China Leads Post-pandemic Recovery: IFR`s World Robotics Outlook
中国引领疫后复苏：IFR世界机器人展望

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.

国际机器人联合会（IFR）发布的世界机器人初步数据显示，2020年中国工业机器人的销售额增长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.”

"机器人行业前景是乐观"，国际机器人联合会主席Milton Guerry表示。"抗疫率先取得卓越成效的中国，机器人行业在2020年已经开始恢复。总共出货了16.7万台工业机器人。"

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.

中国市场的增长也对外国供应商产生了极大的积极影响——外资品牌工业机器人出货12.3万台，增长24%，其中日本供应商在市场上占主导地位。国产品牌向国内市场交付了44,000台，与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年全球机器人安装量下降了2%，尤其是在新冠大流行的影响下。但销售额下降幅度还是比预期的要温和。

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

经合组织预测，2021年全球GDP增长率为5.5%，2022年为4%。但各个国家的情况不尽相同。

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年机器人行业的订单量使人们有理由期待北美和欧洲的强劲增长。例如，美国的订单正在迅速填满。在德国，今年的预测显示出强劲的复苏，显示出该行业的一个积极转折点。如果能够迅速克服目前关键部件的供应瓶颈，甚至可以实现更好的销售数字。

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.

实现气候中立的全球趋势正在产生新的业务机会。为了实现雄心勃勃的气候目标，各经济体已开始将可再生能源和环保技术扩大到前所未有的程度。机器人技术和自动化使各种规模的公司能够生产所需的部件，比如用于氢动力汽车的燃料电池或运输领域的电池，以及能源部门的太阳能电池板。新一代易于使用的机器人有助于优化生产过程中的表现，并以有竞争力的成本让制造业更接近区域市场。

“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.”

"事实证明，在快速调整生产以应对需求变化以及较小批量方面，机器人具有高度的灵活性，"Milton Guerry说。"提高生产力的好处是通过保持公司的竞争力来保障就业。"
