devices - following the example of preferences for IT companies. In addition, targeted subsidies for the purchase of industrial robots by companies engaged in their implementation in production may be introduced.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation develops state support measures for producers of industrial robots

The general director of Innodraiv (produces drive components for automation and robotization) Maxim Gurbashkov notes that as of May 2024, there are no targeted support measures for robotics in Russia. And therefore, market participants are trying to receive them "for electronic products, or machine tool-building." At the same time, any of the options discussed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade will work "only in conjunction with the creation of demand for robotics from Russian enterprises, especially if the offset contract mechanism is implemented."

The editor-in-chief of the journal "World of Robotics" Victor Tolmachev says that Russia has been tasked with entering the top 25 countries - leaders of robotization by 2030 with an indicator of 100 robots per 10 thousand people.
