Analysis of the scale of the global industrial robot market and the scale of China's industrial robot industry

Industrial robots are designed to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing industry and improve product quality, thereby reducing the production cost of the manufacturing industry and accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Therefore, industrial robots are highly valued at the national level, and a series of policies have been introduced in recent years to encourage the development of the industrial robot industry.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 15 departments issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" robot industry development plan, to carry out the development of innovative industrial robot products, the development of high-precision and high-reliability welding robots for automobiles, aerospace, rail transit and other fields, for the semiconductor industry automatic handling, intelligent movement and storage and other vacuum (clean) robots, explosion-proof civil explosives production robots, AGV, unmanned forklifts, sorting, packaging and other logistics robots, Large-load, lightweight, flexible, double-arm, mobile and other collaborative robots for 3C, auto parts and other fields can move anywhere in the working area of transfer, grinding, assembly, etc., realize any position and attitude in space, and have flexible grasping and operation capabilities.

Analysis of the global industrial robot market size

According to the International Federation of Robotics, the number of industrial robots in the world has now reached a record high of 3.5 million. Robots have been widely used in industries such as automobiles, electronics, metal products, plastics and chemical products. The global robotics market is expected to reach $51.3 billion in 2022, with an average annual growth rate of 14% from 2017 to 2022. Among them, the market size of industrial robots will reach 19.5 billion US dollars. It is estimated that by 2024, the global robot market size is expected to exceed $65 billion.

Analysis of the scale of China's industrial robot industry

In the past ten years, with the widespread application of robots in the manufacturing industry, the scale of China's industrial robot industry has grown rapidly. In 2021, the output of industrial robots in China will reach 366,000 units, an increase of 10 times compared with 2015, and the market size will rank first in the world. Industrial robots are widely used in electronics, logistics, chemical and other industrial fields, greatly improving production efficiency, safety and intelligence level.

According to the analysis of the "2022-2027 China Industrial Robot Industry Market Panorama Research and Development Prospect Forecast Report" of the China Research Industry Research Institute:

In the past decade, China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry has also developed by leaps and bounds. Large shield machines have become a powerful tool for the construction of subways, highways and tunnels, accounting for two-thirds of the global market share. The "Fuxing" high-speed railway, with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, has become a shining business card made in China. In the past ten years, the added value of China's manufacturing industry has increased from 16.98 trillion yuan to 31.4 trillion yuan, accounting for nearly 30% of the world's total, ranking first in the world. Among the 500 major industrial products, more than 40% of China's products rank first in the world, and the comprehensive strength of the manufacturing industry has been greatly improved.

Analysis of the distribution of industrial robot enterprises

At present, the number of domestic industrial robot manufacturers is growing sharply. According to Tianyancha data, as of now, the number of industrial robot-related enterprises in China has exceeded 114,000.

Industrial robot enterprises are gathered in the eastern coastal areas, of which the number of industrial robot-related enterprises in Guangdong is the largest at 34,000, Jiangsu Province and Shandong Province rank second and third, and industrial robot-related enterprises are 32,200 and 17,300. The number of industrial robot-related enterprises in Zhejiang Province and Shanghai exceeds 10,000, with 14,900 and 10,500 respectively. Fujian Province, Anhui Province, Shaanxi Province, Sichuan Province, and Hubei Province entered the top 10, ranking 4-10 in turn.

In the future, the industrial robot industry will give birth to world-class enterprises in a new round of industrial opportunities, the technology gap at home and abroad will gradually narrow, the R&D system will gradually become complete, the key components technology will break through, and the market share will be more concentrated. With the continuous innovation of robot process design and the use of new materials, industrial robots will be more intelligent and flexible in the future, that is, they will be optimized from traditional robots to integrated robots.
