China's robot market may reach 3.3 billion U.S. dollars in the next five years

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and other three ministries jointly issued the "Robotic Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)", which laid out a clear blueprint for the development of China's robot industry during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. . By 2020, the annual output of industrial robots in China will reach 100,000 units, more than 50,000 robots with six or more axes, annual sales revenue of service robots will exceed 30 billion yuan, and more than 3 leading companies will be fostered to create more than 5 robot supporting industrial clusters. Industrial robots have an average time to failure of 80,000 hours...


From 36 to 150, there is a huge increase in space. "As a result of relevant policy support and industrial transformation and upgrading, our country's robotics industry has ushered in a period of rapid development in the past two years." Xin Guobin, Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology, said that since 2013, China has become the world's largest robot market for three consecutive years. In 2014, the industrial robot market in China grew by 54%, twice the global increase. In 2015, the output of industrial robots in China was 32,996 sets, a year-on-year increase of 21.7%. In the first quarter of this year, the output of industrial robots in China was 11,497 units, an increase of 19.9%.

Even so, China’s robot density in 2014 (average number of robots per 10,000 workers) was only 36, which was only half of the global average of 62, and it was even worse than the robot density of 478 in Korea and 292 in Germany in 2014. far. The "Robot Industry Development Plan" clearly stated that by 2020, the annual output of industrial robots in China will reach 100,000 units, and the key industries will achieve large-scale applications with a robot density of more than 150.

"Manufacturing is just one of the areas where robots are used on a large scale. A prediction released by McKinsey says that medical, defense, and service life will create a multi-trillion dollar robot market," said Song Xiaogang, secretary general of the China Robotics Industry Alliance.

According to Song Xiaogang, China’s service robots can basically be divided into three categories based on their needs. First, they help people solve social problems such as assisting the elderly, help the disabled, and medical rehabilitation; and second, they meet major national needs such as disaster relief, emergency rescue, exploration on the seabed, scientific investigation, and national defense. The third is to meet the needs of residents education and entertainment and smart home. "Planning" focuses on intelligent manufacturing, smart logistics, and the needs of smart life, modern services, and special operations. It clearly requires breakthroughs in the ten iconic products, including surgical robots, intelligent public service robots, and intelligent care robots.

High growth can hardly conceal the weakness of the industrial robot industry In 2014, China's own brand industrial robot sales reached 17,000 units, an increase of 78% over the previous year. In 2015, the sales volume of self-owned brand industrial robots was 22,257 units, an increase of 31.3% year-on-year. However, at the same time as the rapid growth, the risk of “hollowing” the core components of the robot industry, the application of low-end, and the marginalization of the mainstream market has attracted the attention of the industry.

"The core technologies of robots include core component design technology, programming process technology, control technology, and application operation technology; key components include drivers, servo systems, and high-precision speed reducers," said Qu Daofu, president of Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., Ltd. From the market point of view, there are three weaknesses in the development of China's industrial robots: one is a technically complex six-axis or more multi-joint robot, and foreign companies occupy about 90% of the total. The second is the welding field where the operation is difficult and the international application is the most widely used. Foreign robots account for 84%. The third is the high-end application of the automotive industry, foreign companies accounted for 90% of the share. Most of the production in China's enterprises are handling and palletizing robots, and applications are mostly concentrated in home appliances and metal manufacturing.

Xin Guobin believes that the new problems faced by the development of China's robotics industry are the breakthroughs in the key components of robots, but the lack of high-end products. At present, high-value reducers, servo motors, and controllers account for 70% of the value of industrial robots. The key components still rely on multinational companies. Second, some products are close to the world's advanced level, but the ability to innovate needs to be strengthened. Third, the rapid development of the robot industry around the country, but the hidden dangers of low-level redundant construction gradually emerged. The fourth is that leading enterprises are rising, but problems such as small, scattered and weak have not yet been fundamentally changed. Fifth, although third-party testing agencies have been established, the robot's standards, testing and certification systems need to be further improved.

What "nutrition recipes" is in the "planning"?

“To avoid the low-end risk of high-end industries and avoid low-level redundant construction, the “Planning” lists five major targeted tasks and refers directly to the weakness of China’s industrial robot industry.” Song Xiaogang said that promoting major iconic products to take the lead in breakthroughs and vigorous development The key components of robots, the strengthening of industrial infrastructure capabilities, the promotion of application demonstrations, and the active cultivating of leading enterprises can be said to be targeted “nutrition recipes” for the robotics industry in China.

Li Dong, deputy director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the National Robot Innovation Center, which integrates government, production, education, research, use, and integration, is being accelerated. At the same time, the Robotics Association, which aims to strengthen industry self-regulation and regulate the development of the industry, is also stepping up its establishment.
