Under the background of transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, China's industrial robot industry is facing a huge market space.
According to the China Robot Industry Development Report (2017) previously released, it is estimated that the scale of China's robot market will reach 6.28 billion U.S. dollars in 2017, while the global robot market will reach 23.2 billion yuan.
Driven by the dual policies and industries, the robot industry in our country led to the golden period of development. At the same time, the vast majority of the international market share of industrial robots was occupied by the 'four major families' of ABB, KUKA, FANUC and YASKAWA. The domestic industrial robots Accuracy, technology and other aspects still have not a small gap, the urgent need to find a new growth path in the core technology and industrial development.
At the recently-opened China International Expo, AOBO-i3, AUBO-i7 and AUBO-i10 are released by AOBO-i Technology Co., Ltd. with intelligent intellectual robots with independent intellectual property rights.
Wei Hongxing, Chairman of AoBo, said that the cooperative robots that realize nationalization and possess independent intellectual property rights have a high market price-to-performance ratio and can reduce the transformation and upgrade costs of small and medium sized manufacturing enterprises. In the long term, they have good market prospects.
For small and medium manufacturing enterprises
At present, the domestic robot market is high in popularity, but the entire industrial robot market is almost occupied by foreign brands.According to the latest data released by the International Robot Federation (IFR), global industrial robot sales reached 290,000 sets in 2016. China has continuously 5 years to become the world's largest market.
At the same time, the domestic market share of industrial robots is very low, making the domestic small and medium-sized robotics business survival and development of space is relatively small.Data show that in 2016 China's domestic industrial robot sales of 29,000 units, the market share of only 32.6% .
How to break through the market monopoly and technological blockade of international giants has become a key obstacle encountered by domestic robot enterprises when they become bigger and stronger.
All along, the international robot market is designed for manufacturing heavy, expensive and cumbersome robots, but in practical applications, not all industrial processes need large robots to extract heavy loads, more and more lightweight , Agile robotic arm began to take up the assembly and extraction work, the market began the growing demand for collaborative robots.
In this context, many domestic robot enterprises in the field of collaborative robot breakdown in the market saw a breakthrough in international giants 'encirclement', the path to business bigger and stronger survival.
Recently, at the just-opened China International Exposition, AOBO-i3, AUBO-i7 and AUBO-i10 smart robots with independent intellectual property rights were released by Aibo Technology Co., Ltd. The series of AoBo i series was launched domestically Of the first collaborative robot products, the intelligent collaborative robot with the same type, compared with the load of industrial robots, from the controller, software, operating system to algorithms are independent research and development, including control systems, servo systems and decelerators, etc. Aspects of the technical bottlenecks, the key components to achieve the national production.
In an interview with 21st Century Business Herald, Wei Hongxing, chairman of AOBO, pointed out that it is hard for domestic enterprises to have opportunities to design industrial robots according to the existing product system of international giants. At the same time, a large number of small and medium-sized domestic enterprises are facing the transformation And when the cost is very sensitive to upgrade, which provides the domestic robot company market space.
Wei Hongxing said that industrial collaborative robot is currently a new route in the robot market, which belongs to the next generation of robots.Compared with similar products from international giants, cooperative robots that realize nationalization and possess independent intellectual property rights have higher Market price, can reduce the transformation and upgrading costs of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, in the long run has a very good market prospects.
Favored by the capital market
Today, the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry under the concept of "Industry 4.0" has made industrial robots have a vast market space and artificial collaborative robots with independent intellectual property rights have become the target of capital. At the conference on the day, Fosun won the Group A round of 60 million yuan investment.
Tang Bin, senior vice president of Fosun Group, said that Fosun invested in this project. On the one hand, it sees great potential for collaborative robotics in industrial 4.0 and industrial upgrading. On the other hand, it is one of the few domestic companies in the international Fosun hopes to help these companies grow rapidly with a certain brand of collaborative robotics.
After gaining the support of capital, AOBO has developed a detailed plan for collaborative robot production research and development.According to the plan, AOBO smart plan in the next 3-5 years market share of 30%, in line with the growth rate of 100 % Or more, man-machine collaboration robot annual output will reach 30,000 units.
In fact, the field of robotics is becoming a hot spot for investment globally, and the investment and financing in the robotics industry in our country have been equally enthusiastic. The relevant statistics show that in 2016, the number of robotic financing cases in China reached 70 and 2016 The second and third quarter of the financing amount reached 308 million and 299 million US dollars, an increase of 37.49% and 26.26%.
So many robot financing cases are closely related to the potential of the industry.According to "China Robot Industry Development Report (2017)" is expected this year, China's robot market will reach 6.28 billion US dollars, the average growth from 2012 to 2017 At 28%, the global robot market will reach $ 23.2 billion this year with an average growth rate of 17% from 2012 to 2017.
Many experts interviewed said that the investment prospect of China's robot industry will break through the core technology bottleneck. The technological breakthrough of core components and the robot with independent intellectual property rights will be more favored by the capital market in the future, including industrial robots.
