World record sales of robots achieved

The worldwide sales of industrial robots achieved a new record number of 248,000 units in 2015. This represents a rise of 12 percent compared to the previous year of 2014 where 221,000 units were sold. This sees the continuation of the global automation boom, which commenced in the wake of the financial crisis in 2009. The sales figures for industrial robots have increased almost four-fold since that time. There is no end in sight to this growth trajectory: By 2018, some 2.3 million units will be deployed on factory floors – more than twice as many as in 2009. So says the 2016 World Robotics Statistics, issued by the International Federation of Robotics.

在全球市场,积极销售figures are being driven by highly automated emerging countries, and by regions that are already highly developed economically. For example, in Europe the total sales figures for industrial robots in 2015 rose by ten percent to 50,000 units compared to the previous year.

Growth in America proved even more dynamic, with sales increasing by 15 percent to a total of 37,000 units. The USA heads the list with 27,000 units sold. An extraordinarily large leap forward in automation was registered in Mexico. There, sales more than doubled within one year to around 5,500 units. The reason underlying this development is the investments made in the automotive industry, the products of which Mexico exports to the USA and South America.

亚洲仍然是世界上最强大的增长市场。该地区在2015年总共售出了156,000辆，增长了16％。大约有68,000个工业机器人售出，仅中国就超过了欧洲的总市场量。

Growth in China saw foreign-based robotic manufacturers profit with a 69 percent share of the total market. At the same time, domestic competitors have, by now, significantly expanded their market share to 31 percent. The robotics markets in South Korea and Japan continue to occupy second and third places in global sales behind China – followed by the USA and Germany. This top 5 countries account for three-quarters of the global sales of industrial robots.

分解为行业，全球最大的批量是使用工业机器人的自动化领先的汽车行业。在2015年期间，该细分市场售出了约95,000辆，增长了百分之一。张贴2015年增长最强的行业是金属行业，塑料和橡胶行业，其次是电子产业。

国际机器人技术联合会主席乔·杰玛（Joe Gemma）表示：“数字化转型和自动化的浪潮将继续推动机器人技术的发展，直到2018年。”“它的革命发展与物联网的各个方面有关，新的网络服务正在从根本上改变生产行业。机器，物流和生产工厂正在合并到集成的网络物理系统中。目的是使用智能工厂更灵活，更具成本效益，更有效地工作。”
