IFR报告: 2018年服务机器人销售额增长39%
Sales value of service robots for professional use increased by 39 percent to 6.6 billion U.S. dollars. The total number sold in this robot category rose by 85 percent (2017). Logistic systems show the strongest demand, accounting for 63 percent of the total units and 36 percent of the total sales (in value) of professional service robots. Prospects for service robots remain positive, as it is also a primary field for start-ups.
专业服务机器人的销售额增长了39%，达到66亿美元。该类机器人的总销量增长了85% (2017年)。物流系统呈现出最强劲的需求，占专业服务机器人总数量的63%和总销量(价值)的36%。服务机器人的前景依然乐观，因为这也是初创企业的一个主要领域。
This is according to the 2018 World Robotics Report – Service Robots, issued by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
这是国际机器人联合会(IFR)发布的《2018年世界机器人报告——服务机器人》数据。
“In terms of value, the sales forecast 2019-2021 indicates a cumulative volume of around 46 billion U.S. dollars for the professional service segment”, says Gudrun Litzenberger, General Secretary of the IFR. “Robots for logistics, medical and field services are the most significant contributors.”
“从价值上来看，2019 - 2021年的销售预测显示专业服务领域的累计销售额约为460亿美元。”IFR秘书长Gudrun Litzenberger表示，“物流、医疗和野外服务机器人是最重要的贡献者。”
69,000 logistic systems were installed in 2017 – this is 162 percent more than the number of units in 2016 (26,300). 6,700 automated guided vehicles in manufacturing environments and 62,200 in non-manufacturing environments are building up this increase compared to automated guided vehicles sales numbers in 2016. The value of logistic systems sales is estimated at about 2.4 billion U.S. dollars – an increase of 138 percent compared with 2016.
2017年安装了69,000套物流系统，比2016年的数量( 26,300套)增长了162 %。与2016年自动引导车辆（AGV）销售数字相比，制造环境中的6,700辆自动引导车辆和非制造环境中的62,200辆自动引导车辆正在增加。物流系统销售额估计约为24亿美元，比2016年增长了138 %。
Medical robots are also well-established service robots with a considerable growth potential. The total value of sales of medical robots increased to 1.9 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 29 percent of the total sales value of the professional service robots in 2017. Most important applications are robot assisted surgery or therapy and rehabilitation robots which assist people who have a disability with necessary activities or they provide therapy to people with the aim of improving their physical or cognitive functions.
医疗机器人也是成熟的服务机器人，具有相当大的发展潜力。医疗机器人的总销售额增加到19亿美元，占2017年专业服务机器人总销售额的29 %。最重要的应用是机器人辅助手术或治疗和康复机器人，这些机器人帮助残疾人进行必要的活动，或者为人们提供治疗，以改善他们的身体或认知功能。
The sales value of field robots, which mostly comprise milking robots, account for about 15 percent of the total value of professional service robot sales. Their share slightly decreased by 2 percent to 966 million U.S. dollars. The total number of field robots sold in 2017 was 6,375 units, accounting for a share of 6 percent of the total unit supply. A total of almost 5,400 milking robots were sold in 2017 compared to almost 5,300 units in 2016, representing a 2 percent increase. In 2016, sales decreased due to financial problems of the dairy farmers. The market is still showing the effects of this in 2017. Agricultural robots (broad acre farming for crop, vegetable and fruit cultivation, harvesting) are getting grounded in the market. Sales increased from 190 units in 2016 to 520 units in 2017.
主要由挤奶机器人组成的野外机器人的销售额约占专业服务机器人销售额的15 %。他们的份额略微下降了2%，为9.66亿美元。2017年，野外机器人的总销量为6375台，占总供应量的6%。2017年总共销售了近5400台挤奶机器人，而2016年销售了近5300台，增长2%。2016年，由于奶农的财务问题，销量下降。这一效应到了2017年仍在影响市场。农业机器人(用于大面积农作物、蔬菜和水果的种植、收获)正在市场上扎根，销量从2016年的190台增加到2017年的520台。
At the same time, the market for personal service robots, which assist or entertain humans in their everyday lives, is progressing rapidly. Value was up by 27 percent to 2.1 billion U.S. dollars. The total number increased by 25 percent to about 8.5 million units in 2017. It is estimated that nearly 6.1 million robots were sold for domestic tasks, including vacuum cleaning, lawn-mowing, window cleaning and other types – an impressive 31 percent increase compared to 2016. The actual number might, however, be significantly higher, as the IFR survey is far from having full coverage in this domain. The value was about 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. Compared to 2016, this represents an increase of 30 percent.
与此同时，帮助或娱乐人类日常生活的个人服务机器人市场正在迅速发展，销售额上升了27%达21亿美元。2017年，总数量增加了25%，达到大约850万台。据估计，有将近610万机器人被出售用于家庭任务，包括真空清洁、割草、擦窗和其他类型——与2016年相比增长了31%。然而，实际数字可能要高得多，因为IFR调查远未完全涵盖这一领域，其销售额约16亿美元，与2016年相比增长了30%。
European service robot manufacturers play an important role in the global market: about 300 out of the meanwhile more than 700 registered companies supplying service robots come from Europe. North America ranks second with about 250 manufacturers and Asia third with about 130. Furthermore, about 30% of the service robot suppliers are considered as start-ups with a maximum age of five years therefore indicating the dynamics of this emerging and progressive segment in robotics.
欧洲服务机器人制造商在全球市场上发挥着重要作用：在同时700多家提供服务机器人的注册公司中，约有300家来自欧洲。北美排名第二，约有250家制造商，亚洲排名第三，约有130家。此外，约30%的服务机器人供应商被认为是初创企业，创办最久的仅为5年，这也充分展现了机器人技术这一新兴前端领域的活力。
