European Union: Industries Invest Heavily in Robotics
欧盟：各行业大力投资机器人技术

Industrial robots in Europe are on the rise: The European Union´s (EU) 27 member states installed almost 72,000 units in 2022–up 6% year-on-year. These are PRELIMINARY results, presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

根据国际机器人联合会(IFR) 发布的初步结果，欧洲的工业机器人呈上升趋势，欧盟27个成员国在2022年安装了近72,000台，同比增长6%。

“The top five adopting countries within the EU are Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Poland,” said Marina Bill, president of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “They account for about 70% of all industrial robots installed within the EU in 2022."

国际机器人联合会主席Marina Bill表示：“欧盟内采用机器人最多的五个国家分别是德国、意大利、法国、西班牙和波兰，在2022年，它们约占欧盟境内安装的所有工业机器人的70%。”

Germany is by far the largest robot market in Europe: about 26,000 units (+3%) were installed in 2022. This was a share of 37% of total EU installations. Worldwide, the country had the fourth highest robot density, following Japan, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea.

德国是迄今为止欧洲最大的机器人市场：2022年安装量约为26,000台(+3%)。占欧盟总安装量的37%。在全球范围内，该国的机器人密度排名第四，仅次于日本、新加坡和韩国。

The automotive industry is traditionally the main customer of industrial robots in Germany. 27% of the newly deployed robots were installed in this industry in 2022. This was 7,100 units, down 22% from the previous year–a cyclical investment behavior well known in this segment. In the general industry, the main customer was the metal industry that installed 4,200 units (+20%) in 2022. This is above the pre-pandemic level that fluctuated around 3,500 units per year with a peak level of 3,700 units in 2019. Installations in the plastic and chemical products industry were back at a pre-pandemic level - up by 7% to 2,200 units in 2022.

汽车行业传统上是德国工业机器人的主要用户。2022年，新部署的机器人中有27% 安装在汽车行业。这一数字为7,100台，比上一年下降 22%，这是该领域众所周知的周期性投资行为。在一般行业中，主要客户是金属业，2022年安装量为4,200台（+20%）。这高于疫情前每年约3,500台波动的水平，2019年峰值为3,700台。塑料和化学制品行业的产量回到了疫情前的水平，到2022年将增长7%，达2,200台。

Italy is the second largest robot market in Europe after Germany. An all-time high of almost 12,000 units (+10%) were installed in 2022. This was a share of 16% of total EU installations.

意大利是欧洲第二大机器人市场，仅次于德国。2022年安装量创历史新高，接近12,000台（+10%），占欧盟总安装量的16%。

The country has a strong metal and machinery industry: Sales reached 3,700 units–in 2022–up 18% compared to the previous year. Robot sales in the plastic and chemical products industry grew by 42% with 1,400 units installed. And the country also has a powerful food & beverages industry. Installations went up by 9% reaching 1,400 units in 2022. Demand from the automotive industry was down by 22% to 900 units. This segment is dominated by the Stellantis Group that resulted from the merger of FIAT-Chrysler and PSA of France.

该国拥有强大的金属和机械工业：2022 年销量达到 3,700 辆，比上年增长18%。塑料和化工产品行业的机器人销量增长了42%，安装量达到1,400台。意大利还拥有强大的食品饮料工业。2022年安装量增长9%，达1,400台。汽车行业的需求下降22%，为900台。该细分市场由菲亚特-克莱斯勒和法国标致雪铁龙合并而成的Stellantis集团主导。

The robot market in France ranked third in Europe in 2022. Annual installations went up by 15% with a total number of 7,400 units. This is less than a third the number of neighboring Germany. The main customer is the metal industry with a market share of 22%. The segment installed 1,600 units – up 23%. The automotive industry grew by 19% and reached 1,600 units. This represents a market share of 21%. The French government’s €100bn stimulus package for investment in smart factory equipment that came into effect mid-2021 will create new demand for industrial robots in the next few years. 

2022年，法国机器人市场位居欧洲第三，年安装量增长15%，总数达7,400台。这还不到邻国德国的三分之一。主要客户是金属行业，市场份额为22%。该细分市场安装了1,600 台，增长23%。汽车行业增长19%，达到1,600台，占21%的市场份额。法国政府于2021年中生效的1000亿欧元投资智能工厂设备刺激计划将在未来几年创造对工业机器人的新需求。 

Annual installations in Spain grew by 12% with a total number of 3,800 units. Robot installations are traditionally determined by the automotive industry. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), Spain is the second largest producer of cars in Europe following Germany. The car industry in Spain installed 900 units – up 5%. Sales in the metal industry grew by 20% and reached 900 units. Automotive and the metal industry accounted for almost 50% of the robot installations in 2022.

西班牙的年安装量增长了12%，总数达3,800台。机器人的安装传统上由汽车行业决定。根据国际机动车辆制造商组织（OICA）的数据，西班牙是继德国之后的欧洲第二大汽车生产国。西班牙汽车行业安装了900台，增长5%。金属行业销量增长20%，达到900台。到2022年，汽车和金属行业占机器人安装量的近50%。

Robot installations in Poland had been on a strong upward trajectory for nine years.

九年来，波兰的机器人安装量一直呈强劲上升趋势。

Annual installations reached a total number of 3,100 units in 2022–the second-best result after the new peak level of 3,500 units in 2021. Demand from the metal and machinery industry was up by 17% to 600 units in 2022. The automotive industry displayed a cyclical demand with 500 units installed–down 37%. The war in neighboring Ukraine dampened the manufacturing industries. But investments in digitalization and automation technologies will benefit from a total of €160 bn in EU investment support between 2021 and 2027.

2022年，全年安装量达3100台，是继2021年3500台的新峰值之后的第二好成绩。金属和机械行业的需求在2022年增长17%，达到600台。汽车行业表现出周期性需求，安装了500台，下降了37%。邻国乌克兰的战争削弱了制造业。但数字化和自动化技术的投资将受益于2021年至2027年间总计1600亿欧元的欧盟投资支持。

Robot installations in European countries including non-EU member states reached a total of 84,000 units – up 3% in 2022.

包括非欧盟成员国在内的欧洲国家的机器人安装量总计达到84,000台，2022年增长3%。
