German Robotics and Automation Industry Expects New Sales Record

Record sales figures are expected in the German robotics and automation sector. "We expect to reach for 2011 a new sales record of EUR 10.3 billion" stated Thilo Brodtmann, CEO of the German Engineering Federation Automation + Robotics (VDMA Robotics + Automation). Robotics and automation sector turnover in Germany will record an increase of 37 percent on 2011 figures.

The assembly and handling technology sector will surpass EUR 6 billion turnover in 2011 - recording a surplus of 42 percent. With EUR 2.7 billion, the robotics sector will experience an increase of 38 percent. In doing so, the two subs-sectors will record their highest growth rates to date. The sales volume of the image data processing sector (which witnessed above average growth of 32 percent in 2010) will increase by a further 20 percent to reach EUR 1.5 billion in 2011. All three sub-sectors are forecast to record their highest turnover volumes to date in 2011.

The continuing rise of orders recorded in the country's robotics and automation sector within the first seven months of 2011 will ensure a further turnover growth rate of seven percent - reaching EUR 11.1 billion in 2012. Although the German Engineering Federation projects a slight decrease in orders for the upcoming months, the positive automation technologies trend will continue. According to VDMA Robotics + Automation, the positive trend for robotics and automation technologies is an international one and noticeable in a number of industry branches, most specifically the automobile, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage sectors.
