The automotive industry remains the largest adopter of robots globally with a share of almost 30%of the total supply(2018).After a very strong year 2017 that saw a 21%increase of installations,this level was maintained and slightly increased by 2%in 2018.Investments in new car production capacities and in modernization have driven the demand for robots.Using new materials,developing energy efficient drive systems and high competition in all major car markets pushed for investments.79%of industrial robot installations took place in 5 key markets:China(39,351 units),Japan(17,346 units),Germany(15,673 units),the United States(15,246 units)and the Republic of Korea(11,034 units).Interestingly,India,the world’s fourth largest vehicle producer by OICA´s production statistics,had just about 2,100 industrial robots installed in its automotive industry.

汽车行业仍然是全球最大的机器人应用行业，其份额几乎为总供应量的30%（2018年）。在经历了2017年汽车行业21%新增装机量的强劲增长后，汽车行业的机器人装机量一直保持在这一水平并在2018年略增加了2%。汽车新产能的投资和和现代化进程推动了汽车产业对机器人的需求。新材料的使用，节能驱动系统的开发，主要汽车市场间的激烈竞争推动了其对机器人对投资。汽车行业中79%的工业机器人装机量分布在5个重点市场：中国（39,351台）、日本（17,346台）、德国（15,673台）、美国（15,246台）和韩国（11,034台）。有趣的是，根据OICA的生产数据，作为世界第四大汽车生产国的印度，2018年在汽车行业的装机量仅为2,100台。
