ABB’s Robotics division generated $2.3 billion in revenue in 2025, according to the company’s Integrated Report 2025. The figure provides a clear indication of the scale of ABB Robotics as it prepares for its planned divestment to SoftBank. The robotics business has been reported as discontinued operations since the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting the intended sale. The division continues to operate as a standalone unit within ABB pending completion of the transaction, which is expected in 2026.
According to the report, ABB Robotics supplies industrial robots, collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robots, and related mapping and navigation solutions. Its portfolio also includes robotic systems integration, field services, spare parts, and digital services. With annual revenue of $2.3 billion, ABB Robotics ranks among the larger players in the global robotics market, serving sectors including manufacturing, logistics, and industrial automation.
Standalone reporting within ABB
Since late 2025, Robotics has operated as a standalone division within ABB. At the same time, Machine Automation — previously part of the Robotics & Discrete Automation business area — has been integrated into ABB’s Automation business area. Following the divestment, ABB will focus on three core business areas: Electrification, Motion, and Automation.
Transition phase
The planned sale to SoftBank was announced earlier. In the report, ABB states that combining Robotics with a company focused on AI and next-generation computing is expected to support future development of the robotics business. Until the transaction closes, ABB Robotics continues to report separately. The 2025 revenue figure therefore represents the most recent full-year performance of the division within ABB.
