2. Orders for industrial robots from Fanuc, ABB, and Yaskawa Electric picked up in Q2
According to data disclosed in the Sinolink Securities research report, the performance of Fanuc, ABB,
and Yaskawa Electric robots is still declining, but orders have rebounded. In addition to KUKA, the 2019Q2
financial data of Fanuc, ABB, and Yaskawa Electric show that their overall revenue and profits and robot
business revenue and profits are still declining, but there are also some
structural improvements, and robot orders from each company have recovered to varying degrees. Since orders
lead revenue by about a quarter, the revenue decline shows that China”s robot market demand is still
bottoming out, but the inflection point in response to improved orders
is not far away.
