The industrial robot market is facing a mixed picture over the coming years, with 2024 set to end on a challenging note. Global robot shipments are projected to decline by 0.2%, following a flat performance in 2023. Compared with our May 2024 forecast, we have revised our 2024 projections for overall shipments downward by 5.8%; from over 553,000 units to 521,328 units. Additionally, the expected growth for 2025 has been reduced by 0.7 percentage points. These revisions reflect weaker-than-anticipated sales to the automotive industry in the second half of 2024 within the US and Europe, along with continued sluggish demand in China.

未來幾年，工業機器人市場將麵臨喜憂參半的局麵，2024 年將以充滿挑戰的方式結束。繼 2023 年表現平平之後，全球機器人出貨量預計將下降 0.2%。與 2024 年 5 月的預測相比，我們已將 2024 年的整體出貨量預測下調了 5.8%;從超過 553,000 輛增加到 521,328 輛。此外，2025 年的預期增長率已下調 0.7 個百分點。這些修正反映了 2024 年下半年美國和歐洲汽車行業的銷售額弱於預期
，以及中國需求持續低迷。

Despite these challenges, we expect a gradual recovery in 2025. This is driven by anticipated increases in machinery investments – as key economies lower interest rates – alongside a broader recovery in the global manufacturing sector. However, factors such as high inventory levels and weak order intake are likely to persist in many industry sectors. This could potentially dampen robot demand during the first half of 2025. We forecast that industrial robot shipments will return to growth rates of over 7% by 2026.

盡管存在這些挑戰，我們預計 2025 nianjiangzhubufusu。zheshiyouyuzhuyaojingjitijiangdililv

Market by Robot Type:
按機器人分類市場：

Collaborative robots (cobots) stand out as a key growth area. We expect to see a 15.9% increase in shipments in 2024, despite the global economic slowdown. However, as competition increases, the price decline for cobots has been the most pronounced, resulting in a slower projected revenue growth rate of 11% during 2024.

協作機器人 （cobots） 是一個關鍵的增長領域。盡管全球經濟放緩，我們預計 2024 年的出貨量將增長 15.9%。然而，隨著競爭的加劇，協作機器人的價格下降最為明顯，導致 2024 年預計收入增長率將放緩至 11%。

SCARA robots are expected to see modest growth of 1.8% in 2024, fuelled by demand recovering in Asia’s semiconductor and electronics sectors. In contrast, other robot types will experience declines in shipments of 1-3% over the year, primarily due to challenges within the automotive and broader industrial sectors.

在亞洲半導體和電子行業需求複蘇的推動下

，預計 SCARA 機器人將在 2024 年實現 1.8% 的溫和增長。相比之下
，其他機器人類型的出貨量將在一年內下降 1-3%
，這主要是由於汽車和更廣泛的工業部門麵臨的挑戰。

Americas:
美洲

Robot shipments in the Americas are projected to contract by 6.6% in 2024, primarily due to sluggish demand from the automotive industry. Shipments in the electronics and metal sectors are also experiencing declines. While demand for robots in consumer-related sectors is growing, it is not enough to offset the downturn in other industries. However, the life sciences sector has been a bright spot, with strong growth in demand for robots used in pharmaceutical production and medical device assembly in the US.

Excluding China, South Korea and Japan, the region is expected to record a CAGR of 7.4%. Southeast Asian countries are emerging as key hubs for the electronics, semiconductor, and automotive industries, with international companies increasingly establishing factories there. This is expected to help drive robot demand.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA):
歐洲
、中東和非洲

In 2024, robot shipments in EMEA are expected to decline by 9.2%. In Europe, orders sharply deteriorated in the second quarter, particularly in the automotive sector. Like North America, robot shipments in the European life sciences and food & beverage industries are expected to see smaller declines (2-3%), in contrast to the larger contractions anticipated in industries such as automotive, metal, and rubber & plastics. Although the new energy segment in Europe is comparatively small, it is also expected to experience a significant drop in robot shipments.

From 2024 to 2028, we expect robot shipments in the EMEA region to grow at a CAGR of 5.6%. Demand growth in Eastern Europe is expected to accelerate with the expansion of the automotive supply chain in the region. Specialist countries in the life sciences sector, such as Denmark and Switzerland, are also expected to see above-average growth. However, larger manufacturing hubs, like Germany, are anticipated to experience slower growth, due to the ongoing recession in the manufacturing sector and structural challenges that could hinder economic recovery.
