Robot Sales in North American Manufacturing Up 12%
北美制造业机器人销售额增长12%

May 23, 2023 - The North American robotics market showed strong growth: Total installations in manufacturing rose by 12% and reached 41,624 units in 2022. Number one adopter is the automotive industry: companies based in the US, Canada and Mexico installed 20,391 industrial robots–up 30% compared to 2021. These are preliminary results, presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

2023年5月23日——根据国际机器人联合会（IFR）公布的初步结果，北美机器人市场呈现强劲增长：制造业的总安装量上升了12%，在2022年达到4万1624台。最大应用在汽车行业，美国、加拿大和墨西哥企业安装了2万391台工业机器人，与2021年相比增长30%。
 
“North America represents the second largest operational stock of industrial robots in the world after China,” says Marina Bill, President of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “The United States, Canada, and Mexico are key markets in the global growth of robotics automation, and the automotive sector is leading the way.”

国际机器人联合会主席Marina Bill表示：“北美是仅次于中国的全球第二大工业机器人运营存量市场。美国、加拿大和墨西哥是全球机器人自动化增长的关键市场，而汽车行业正在引领这一趋势。”

Cyclical demand from automotive
汽车的周期性需求

In the United States, demand from car makers and manufacturers of components rose by 48% in 2022. Installations thus display the cyclical demand pattern well-known from this customer segment. After a few years of contraction, down from the peak level of 15,397 units in 2017 to 9,854 units in 2021, installations surged to 14,594 units in 2022.

在美国，汽车制造商和零部件制造商的需求在2022年增长了48%。因此，安装显示出该客户群众所周知的周期性需求模式。经过几年的收缩，从2017年的1万5397台的峰值水平下降到2021年的9854台，安装量在2022年激增至1万4594台。

Installation counts in Canada largely depend on investments of the automotive industry that accounts for 40% of robot installations. Sales to automotive declined by 36% with 1,258 units installed in 2022. This is below the pre-pandemic level of 1,897 units in 2019. The robot installations to manufacture parts and accessories for motor vehicles were significantly down by 45% with 995 units sold. Motor vehicles, engines and bodies on the other hand grew by 99% with 263 units sold.

加拿大的安装数量很大程度上取决于占机器人安装量40%的汽车工业投资。汽车行业销量下降36%，2022年安装了1258台。这低于2019年疫情前1897台的水平。制造汽车零部件和附件的机器人安装量大幅下降了45%,售出995台。另一方面，汽车、发动机和车身增长了99%，售出263台。

Robot installations in Mexico are also determined by the automotive industry that accounted for 66% of the robot installations in 2022: Sales grew by 16% and reached 4,222 units in 2022 – the second best result since the peak level of 4,805 units in record year 2017.

墨西哥的机器人安装量也由占2022年机器人安装量66%的汽车行业决定:销量增长16%，2022年达到4222台——这是自2017年创纪录的4805台峰值水平以来的第二好成绩。

Non-automotive sectors 
非汽车行业

Installation counts in other industries exceeding the 4,000-unit mark in North America are: electrical/electronics (+28%), metal and machinery (-9%), and plastic and chemical products (-4%). They each represent a 9% market share of industrial robot installations in 2022. 

在北美，超过4000台大关的其他行业安装量分别是:电气/电子（+28％）、金属和机械(-9%)以及塑料和化学品(-4%)。到2022年，它们各占2022年工业机器人安装量的9%的市场份额。
