厉害了！日本交付了全球工业机器人供应量的52％【工控译文】

　　Japan exported a total of nearly 115,000 industrial robots in 2016 with a value of 309 billion yen (about US$ 2.7 billion). This is by far the highest export volume for one year. The export rate increased from 72 percent to 75 percent (2011-2016). North America, China, the Republic of Korea and Europe were target export destinations. The Japanese imports of robots were extremely low, only about 1 percent of installations. Thus, foreign robot suppliers did not achieve a high sales volume in Japan. The home market has strongly recovered since the financial crisis in 2009 and reached 39,000 units, the highest level since 2006 (37,000 units).

　　在2016年，日本总共出口了近11.5万台工业机器人，价值3090亿日元（约合27亿美元）。这是迄今为止最高的一年出口量。出口率从72％上升到75％（2011至2016年）。北美、中国、韩国和欧洲是目标出口地。日本的机器人进口量非常低，只有大约百分之一。因此，外国机器人供应商在日本的销量并不高。自2009年金融危机以来，日本国内市场强劲复苏，达3.9万台，为2006年以来的最高水平（3.7万台）。

　　In Japan, the economy benefits from increased foreign demand, especially from China, the expansive monetary policy of the Bank of Japan and the weaker yen. Based on estimates provided by the Japanese Robot Association (JARA), the IFR expects an increase of around 10 percent in 2017 in domestic installations. Between 2018 and 2020 a further average annual increase of about 5 percent is likely, provided the economic recovery in Japan continues.

　　日本央行扩张性的货币政策和日元走软使得外需增加，特别是来自中国的需求，识得经济受益。根据日本机器人协会（JARA）提供的估计，IFR预计2017年日本国内市场增长10％左右。如果日本的经济复苏持续下去，2018年和2020年之间的平均年增长率可能会达到5％左右。
