VDMARobotics and automation back on course for growth
The robotics and automation industry in Germany will generate an 11% increase in turnover in 2021 to €13.4 billion - according to the forecast by the VDMA Robotics + Automation Association. In contrast, 2020 was a clearly negative year.
Wilfried Eberhardt, Chairman of the VDMA Robotics + Automation Association: "The order books in particular are currently filling up quickly. Even better sales figures can be achieved if the current supply bottlenecks for key components are eliminated quickly. The outlook into 2022 is excellent, as complex projects that are currently underway will only be invoiced with a time delay. With the current momentum, the chances of reaching or even exceeding the record result from 2018 as early as next year are therefore good"
