IFR公布2021年初步数据

Frankfurt, Sep 20, 2022 — The industrial robotics market in China achieved strong growth with a new record of 243,300 installations in 2021 – a rise of 44% compared to the previous year. These preliminary data have been published by the International Federation of Robotics.

法兰克福，2022年9月20日——由国际机器人联合会公布的初步数据显示，中国的工业机器人市场实现强劲增长，2021年的安装量达到了243,300台的新纪录，与上一年相比增长了44%。

“China was leading the global recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic and accounted for half of worldwide robot installations in 2021,” said Marina Bill, President of the International Federation of Robotics. “Growth is strong across all industries with electrical and electronics being the dominant sector – up 30% to 81,600 installations. The automotive industry also showed a strong recovery. This was mainly driven by electric vehicle manufacturing in China. It rose by 89% in 2021 with 50,700 installations.” 

“在新冠肺炎疫情之后，中国正在引领全球经济复苏，并占2021年全球机器人安装量的一半，”国际机器人联合会主席Marina Bill说。“所有行业的增长都很强劲，其中电气和电子行业占主导地位，增长了30%，达到81,600台安装量。汽车行业也显示出强劲的复苏，这主要是由中国的电动汽车制造业推动的。该行业在2021年安装了50,700台，增长89%。”

▍Chinese government supports robotic automation

中国政府支持机器人智能化

In China aging population's demographics causes shortage of labor and drives the growth of robotic automation. The continued robotization of industries has been announced earlier this year by the government. The Five-Year plan for the robotics industry, released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in Beijing, focuses on promoting innovation - making China a global leader of robot technology and industrial advancement.

在中国，人口老龄化导致劳动力短缺并推动机器人自动化的发展。今年早些时候，政府已经宣布了工业的持续机器人化。工业和信息化部在北京发布的机器人智能化的五年计划，重点是促进创新——使中国成为机器人技术和工业进步的全球领导者。 

▍New profession: “robotics engineering technician”

新职业：“机器人工程技术人员” 

At the same time, state authorities aim to boost employment and entrepreneurial opportunities among college graduates. In June, 18 new professions including “robotics engineering technician” were announced by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. The profession focuses on the research and development of control algorithms and operating systems for robots, as well as the use of digital simulation technology.

与此同时，中国的目标是增加大学毕业生的就业和创业机会。6月，人力资源和社会保障部宣布了包括“机器人工程技术人员”在内的18个新职业。该专业专注于机器人控制算法和操作系统的研发，以及数字仿真技术的使用。

“China still has high potential for further growth,” said Marina Bill. “The country´s robot density in the manufacturing industry amounts to 246 industrial robots per 10,000 employees thus ranking ninth worldwide in 2020. Ten years ago, China´s robot density was 15 units only.”

Marina Bill表示：“中国仍有很大的进一步增长潜力。中国制造业机器人密度达到每万名员工246台工业机器人，2020年全球排名第九。十年前，中国的机器人密度仅为15台。”
