Multi-dimensional analysis of the future application increase of industrial robots in recent years

In recent years, the persistent impact of global and domestic epidemics has profoundly exposed the vulnerability of enterprise employment and accelerated the pace of manufacturing industry's transformation to automation and intelligence. In this context, China's industrial robot industry has ushered in an unprecedented development opportunity, and its future development prospects show strong growth momentum in multiple dimensions.

First, the policy dividend continued to be released, escorting the development of the industrial robot industry

In order to promote the high-quality development of manufacturing industry, the Chinese government and relevant departments have intensively introduced a series of policies and measures to encourage and support the development of industrial robot industry. In particular, the release of "Robot+"Application Action Implementation Plan clearly puts forward specific goals such as increasing the density of manufacturing robots, breaking through innovative application technologies and solutions, and popularizing typical application scenarios by 2025, which provides a clear development path and policy support for the industrial robot industry. The implementation of these policies not only promoted the innovation and application of industrial robot technology, but also laid a solid foundation for the rapid growth of its market.

Second, technological changes lead to the acceleration of the localization process of industrial robots

With the rapid development of intelligent technologies such as speech recognition, machine vision, machine learning, automatic navigation and positioning, the capabilities of industrial robots in perception, decision-making and execution have been significantly improved. At the same time, the deep integration of 5G communication technology, big data, cloud computing and AI technology has further promoted the intelligent and networked transformation of industrial robots. In addition, China's breakthroughs in key technologies and components such as motion control, high-performance servo drive and high-precision reducer have significantly enhanced the overall function and performance of domestic industrial robots. In the future, with the increasing demand for man-machine collaboration, cooperative robots will become the focus of market attention, further promoting the popularization and application of industrial robots.

Third, the downstream application fields continued to expand and the market capacity continued to expand.

China, as an outstanding manufacturing country in the world, has a huge market demand for industrial robots. With the vigorous development of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, medical care, semiconductors and other emerging industries, the demand for industrial robots in these fields continues to grow. At the same time, 3C, logistics and warehousing, smart home and other traditional and emerging fields are constantly expanding the application scenarios of industrial robots. This diversified demand structure not only promotes the expansion of the industrial robot market, but also provides a broad space for its future development.

Fourth, rising labor costs force enterprises to accelerate "machine substitution"

Under the background of declining labor population and deepening aging, the manufacturing industry is facing the dual pressures of labor shortage and rising labor costs. This forces enterprises to accelerate the transformation to automation and intelligence, and reduce labor costs and improve production efficiency by introducing industrial robots. With the continuous progress of industrial robot technology and the gradual reduction of cost, more and more enterprises begin to adopt industrial robots instead of traditional manual operation, which further promotes the growth of industrial robot market.

V. Industrial structure transformation accelerates the demand growth of industrial robots

The transformation and upgrading of industrial structure in China is accelerating, and the proportion of high-end manufacturing industry is increasing. This trend puts forward higher requirements for robot automation, especially in accuracy and stability. With its advantages of high precision, high efficiency and high stability, industrial robots have become an important support for the transformation and upgrading of high-end manufacturing industries. With the continuous optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, the industrial robot market will usher in a broader development space.

Future prospect of CIB

Considering the downstream industry demand, demographic changes, technological progress and policy support, CIB thinks that the future development prospect of industrial robots in China is very optimistic. Although the short-term market growth rate may be affected by uncertain factors such as global economic fluctuations, in the long run, the industrial robot market will maintain a steady growth trend. It is estimated that by 2024, the market scale of industrial robots in China is expected to exceed the $11.5 billion mark, and its share in the global market will further expand to over 50%. With the continuous progress of industrial robot technology and the continuous expansion of its application fields, it will play a more important role in promoting the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry and realizing economic transformation and upgrading.
