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.

法蘭克福，2022年9月20日——由國際機器人聯合會公布的初步數據顯示，中國的工業機器人市場實現強勁增長，2021年的安裝量達到了243,300臺的新紀錄，與上一年相比增長了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，中國正在引領全球經濟復蘇，并占2021年全球機器人安裝量的一半，”國際機器人聯合會主席Marina Bill說。“所有行業的增長都很強勁，其中電氣和電子行業占主導地位，增長了30%，達到81,600臺安裝量。汽車行業也顯示出強勁的復蘇，這主要是由中國的電動汽車制造業推動的。該行業在2021年安裝了50,700臺，增長89%。”

Chinese government supports robotic automation
中國政府支持機器人自動化

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.

在中國，人口老齡化導致勞動力短缺并推動機器人自動化的發展。今年早些時候，政府已經宣布了工業的持續機器人化。工業和信息化部在北京發布的機器人產業五年計劃，重點是促進創新——使中國成為機器人技術和工業進步的全球領導者。

New profession: “robotics engineering technician”
新職業：“機器人工程技術人員”

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.

與此同時，中國的目標是增加大學畢業生的就業和創業機會。6月，人力資源和社會保障部宣布了包括“機器人工程技術人員”在內的18個新職業。該專業專注于機器人控制算法和操作系統的研發，以及數字仿真技術的使用。

“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：“中國仍有很大的進一步增長潛力。中國制造業機器人密度達到每萬名員工246臺工業機器人，2020年全球排名第九。十年前，中國的機器人密度僅為15臺。”
