China Leads Post-pandemic Recovery: IFR`s World Robotics Outlook
中國(guó)引領(lǐng)疫后復(fù)蘇：IFR世界機(jī)器人展望

The preliminary World Robotics data for China released by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) shows a sales increase of industrial robots by 19% in 2020.

國(guó)際機(jī)器人聯(lián)合會(huì)（IFR）發(fā)布的世界機(jī)器人初步數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2020年中國(guó)工業(yè)機(jī)器人的銷售額增長(zhǎng)19%。

“The outlook for the robotics industry is optimistic”, says Milton Guerry, President of the International Federation of Robotics. “In China, where the coronavirus lockdown came into force first, the robotics industry started to recover already in 2020. In total 167,000 industrial robots were shipped.”

"機(jī)器人行業(yè)前景是樂觀"，國(guó)際機(jī)器人聯(lián)合會(huì)主席Milton Guerry表示。"抗疫率先取得卓越成效的中國(guó)，機(jī)器人行業(yè)在2020年已經(jīng)開始恢復(fù)。總共出貨了16.7萬(wàn)臺(tái)工業(yè)機(jī)器人。"

Market growth in China also has a strong positive impact on foreign suppliers – up 24% or 123,000 industrial robots were shipped from abroad. Japanese suppliers have a dominant market share. Domestic suppliers delivered 44,000 units to their home market which is an increase of 8% compared to 2019.

中國(guó)市場(chǎng)的增長(zhǎng)也對(duì)外國(guó)供應(yīng)商產(chǎn)生了極大的積極影響——外資品牌工業(yè)機(jī)器人出貨12.3萬(wàn)臺(tái)，增長(zhǎng)24%，其中日本供應(yīng)商在市場(chǎng)上占主導(dǎo)地位。國(guó)產(chǎn)品牌向國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)交付了44,000臺(tái)，與2019年相比增加了8%。

Global robot installations in 2020 were down 2%, particularly under the impact of the Corona pandemic. Still the decline in sales was more moderate than expected.

2020年全球機(jī)器人安裝量下降了2%，尤其是在新冠大流行的影響下。但銷售額下降幅度還是比預(yù)期的要溫和。

OECD projects global GDP growth to be 5.5% in 2021 and 4% in 2022. Nevertheless, the situation is mixed in different countries.

經(jīng)合組織預(yù)測(cè)，2021年全球GDP增長(zhǎng)率為5.5%，2022年為4%。但各個(gè)國(guó)家的情況不盡相同。

The order intakes of the robotics industry 2021 give reason to expect strong growth in North America and Europe. Order books in the US for example are filling up fast. In Germany, the forecast for the current year shows a strong recovery and signifies a positive turning point for the industry. Even better sales figures will be achievable if the current supply bottlenecks for key components can be quickly overcome.

2021年機(jī)器人行業(yè)的訂單量使人們有理由期待北美和歐洲的強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng)。例如，美國(guó)的訂單正在迅速填滿。在德國(guó)，今年的預(yù)測(cè)顯示出強(qiáng)勁的復(fù)蘇，顯示出該行業(yè)的一個(gè)積極轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。如果能夠迅速克服目前關(guān)鍵部件的供應(yīng)瓶頸，甚至可以實(shí)現(xiàn)更好的銷售數(shù)字。

The global path to climate neutrality is generating new business. In order to achieve the ambitious climate targets, economies have started to scale renewable energies and environmental technologies to unprecedented dimensions. Robotics and automation enable companies of all sizes to produce the components needed, e.g. fuel cells for hydrogen-powered cars or batteries in the transport sector and solar panels in the energy sector. The new generation of easy-to-use robotics helps to optimize performance in the production process and move manufacturing closer to regional markets at competitive cost.

實(shí)現(xiàn)氣候中立的全球趨勢(shì)正在產(chǎn)生新的業(yè)務(wù)機(jī)會(huì)。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)雄心勃勃的氣候目標(biāo)，各經(jīng)濟(jì)體已開始將可再生能源和環(huán)保技術(shù)擴(kuò)大到前所未有的程度。機(jī)器人技術(shù)和自動(dòng)化使各種規(guī)模的公司能夠生產(chǎn)所需的部件，比如用于氫動(dòng)力汽車的燃料電池或運(yùn)輸領(lǐng)域的電池，以及能源部門的太陽(yáng)能電池板。新一代易于使用的機(jī)器人有助于優(yōu)化生產(chǎn)過(guò)程中的表現(xiàn)，并以有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的成本讓制造業(yè)更接近區(qū)域市場(chǎng)。

“Robotics have proven flexibility to quickly adapt production and respond to changes in demand as well as smaller batch sizes,” says Milton Guerry. “The benefits of increased productivity safeguards jobs by keeping companies competitive.”

"事實(shí)證明，在快速調(diào)整生產(chǎn)以應(yīng)對(duì)需求變化以及較小批量方面，機(jī)器人具有高度的靈活性，"Milton Guerry說(shuō)。"提高生產(chǎn)力的好處是通過(guò)保持公司的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力來(lái)保障就業(yè)。"
