Robot density: IFR World Robotics 2024 (via Our World in Data), refreshed automatically. Supercomputer count: TOP500 list, June 2026, refreshed automatically โ€” a count of 0 means no system on the current list. AV-fleet figures are modeled estimates pending a live feed.

Spain Automation Analysis

Spain's industrial robot density reached 183 robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers in 2024, up from 174 in 2023 โ€” a 5.2% year-over-year increase. That places it #21 of 53 countries we track. Both figures come directly from IFR World Robotics via Our World in Data.

Growth of this kind typically reflects capital investment in automated production lines rather than a shrinking manufacturing workforce โ€” density rises when robot installations outpace employment. Read it alongside the live deployment signals below, which capture the specific installations and contracts driving the trend. On high-performance computing, Spain has 3 systems on the current TOP500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers.

Note: the autonomous-vehicle fleet figure shown above is a modeled estimate โ€” no authority publishes verified per-country AV fleet counts โ€” and is excluded from the Automation Score, which uses only measured robot density and live signal activity.
