The impact of Covid-19 on the cobot market varies from region to region.The virus started in the Asian regions and then moved to Europe and North America.As a result,normal business operations and commissioning of automation projects in the Asia-Pacific region will resume earlier than in other regions.This is important for the cobot market,as over 50%of cobots were shipped to Asian countries in 2020.However,only the Chinese and,interestingly,the North American markets are forecast to surpass the size of 2019,mainly due to large domestic demand.China has seen high take-up of cobots because the country,as the world’s largest manufacturing base,is suffering from a labour shortage and is in strong need of higher levels of automation to improve production efficiency.By 2022 all regions are predicted to have exceeded the 2019 market-size,with Western Europe,along with China and North America seeing the fastest growth rates.

新冠肺炎对协作机器人市场的影响因地区而异。病毒从亚洲地区开始，然后转移到欧洲和北美。因此，亚太地区的正常业务运营和自动化项目调试将比其他地区更早恢复。这对于协作机器人市场非常重要，因为2020年有超过50％的协作机器人是销往亚洲国家。但有趣的是，只有中国市场和北美市场预计将超过2019年的规模，这主要是由于巨大的国内需求。作为全球最大的制造基地，中国劳动力短缺，迫切需要更高水平的自动化来提高生产效率，因此协作机器人在中国的使用率较高。预计到2022年，所有地区的市场规模都将超过2019年，其中西欧、中国和北美的增速最快。
