How to read the figures
| Measure | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Unit output | Manufacturing scale |
| Export value | Mix of machines and components |
| Average unit price | Position on the value ladder |
| Component imports | Dependence on outside supply |
| Domestic content | Progress in localisation |
Interpreting carefully
- Cross-check national statistics against customs data before quoting.
- Separate industrial robots from service and consumer categories.
- Watch component trade, which moves before complete machines.
