Automotive industry will remain the driver of thecontinuing growth

Automotive industry Increase in demand for

renewal of their facilities. Factory automation will

be dramaticallyaccelerated in Asianmarket and other

developing countries Need to set up new

manufacturing lines forhybrid and electricvehicles

9/11


Also in other industries the use of industrial robotswill increase!

High speed handling/pick & place is increasing especiallyin food and pharmaceutical industries

The increasing demand on alternative energies will pushthe installation of industrial robots in the production of solarcells, etc.

Industry will try to get robots into the areas which have still

a low degree of automation. Small companies will try to increase their automation level

to stay competitive

10/11


The growing markets in Asia will continue to be thedriver of the increase of robot sales

Further growing markets: China, South Korea, Malaysiaand India

Automotive industry will drive the automation level in China- other industries like plastics, food, electronics arefollowing.

Still low rate of sales in India but steady increase

Promising Indian market for robotics

Increasing use of robots in the electronics industry, foodand beverage industry and metal industry in North America

Increasing consumer markets Brazil and Russia Continuing recovery in Europe and North America
