7 Further increase of worldwide robot sales in 212 by 9% Automotive industry and electronics industry are the drivers of the growth Main impulses from North America, China, Brazil, Centraland Eastern European countries as well as from Japan Moderate growth of robot supplies to Korea Considerable increase in 212 and beyond in Taiwan Robot sales in Germany will reach almost the peak level of 211 Decrease in some Western European countries : annual growth of 5% on average per year is possible Opening up of huge consumer markets in Asia and South America Energy-efficiency and light weight construction Easy-to-use robots and robots collaborating with human workers Improved and easier integration of industrial robots The automotive industry will continue to be the innovator for new technology. Electrical/electronics industry will continue to automate in order to increase productivity and to improve quality of work for employees Cyclical decrease of investments of the automotive industry is likely in 213 and

8 Risks of continued growths Financial problems of the major markets may reduce growth of the world economy or even cause a recession. Planned investments might be restrained for a while. Trend toward automation cannot will continue sooner or later Because it is necessary to increase productivity, profitability to guarantee sustainability of industrial production To abolish dangerous, tedious and dirty working conditions for human workers worldwide robots provide the only solution Continued success of industrial robots Worldwide annual supply of industrial robots * ' of * 213* 214* 215* * forecast Source: IFR Statistical Department 8
