工業(yè)機(jī)器人年復(fù)合增長(zhǎng)率
2012年全球生產(chǎn)了二十萬(wàn)左右的工業(yè)機(jī)器人，生產(chǎn)這些機(jī)器人的廠家主要在歐洲和日本，這些地區(qū)已經(jīng)具備建立起工業(yè)機(jī)器人生產(chǎn)的基礎(chǔ)。在2011-2016年之間，機(jī)器人產(chǎn)品在亞太地區(qū)（包括日本）預(yù)計(jì)有9.6%的年復(fù)合增長(zhǎng)率（CAGR），高于世界其他地區(qū)，中國(guó)對(duì)這個(gè)增長(zhǎng)有顯著貢獻(xiàn)，而諸多影響因素可能使這個(gè)增長(zhǎng)率增加的幾率很大。
從那家供應(yīng)商購(gòu)買機(jī)器人取決于許多因素，類似于成本，應(yīng)用，地點(diǎn)以及專業(yè)因素。某些情況下，政治因素也會(huì)有影響。比如，中國(guó)的終端用戶反感同日本供應(yīng)商進(jìn)行生意往來(lái)，因?yàn)樗麄兏髯缘恼卺烎~(yú)島問(wèn)題上的爭(zhēng)議，而大量應(yīng)用于制造業(yè)基礎(chǔ)投資的資金來(lái)自于中國(guó)政府控制的基金。
中國(guó)工業(yè)產(chǎn)品復(fù)合增長(zhǎng)率比過(guò)去十年大概增加了14.5%，從而產(chǎn)生對(duì)于自動(dòng)化的配套要求。在中國(guó)最近公布的第十二個(gè)五年計(jì)劃中，明確表示：相對(duì)于嚴(yán)重依賴進(jìn)口的方式，國(guó)家將會(huì)優(yōu)先選擇國(guó)內(nèi)供應(yīng)商提供的原料產(chǎn)品。本地制造商類似于GSK和SIASUN。盡管國(guó)內(nèi)制造商尚需一段時(shí)間達(dá)到產(chǎn)品的可靠性要求，而主要的機(jī)器人生產(chǎn)商，ABB，KUKA和Yaskawa已經(jīng)在該地區(qū)建立了生產(chǎn)基地。
可證實(shí)新聞是：中國(guó)工業(yè)機(jī)器人新聞是富士康宣布未來(lái)2-3年投入100萬(wàn)機(jī)器人到其工廠中，并且銷售工業(yè)機(jī)器人。這個(gè)消息雖被質(zhì)疑，但他們的確有投資自動(dòng)化產(chǎn)業(yè)的需求，這來(lái)自于日益增長(zhǎng)的關(guān)于富士康雇員的待遇和用工環(huán)境問(wèn)題。且不論富士康是否能達(dá)成這個(gè)雄心勃勃的目標(biāo)，在中國(guó)，對(duì)于工業(yè)機(jī)器人的關(guān)注增長(zhǎng)是毋庸置疑的，隨著中國(guó)社會(huì)人口結(jié)構(gòu)變化，企業(yè)發(fā)現(xiàn)越來(lái)越難于發(fā)現(xiàn)廉價(jià)勞動(dòng)力，因?yàn)楹芏嗄贻p人相對(duì)于學(xué)徒型職業(yè)發(fā)展道路，更熱衷于提高自己的教育水平。隨著中國(guó)出現(xiàn)更多的本地機(jī)器人制造企業(yè)，更成熟的型號(hào)名稱，可以清楚的看到，在未來(lái)十年中，中國(guó)機(jī)器人工業(yè)生產(chǎn)將會(huì)比世界上其他國(guó)家增長(zhǎng)更快。

The Growth of China’s Industrial Robot Production
Kiran Patel
There were an estimated 200,000 industrial robots produced worldwide in 2012. The majority of the manufacturing of these robots took place in Europe and Japan, where there is already a base of established industrial robot producers. Between 2011 and 2016, the production of industrial robots in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) is forecast to grow at a CAGR (compound average growth rate) of 9.6%, more than any other region in the world, with China set to contribute significantly to this growth. There are numerous influencing factors which may cause this CAGR to further increase by a large factor.
The decision to buy a robot from one vendor over another is dependent on many things such as cost, application, location and range of expertise. In certain circumstances, political alignment may also play a part. For example, Chinese end-users may be reluctant to do business with Japanese vendors due to the dispute between their respective governments over the Senkakus-Diaoyus islands - a significant amount of investment into manufacturing infrastructure relies on Chinese Government funding.
Chinese industrial production has increased at a CAGR of approximately 14.5% over the past decade, and the country’s demand for automation has followed suit. In its recently announced 12th five-year plan, it was clear that the country will seek to source goods from domestic suppliers rather than rely heavily on foreign imports. Local manufacturers such as GSK and SIASUN are two examples of domestic suppliers. However, it may take some time for domestic producers to establish credibility (even with a low cost solution), especially since major robot manufacturers such as ABB, KUKA Roboter and Yaskawa have opened up manufacturing facilities in the region.
Arguably the biggest news concerning the industrial robot market in China has been the announcement of Foxconn’s intention to deploy one million robots in its factories in the next 2-3 years, with intentions to sell onto the open market as well. This news has generally been met with scepticism. However, there is a definite need for the business to invest in automation, with growing concerns regarding the treatment and working conditions of its employees.
Whether or not Foxconn meet their ambitious production target, there is little doubt that the interest in industrial robots is growing in China. As the social demographic changes in China, businesses are finding it more and more difficult to find low-cost labourers as more young people are furthering their education rather than taking vocational apprenticeships. As more local robot manufacturers appear in China, alongside some of the more established names, it is clear that industrial robot production is set to increase more than in any other country in the world over the next decade.
