China's industrial robots have formed four industrial clusters in the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the central and western regions. The robot industry in the Yangtze River Delta region has developed earlier, with strong strength and high level of development. The four major families, domestic leading enterprises and scientific research institutions are all distributed here. The control system of the Pearl River Delta region has an advantage. Guangzhou CNC is a leading supplier of CNC machine systems for professional complete sets of machine tools. The annual output and sales of CNC systems account for 1/2 of the domestic market for similar products. In addition, the coastal economically developed regions are the main markets for domestic industrial robots. The Pearl River Delta region has a large market application space. The Bohai Rim region is represented by Beijing, Harbin and Shenyang. It has strong scientific research strength and many research institutions. The domestic representative enterprises include Shenyang Xinsong, Harbin Institute of Technology Robots, and Habo Shi, all of which are leading enterprises in the industry. Leading enterprises have obvious traction effects. The robot industry in the central and western regions started late, but after years of unwillingness, in recent years, with the help of external scientific and technological resources, the development momentum is strong, the industry leader Eft has grown stronger from scratch, and the backbone enterprises have also developed rapidly; Local research resources are slightly insufficient.

Regional distribution of industrial robots in China

China's robots have huge potential for future demand

　　The level of national economic and social development in China at this stage is similar to that in Japan in the early 1980s, and the demand for industrial robots is in an explosive period. The number of industrial robots used per 10,000 workers in the global manufacturing industry has increased from 50 to 5 units five years ago. The density of robots in industrialized countries has generally exceeded 200. The density of manufacturing robots in China has increased from 11 to 36 units five years ago. China's robot density is low but the growth rate is fast. The future industrial robot market has great potential, and demand will continue to maintain the blowout situation. It is estimated that by 2020, the number of industrial robots in China will be over 800,000, and the density of robots will be more than 150.

　　Since 2012, China has entered a period of rapid population aging. The “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period is the first peak of the elderly population in China. The number of elderly people over 60 will increase from 178 million to 221 million, and the proportion of the elderly population will increase from 13.3% to 16. %, this will make our elderly care services face great challenges. In addition, China is also a country with many disasters such as earthquakes and floods. These factors will make China hope to form the world's largest service robot market.

　　It is expected that in 2016, China's robot industry will still face a relatively complicated development situation. However, with the rapid rise of labor costs in China, the demographic dividend will gradually disappear, and the production mode will be flexible, intelligent and finely transformed, and a new type of manufacturing with intelligent manufacturing as the fundamental feature will be constructed. The system is imminent, and the new installed capacity of industrial robots in China is expected to continue to grow at a relatively fast rate. Given the 2015 data, it is expected to increase by about 20% year-on-year, which is lower than the 30% growth rate expected by the White Paper. Application areas and regions will also continue to expand. With the continuous implementation of key post robot replacement engineering, safety production (no) specialization project and new application demonstration policy, the application field of industrial robots is expected to extend to the labor-intensive textile and logistics industry and the high-risk national defense. Military, civilian explosion industry, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, food and other industries that require high cleanliness of production environment, as well as ceramics, bricks and other industries that endanger human health. With the accelerated development of China's western development, the revitalization of the Northeast, the rise of the central region, and the overall regional development strategy in the east, the use of industrial robots in the central and western regions will continue to grow, and the high-end manufacturing concentration areas such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta will also be more Use industrial robots more.

　　Domestic Internet companies actively enter the field of service robots

　　In recent years, domestic Internet companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, and Xiaomi have entered the robotics industry. Compared with industrial robots, domestic Internet giants are more interested in the field of investment service robots. In April 2015, Alibaba Group announced that it will cooperate with Foxconn to invest in SBRH, a subsidiary of Japan's Softbank Group, to promote the launch of its first emotional robotic product “Pepper”. In June 2015, domestic balance car manufacturer Naunbo won the investment of 80 million US dollars from Xiaomi Technology, Sequoia Capital, Shunwei Capital and Huashan Capital, and successfully acquired the Segway, the originator of the balance car, to become the world's most Influential leading brand in the intelligent short-distance transportation industry. In December 2015, Keda Xunfei Co., Ltd. strategically invested in Shenzhen Youbike Technology Co., Ltd., which greatly promoted the promotion and application of Keda Xunfei intelligent voice technology.

Recognize our robots

Industrial development challenges

China is a major robotic seller rather than a producer

Japan, South Korea and Germany are major producers and sellers of industrial robots, and their holdings and annual additions are among the highest in the world. In 2014, the market size of robots in Japan, South Korea and Germany was 29,000 units, 21,000 units and 20,000 units respectively. The sum of the three countries' markets accounted for 30.9% of the world's total, down from 36.3% in 2013. Japanese robot manufacturers are internationally competitive and occupy two seats in the four major families of robot manufacturers worldwide. In 2013, the number of robots in Japan, Korea, and Germany was 304,000 units, 156,000 units, and 168,000 units. The density of robots in Korea and Japan ranks among the top two in the world. In 2013, there were 437 industrial robots per 10,000 workers in Korea and 323 in Japan. In contrast, China is a major seller of industrial robots rather than a producer. In 2015, the number of new robots in China was 66,000, of which 22,000 were domestically produced self-owned brands, and the first domestic market share exceeded 30%.

Strategic deployment of developed countries　

Developed countries have strategically placed the robot industry

The development of the robot industry in developed countries has its own characteristics. The United States has advantages in system integration, medical robots, and defense military robots. The EU is a leader in the field of industrial robots and medical robots. Japan has a global advantage in robot production, applications, supply of major components and research. Although the Korean robot industry started late, relying on industries such as automobiles and electronics, the industrial competitiveness has rapidly increased. In recent years, in order to maintain the existing advantages and further development of the robot industry, developed countries have carried out strategic deployment.
