年我國工業機器人銷量增速創新高
China purchased 141,000 industrial robots in 2017, up 58.1% year-on-year, but foreign brands accounted for nearly three quarters of that, showing that the gap is still widening between Chinese robot makers and their foreign peers.
2017年，我國購買了14.1萬臺工業機器人，同比增長58.1%，然而在購買的機器人中，外資品牌佔比近3/4，這表明國產與國外機器人制造商存在的差距仍在擴大。The China International Robot Industry Summit, held on Tuesday in Shanghai, said the sales and growth rate of industrial robots hit records in 2017. Among industrial robots, 37,825 were domestically manufactured, up 29.8% year-on-year.
週二在上海舉辦的中國國際機器人產業發展高峯論壇稱，2017年，工業機器人的銷量和增速均創新高。在這些工業機器人當中，有37825臺爲國產製造，同比增長29.8%。Foreign robot makers sold 103,191 robots to China in 2017, up 71.9% from a year earlier.
去年，外國機器人市場向我國售出103191臺機器人，同比增長71.9%。
Although Chinese domestic suppliers have expanded their market share to 32.7% in 2016, the trend was reversed in 2017, as their share shrank to 26.8%, said Qu Daokui, president of China Robot Industry Alliance.
中國機器人產業聯盟理事長曲道奎稱，儘管我國本國供應商在2016年將市場佔有率擴至32.7%，去年這一趨勢出現反轉，其市場佔有率降至26.8%。
"As robotics is expanding into nearly every industry, Chinese robot makers should realize the gap between them and foreign brands, take advantage of China's robotics development boom and learn from foreign experience to help China grow from the world's largest robot market into a robot manufacturing power," said Qu.
曲道奎表示：“隨着機器人正逐漸擴至幾乎所有領域，我國機器人制造商應當瞭解自身和外資品牌間的差距，利用中國機器人的蓬勃發展並學習國外經驗，以幫助我國由世界最大的機器人市場成長爲機器人制造強國。”In his report of Global Market of Industrial Robots, Junji Tsuda, president of International Federation of Robotics (IFR), noted that about 387,000 industrial robots were sold in 2017 worldwide, up 31% year-on-year, creating $50 billion in revenue, with China as one of key drivers behind the strong growth.
國際機器人聯合會主席Junji Tsuda在他的《全球工業機器人市場》報告中指出，在2017年，全球約有38.7萬臺工業機器人售出，同比增長31%，創造了500億美元的收入，而中國則是這一強勁增長背後的關鍵驅動因素之一。China has become the world's largest industrial robot market since 2013, and currently its domestic suppliers are moving up the supplier chain by offering more high-end products in recent years, added the report.
該報告還指出，自2013年以來，中國已成爲全球最大的工業機器人市場。並且在近年來，中國國內的供應商通過提供更多高端產品，正在向供應鏈上游進軍。
