Industrial robots are not only the key supporting equipment for advanced manufacturing, but also an important entry point for improving the human lifestyle. Its R&D and industrial application are important indicators to measure a country's technological innovation and high-end manufacturing development level. Vigorously develop the industrial robot industry, It is of great significance for China to create new advantages, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, accelerate the construction of a strong country, and improve people's living standards. In recent years, as the state's support for industrial robots continues to increase, local companies are not promoting technological innovation, especially with key Technical accumulation of sexual components, domestic robotics companies are actively occupying the market.
Industrial robot market continues to climb
China's industrial robot market is developing rapidly, accounting for about one-third of the global market share. It is the world's largest industrial robot application market. In 2017, China's industrial robots maintained rapid growth, and the industrial robot market was about US$4.22 billion, a year-on-year increase. 24%. In the first half of 2018, China's industrial robot market reached 5.22 billion US dollars. At present, the demand for intelligent transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry is increasingly prominent, and the market demand for industrial robots is still strong. According to IFR, China's industrial robot sales in 2018 It will exceed 150,000 units and the market size will reach 6.23 billion US dollars.
The handling of loading and unloading robots accounts for a huge proportion
According to the type of application, in the first half of 2018, the loading and unloading robots in the domestic market accounted for a large proportion, up to 65%, followed by assembly robots, accounting for 15%, which was higher than welding robots by 6 percentage points. By product type, 2017 The annual sales volume of articulated robots is over 60%, which is the most important product type in the domestic market. Secondly, it is a Cartesian robot and a SCARA robot. In recent years, the sales volume ratio of the two is gradually expanding, and the rising speed is higher than other types of robots. Products. The application of robots in the automotive industry is still growing. The increase in the application rate in the assembly field is a bright spot in the Chinese industrial robot market in 2017.
Industrial robot production and sales double growth
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in recent years, the output of industrial robots in China has achieved rapid growth. In 2017, the output of industrial robots in China was 133,100 units (sets), an increase of 81.0%. In the first half of 2018, the output of industrial robots reached 73,800 units. Robot manufacturers are actively expanding production capacity, and capacity capacity is expected to accelerate the localization process in the future. Faced with strong demand, China's major industrial robot manufacturers have actively raised investment projects to expand production capacity and cope with huge capacity shortages in the future.
In fact, compared with the small and medium-sized enterprises in the previous two years, the rise of leading enterprises in China's robot industry in 2017, the industrial robot industry has opened up the scale effect, and service robots have entered a period of rapid development. Specifically, AGV, Human-machine, home robots and other fields have risen in leading enterprises, such as the 'ontology + system integration' field of leading industries such as 3C and logistics. Representative companies include Leibai Technology, Zhongke Derui, etc.; controllers, servo motors, etc. The key parts and components enterprises of robots have developed rapidly, making up for the gaps in the industry. Excellent enterprises such as Leisai Intelligent and Solid High-tech have emerged, but the scale of the reducer will take time; the representative enterprises in the service robot industry segmentation field are Shenzhou Yunhai. , Zhongzhi Kechuang and so on.
The 'robot revolution' is called the entry point and important growth point of the 'third industrial revolution', which will affect the global manufacturing pattern. In order to seize the international commanding heights of the new generation of industrial robots, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance jointly released the development of the robot industry. The plan proposes to provide better development opportunities for China's robot industry, enhance the independent innovation capability of enterprises, break through cutting-edge technologies and key technologies such as new materials, new sensing, intelligent control, and accelerate the technological development and prototype production of a new generation of industrial robots.
At present, China attaches great importance to intelligent manufacturing and robots. It promotes the development of the robot industry in many sectors. It promotes the development of the self-owned brand robot industry from the aspects of top-level design, demonstration application, and talent cultivation. The support policies are more comprehensive and detailed. It has clearly put forward the 'high-end CNC machine tools and robots' as one of the key areas for vigorous promotion. It is proposed that the development of the robot industry should be based on industrial robot applications such as automobile, machinery, electronics, dangerous goods manufacturing, chemical industry, light industry, etc. Standardization, modular development, expanding market applications. Breaking through the technical bottlenecks of key components and system integration design and manufacturing technologies such as robot body, reducer, servo motor, controller, sensor and driver. ' These have broken the technical bottleneck for Chinese robot companies. Improving the industrialization capacity will greatly promote the role. At the same time, it is clear in the key technical fields that the development of China's robot industry is mainly focused on two directions: developing industrial robots and key components and serial products, and promoting the industrial robot industry. And application to meet the transformation of China's manufacturing industry Level urgent needs; key technology breakthrough intelligent robots, intelligent robots develop a number of actively respond to the new round of technological revolution and industrial revolution challenges.
China has become the largest consumer market for industrial robots in the world for five consecutive years. China's industrial robot market is entering an accelerated growth stage. In 2012-2017, China's industrial robot sales increased steadily. In 2012, domestic industrial robot sales only 23,000 units; to 2017 In the year, the sales volume of industrial robots in China reached 138,000 units, an increase of nearly 5 times. China has great potential to improve the level of industrial robotization. Automobiles, high-end equipment manufacturing and electronics industry are the main users of industrial robots.
