Manufacturers of robotics and automation expect their machine production to grow by 11% per year to 2020. This expectation is twice as high as in machinery industry. Growth in machinery industry is expected to reach 5.5% per year to 2020. This is the result of a market survey conducted by Quest TechnoMarketing in the German mechanical engineering sector.
The new industry report in Quest Trend Magazine divides the growth expectations into various growth ranges. A twofold division of growth expectations in the sector Robotics and Automation becomes apparent. Almost three-quarters of the interviewed machine-builders do not expect any growth in machine production to 2020. However, more than a quarter expects above-average growth between 10% and 20% per year.
This division also reflects the uneven situation of global industrial production and the most important export markets.
The report is available on http://www.quest-trendmagazine.com/en/machinery-industry/robotics-and-automation/growth-expectations-in-sector-robotics-and-automation.html
The Quest Trend Magazine has published further industry reports about printing and paper machines, conveyor, rubber/plastic machines, food processing machines, packaging machines and machine tools.
These industry reports make it easier for machine-builders to classify their experience in long-term contexts and to determine their position.
