IFR Report: Robot investment reaches 16.5 billion USD record in 2018
IFR報告：全球機器人投資達創紀錄的165億美元
September 18, 2019 – The World Robotics report presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) shows an annual global sales value of 16.5 billion USD in 2018 – a new record. 422,000 units were shipped globally in 2018 - an increase of 6 percent compared to the previous year. IFR forecasts shipments in 2019 will recede from the record level in 2018, but expects an average growth of 12 percent per year from 2020 to 2022.
2019年9月18日——國際機器人聯合會（IFR）發布的《世界機器人報告》顯示，全球機器人年銷售額達165億美元，再創歷史新高。2018年全球裝機量為422,000臺，比上年增長6%。IFR預測2019年的出貨量將較2018年有所回落，但從2020年到2022年，預計平均每年增長率可保持在12%。
Asia is the world's largest industrial robot market. In 2018, there was a mixed picture for the three largest Asian markets: Installations in China and the Republic of Korea declined, while Japan increased considerably. In total, Asia grew by 1%. Robot installations in the second largest market, Europe, increased by 14% and reached a new peak for the sixth year in a row. In the Americas, the growth rate reached 20% more than the year before which also marks a new record level for the sixth year in a row.
亞洲是世界上最大的工業機器人市場。在2018年，亞洲三大市場可謂喜憂參半：中國和韓國的裝機量下降，而日本大幅增長。總體上看，亞洲市場增長了1%。機器人裝機量第二大市場的歐洲連續第六年遞增，同比去年增長了14%，創歷史新高。實現了裝機量連續六年遞增的還有美洲市場，2018年的增長率為20%，也取得歷史新高。
Top five markets in the world
世界前五大市場
Five major industrial robot markets represent 74 percent of global installations in 2018: China, Japan, Republic of Korea, the United States and Germany.
2018年前五大工業機器人市場占全球裝機量的74%，這五大市場為中國、日本、韓國、美國和德國。
China remains the world´s largest industrial robot market with a share of 36% of total installations. In 2018, about 154,000 units were installed. This is 1% less compared to the previous year but more than the number of robots installed in Europe and the Americas together. The value of installations reached 5.4 billion USD – 21% higher than in 2017.
中國仍然是世界上最大的工業機器人市場，占全球市場裝機量的36%。2018年，裝機量約154,000臺，雖然較2017年下降了1%，但依然超過歐洲和美洲裝機量的總和。2018年中國市場機器人裝機量總價值達到54億美元，比2017年增長了21%。
Chinese robot suppliers increased their share of total installations on the domestic market by 5 percentage points (2018: 27% vs. 2017: 22%). This result is in line with China´s policy to promote domestic manufacturers. Installations of foreign robot suppliers on the other hand (including units produced in China by non-Chinese suppliers) decreased by 7% to about 113,000 units (2017: about 122,000 units). This reduction is also caused by a weakening automobile industry.
中國本土機器人在國內市場的總裝機量增加了5%（2018年為27%，2017年為22%），這是中國鼓勵自主品牌機器人政策帶來的效果。另一方面，外資品牌的裝機量（包括非中國供應商在中國生產的產品）下降了7%，約為113,000臺（2017年約122,000臺），這主要是由于汽車行業不景氣導致的。
Japan´s robot sales increased by 21% to about 55,000 units, representing the highest value ever for the country. The average annual growth rate of 17% since 2013 is remarkable for a market with an already highly automated industrial production. Japan is the world´s number one industrial robot manufacturer and delivered 52% of the global supply in 2018.
日本的機器人銷量增長了21%，達到55,000臺左右，是歷年來的最高值。對于日本這樣一個已經具有高度自動化工業生產的市場來說，自2013年以來創造了17%的年均增長率，這頗為令人矚目。日本是世界第一大工業機器人制造商，2018年占全球出貨量的52%。
Robot installations in the United States increased for the eighth year in a row to a new peak in 2018 and reached about 40,300 units. This is 22% higher than in 2017. Since 2010, the driver of the growth in all manufacturing industries in the U.S. has been the ongoing trend to automate production in order to strengthen the U.S. industries in both domestic and global markets. Regarding annual installations, the country has taken third position from the Republic of Korea.
美國的機器人裝機量連續八年增長，在2018年創造新的紀錄，達40,300臺，較2017年增長22%。從2010年以來，自動化生產的持續趨勢驅動著美國所有制造業的增長，來穩固美國工業在國內和全球市場。就年裝機量而言，美國取代韓國成為了全球第三大市場。
The annual robot installations in the Republic of Korea declined by 5% – about 38,000 units have been sold in 2018. The robot market strongly depends on the electronics industry that had a tough year. Nevertheless, installations have increased by 12% on average per year since 2013.
韓國的年機器人裝機量下降了5%——2018年約售出38,000臺。韓國機器人市場在很大程度上依賴于在2018年經歷了較為艱難的電子行業。不過，韓國自2013年起的裝機量年均增速仍保持了12%的水平。
Germany is the fifth largest robot market in the world and number one in Europe, followed by Italy and France. In 2018, the number of robots sold increased by 26% to almost 27,000 units – an all-time record. Installations are mainly driven by the automotive industry.
德國是世界第五大機器人市場，在歐洲排名第一，其次是意大利和法國。2018年，德國機器人銷量增長26%，接近27,000臺。
Robot use by industry worldwide
機器人在全球的行業應用
The automotive industry remains the largest adopter of robots globally with a share of almost 30%of the total supply (2018). After a very strong year 2017 that saw a 21% increase of installations, this level was maintained and slightly increased by 2% in 2018. Investments in new car production capacities and in modernization have driven the demand for robots. Using new materials, developing energy efficient drive systems and high competition in all major car markets pushed for investments. 79% of industrial robot installations took place in 5 key markets: China (39,351 units), Japan (17,346 units), Germany (15,673 units), the United States (15,246 units) and the Republic of Korea (11,034 units). Interestingly, India, the world’s fourth largest vehicle producer by OICA´s production statistics, had just about 2,100 industrial robots installed in its automotive industry.
汽車行業仍然是全球最大的機器人應用行業，其份額幾乎為總供應量的30%（2018年）。在經歷了2017年汽車行業21%新增裝機量的強勁增長后，汽車行業的機器人裝機量一直保持在這一水平并在2018年略增加了2%。汽車新產能的投資和和現代化進程推動了汽車產業對機器人的需求。新材料的使用，節能驅動系統的開發，主要汽車市場間的激烈競爭推動了其對機器人對投資。汽車行業中79%的工業機器人裝機量分布在5個重點市場：中國（39,351臺）、日本（17,346臺）、德國（15,673臺）、美國（15,246臺）和韓國（11,034臺）。有趣的是，根據OICA的生產數據，作為世界第四大汽車生產國的印度，2018年在汽車行業的裝機量僅為2,100臺。
The electrical/electronics industry was about to replace the automotive industry as the most important customer for industrial robots in 2017. However, in 2018, global demand for electronic devices and components substantially decreased. This customer industry is probably the one most affected by the US-China trade crisis as Asian countries are leaders in manufacturing electronic products and components. Robot installations in this industry declined by 14% from their peak level of about 122,000 units in 2017 to 105,000 units in 2018. 79% of the total installations in the electrical/electronics industry were installed in three countries with major production sites: China (43%), Republic of Korea (19%), Japan (17%). Vietnam saw a one-off boost of installations in 2017 driven by a few major projects (7,080 units), but dropped back in 2018 (689 units).
電氣/電子行業在2017年幾乎要取代汽車行業成為工業機器人最主要的應用行業。然而，在2018年，全球對電子設備和組件的需求持續減少。這個用戶行業可能是受美中貿易摩擦影響最大的行業，因為亞洲是電子產品和組件的重要生產地，因此機器人在這個行業的裝機量下降了14%。電氣/電子行業機器人裝機量最高在2017年曾達到122,000臺，2018年降至105,000臺。在電氣/電子行業的機器人裝機量中的79%主要來自三個國家：中國（43%）、韓國（19%）和日本（17%）。越南2017年在幾個主要項目的推動下安裝量增加到7,080臺，但在2018年下跌至689臺。
The metal and machinery industry established itself as the third largest customer industry.
金屬和機械工業是機器人的第三大用戶行業。
Installations accounted for 10% of total demand in 2018. Both producers of metal products (without automotive parts) and producers of industrial machinery, have bought substantial amounts of robots in recent years. Installations rose to about 43,500 units in 2018. This is 1% less than in the record year of 2017 (44,191 units). The metal and machinery industry was the largest customer industry in Finland (44%), Sweden (42%), Switzerland (40%), Belgium (30%), Austria (27%), Italy (26%) and Denmark (21%).
2018年裝機量占全球總量的10%。2018年的裝機量增至約43,500臺，較2017年（44,191臺）下降了1%。金屬和機械工業是以下幾個國家中最大的應用行業，分別為芬蘭（44%）、瑞典（42%）、瑞士（40%）、比利時（30%）、奧地利（27%）、意大利（26%）和丹麥（21%）。
Robots designed for collaborative use (Cobots)
專為協同使用而設計的機器人（Cobot）
For the first time, World Robotics analyses the market for collaborative industrial robots (cobots). Cobots are designed to perform tasks in the same workspace as human workers. The IFR definition implies that a cobot is necessarily an industrial robot as defined in ISO 8372:2012. Despite a very strong media attention of cobots, the number of units installed is still very low with a share of 3.24% only. In 2018, less than 14,000 out of more than 422,000 industrial robots installed, were cobots. The year before that, roughly 11,100 units were cobots. From 2017 to 2018, annual installations of cobots increased by 23%.
《全球機器人》報告首次分析了協作工業機器人（cobot）的市場。協作機器人旨在與人在同一工作空間中執行任務。IFR這個定義意味著協作機器人必然是符合iso8372:2012標準的工業機器人。盡管協作機器人引起了媒體的強烈關注，但安裝的設備數量仍然很少，僅占3.24%。2018年，在安裝的422,000多臺工業機器人中，只有不到14,000臺機器人是協作機器人。在2017年大約有11,100個單位是協作機器人。從2017年到2018年，協作機器人的年度安裝量增長了23％。

附解
The annual global sales value of 16.5 billion USD in 2018 is a projection based on market values reported by various national robotics associations. This encompasses only the robots. If software, peripherals, and systems engineering is included, the value is approximately 50 billion USD.
2018年全球年銷售額為165億美元，這是根據各國機器人協會報告的預測數值。這個數值僅包括機器人，如果把軟件、外圍設備和系統工程計算在內，這個數值大約為500億美元。
