IFR Report: Japan delivers 52 percent of global industrial robot supply
IFR報告：日本交付了全球工業機器人供應量的52％
November 27, 2017– According to a recent IFR report, Japan is the world´s predominant industrial robot manufacturer: The production capacity of the Japanese suppliers has reached 153,000 units in 2016 – the highest level ever recorded. Today, Japan´s manufacturers deliver 52 percent of the global supply. These are results published by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) ahead of the International Robot Exhibition (iREX) in Tokyo - November 29th - December 2nd 2017.
2017年11月27日——根據最近的一份IFR報告，日本是世界上最大的工業機器人制造商：日本供應商的產能在2016年達到了15.3萬臺，創歷史最高水平。如今，日本的制造商交付了全球供應量的52％。這些是國際機器人聯合會（IFR）在2017年11月29日至12月2日在東京舉辦的國際機器人展（iREX）之前發布的數據。
“Japan is a highly robotized country where even robots are assembled by robots”, said Joe Gemma, President of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “The statistics show that automation strongly boosts exports and domestic investments as well – robot sales in Japan increased by 10 percent to about 39,000 units in 2016 - reaching the highest level in the last ten years.”
“日本是一個高度機器人化的國家，甚至機器人都是由機器人組裝的。”國際機器人聯合會主席Joe Gemma表示，“統計數據顯示，自動化極大地促進了日本出口和國內投資——2016年日本的機器人銷售量增長了10％，約為3.9萬臺，是過去十年的最高水平。”
Japan exported a total of nearly 115,000 industrial robots in 2016 with a value of 309 billion yen (about US$ 2.7 billion). This is by far the highest export volume for one year. The export rate increased from 72 percent to 75 percent (2011-2016). North America, China, the Republic of Korea and Europe were target export destinations. The Japanese imports of robots were extremely low, only about 1 percent of installations. Thus, foreign robot suppliers did not achieve a high sales volume in Japan. The home market has strongly recovered since the financial crisis in 2009 and reached 39,000 units, the highest level since 2006 (37,000 units).
在2016年，日本總共出口了近11.5萬臺工業機器人，價值3090億日元（約合27億美元）。這是迄今為止最高的一年出口量。出口率從72％上升到75％（2011至2016年）。北美、中國、韓國和歐洲是目標出口地。日本的機器人進口量非常低，只有大約百分之一。因此，外國機器人供應商在日本的銷量并不高。自2009年金融危機以來，日本國內市場強勁復蘇，達3.9萬臺，為2006年以來的最高水平（3.7萬臺）。
The automotive industry is the largest destination market for industrial robots in Japan with a share of 36 percent of the total supply. Car manufacturers bought 48 percent more industrial robots than in 2015 (2016: 5,711 units). Japanese car suppliers are leading in the production of hybrid cars and will increase investments in automated driving technologies. The development of new materials which reduce weight and save energy will also foster investments in robot automation. However, the ongoing reduction of production capacities in Japan will impact domestic demand for robots. Investments abroad, on the other hand, will continue to increase. The Japanese car companies have been increasingly expanding production facilities overseas, particularly in China, as well as other Asian countries and in the United States and Mexico.
汽車行業是日本工業機器人最大的應用市場，占總供應量的36％。汽車制造商購買的工業機器人比2015年多出48％（2016年為5,711臺）。日本汽車供應商在混合動力汽車生產方面處于領先地位，并將增加對自動駕駛技術的投資。減少重量和節約能源的新材料開發也將促進對機器人自動化的投資。但是，日本產能持續減少將影響國內對機器人的需求。另一方面，海外投資將繼續增加。日本汽車公司越來越多地在海外擴大生產設施，特別是在中國以及其他亞洲國家，還有美國和墨西哥。
After the strong growth of robots in the electrical/electronics industry in 2015 (11,659 units), a decrease of 7 percent followed in 2016. However, the electrical/electronics industry has preferred to invest in production facilities abroad. Furthermore, continued investments in robots can be expected in this sector with the increasing demand for chips, displays, sensors, batteries and other technologies around electro mobility, and industry 4.0 (connected industries).
2015年電器/電子行業機器人業務增長強勁（11,659臺），但2016年下降了7％，主要是因為電器/電子行業更多投資到國外生產設施。此外，隨著芯片、顯示器、傳感器、電池和其他電動交通技術以及工業4.0（連接行業）需求的不斷增長，這一行業對機器人的持續投資預計將會出現。
The two most important customer groups of industrial robots in Japan - automotive and electrical/electronics - had jointly, a share of 64 percent of the total supply in 2016. Robot sales to both sectors increased by 8 percent in 2016. In all other branches, as a whole, the market increased by 14 percent.
日本工業機器人中最重要的兩個客戶群體——汽車和電器/電子，在2016年共占總供應量的64％。2016年，機器人在這兩個行業的銷售額增長了8％。而所有其他分行業，市場整體上漲了14%。
In Japan, the economy benefits from increased foreign demand, especially from China, the expansive monetary policy of the Bank of Japan and the weaker yen. Based on estimates provided by the Japanese Robot Association (JARA), the IFR expects an increase of around 10 percent in 2017 in domestic installations. Between 2018 and 2020 a further average annual increase of about 5 percent is likely, provided the economic recovery in Japan continues.
日本央行擴張性的貨幣政策和日元走軟使得外需增加，特別是來自中國的需求，識得經濟受益。根據日本機器人協會（JARA）提供的估計，IFR預計2017年日本國內市場增長10％左右。如果日本的經濟復蘇持續下去，2018年和2020年之間的平均年增長率可能會達到5％左右。
