Overall Investment Environment in Europe and Insights into Key Sector

As of the end of 2023, inflation rates have been under control, and Europe has begun its interest rate cut cycle. The anticipated interest rate cut cycle ahead of the United States brings low borrowing costs and speculative opportunities to Europe.

The European robotics market is experiencing a golden age of investment. Between 2018 and 2022, Europe's compound annual growth rate was 28%, far outstripping the global growth rate of 2%. This growth was primarily driven by Germany, with a 77% increase in robotics investments. France saw a 54% increase in robotics investments. Meanwhile, investment growth in robotics powerhouse China and the United States declined by 5% and 2% respectively since 2018. Financing for US and Chinese robotics technologies in growth and late-stage investment rounds has significantly slowed. Compared to 2021, investment in growth and late-stage robotics in the United States and China has decreased by 60%. At the same time, the total investment in growth and late-stage transactions in Europe is only slightly lower than that in the European market.
