Double Digit Growth for Robot Sales in North America
北美机器人销售实现两位数增长

The North American robotics market experienced its best quarter ever to begin the year: Companies from the US, Canada and Mexico ordered 11,595 industrial robots–up 28% compared to the first quarter of 2021. Revenue rose by 43% and reached a value of USD 664 million. These results are in line with a positive trend worldwide: Preliminary data for 2021 show, that 486,700 industrial robots have been installed globally (+27% year-on-year).     

北美机器人市场在今年年初经历了有史以来最好的一个季度。来自美国、加拿大和墨西哥的公司订购了11,595台工业机器人，与2021年第一季度相比增长了28%。收入增长了43%，达到了6.64亿美元。这些结果与全球范围内的积极趋势相一致。2021年的初步数据显示，全球已经安装了486,700台工业机器人（同比增长27%）。   

“A strong recovery of the international robotics markets is currently in progress: Worldwide installations of industrial robots in 2021 even exceed the record year 2018,” said Milton Guerry, president of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “In North America, first quarter order volumes for both units and revenue were at all-time highs. Across industries, the post-COVID crisis boom creates double-digit growth over the same quarter of last year.”

"目前，国际机器人市场正在强劲复苏中。2021年全球工业机器人的安装量甚至超过了2018年的记录，"国际机器人联合会（IFR）主席Milton Guerry说。"在北美，第一季度的出货量和订单量都达到了历史最高水平。在各行业中，疫情危机后的繁荣创造了比去年同季度两位数的增长。"

Automotive orders up
汽车订单增加 
 
In North America, car makers and manufacturers of components accounted for 47% of robot orders in Q1 2022, their orders grew by 15% year-on-year. Several car manufacturers have announced investments to further equip their factories for new electric drive car models or to increase capacity for battery production. These major projects will continue to create demand for industrial robots in the next few years. The United States has the second largest production volume of cars and light vehicles in the world, following China. Worldwide installations of industrial robots in the automotive sector reached 109,400 units in 2021 (+37% year-on-year).

在北美，汽车制造商和零部件制造商占2022年第一季度机器人订单的47%，他们的订单同比增长了15%。一些汽车制造商已经宣布投资，为新的电动汽车型号进一步装备他们的工厂，或增加电池生产的能力。这些重大项目将在未来几年继续创造对工业机器人的需求。美国的汽车和轻型汽车产量仅次于中国，位居世界第二。2021年，全球汽车行业的工业机器人安装量达到109,400台（同比增长37%）。

Non-automotive sectors surpassed automotive
非汽车行业超过汽车行业

Continuing a trend, non-automotive customers have ordered more robots than automotive customers. Worldwide, the electrical & electronics industry is the strongest adopter with a record of 132,200 units installed in 2021. In North America, automotive customers orders in Q1 2022 were 5,476 units, while non-automotive customers ordered 6,122 units the same period. In seven out of the last nine quarters, orders from non-automotive customers surpassed orders from automotive customers.

非汽车客户订购的机器人数量超过汽车客户的趋势在延续。在全球范围内，电气和电子是最大的采用行业，2021年安装了132,200台。在北美，2022年第一季度的汽车客户订单为5,476台，而同期的非汽车客户订单为6,122台。在过去九个季度中的七个季度，来自非汽车客户的订单超过了来自汽车客户的订单。
