This paper presents an analysis of the number and the distribution of industrial robots in the Republic of Croatia. Also, the actual state of industrial robotics in the world is given, with the present and future growth trends, the distribution of robots by countries and manufacturing sectors. The number of robots in Croatia was obtained on the basis of a survey questionnaire sent to 1,500 Croatian companies. Regarding the question of robot ownership, 72 companies answered positively, resulting in a total of 326 active industrial robots in 2017. According to the Croatian Chamber of Economy estimates, the Croatian economy should have at least 2,000 installed robots. The paper gives a prediction for the growth trend in order to achieve 2,000 robots in a reasonable time period (by 2026). For that case, an exponential growth rate of 25.4% is required. Based on the current state of the Croatian economy, such an exponential growth is a huge challenge for the near future. The paper gives a brief critical review of the current state of industrial robotics in Croatia and provides guidelines for stimulating the application of industrial robots in the near future.
