On September 6, Guo Shougang, Deputy Director-General of the First Division of Equipment Industry at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that China’s robotics industry has been growing rapidly, with the entire industry’s total business revenue exceeding 130 billion yuan in 2021. Among them, industrial robot production reached 366,000 units, a tenfold increase compared to 2015, firmly establishing China as the world’s largest industrial robot market.
Robots are hailed as the “pearl atop the crown of manufacturing,” and their research and development, manufacturing, and application serve as important indicators for measuring a country’s level of scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing. China’s robotics industry is thriving, profoundly transforming people’s production and lifestyles and injecting strong momentum into economic and social development.
China's robotics market continues to grow rapidly.
China attaches great importance to the development of robotics technology and industry. The robotics market continues to grow rapidly, and robotics companies are steadily expanding and thriving. A relatively complete robotics industrial chain has now taken shape. Meanwhile, “Robotics Plus” applications are continuously expanding and deepening, and the industry as a whole is demonstrating a vibrant and promising development trend.
China’s robotics market continues to thrive, serving as a key driver for the development of the robotics industry in the post-pandemic era. It is projected that by 2022, China’s robotics market will reach US$17.4 billion, with an average annual growth rate of 22% over the next five years. Specifically, in 2022, the industrial robotics market is expected to reach US$8.7 billion, the service robotics market US$6.5 billion, and the specialized robotics market US$2.2 billion.
Among these factors, driven by a combination of domestically introduced intensive policies and an increasingly mature market, industrial robot sales have surged rapidly. In addition to the two sectors—automotive and 3C electronics—which exhibit the strongest demand, application markets such as chemicals and petroleum are gradually opening up. As China has been the country best at controlling the pandemic, the development of industrial robots continues to show positive momentum, making it the primary engine driving the growth of the robotics industry.
As the trend of population aging accelerates and sustained strong demand continues to drive growth in the construction and education sectors, China’s service robot market holds enormous potential and room for development, making it a particularly promising area within the robotics market. In 2022, China’s service robot market experienced rapid growth, with demand from sectors such as education and public services serving as the primary driving force.
How to Continuously Improve and Expand China’s Robotics Industry Ecosystem
First, we must broaden the scope of robotics applications. Focusing on industrial robots for sectors such as automotive, machinery, electronics, chemical engineering, and light industry; service robots for healthcare, home services, education, and entertainment; and specialized robots for defense, coal mining, deep-sea exploration, and polar regions, we should develop robotic products and solutions tailored to specific scenarios. We will launch initiatives to enhance the quality of industrial products by expanding product variety, improving product quality, and building strong brands. Through pilot demonstrations, we will promote the development of products toward higher value-added segments of the industrial chain and accelerate the transition of robotics toward the mid-to-high end.
In addition, we need to promote the application of robotics in specialized fields. Focusing on the distinctive features and key application areas of regional robotics development, we should tailor our efforts to local conditions and implement a batch of exemplary industry demonstration projects that deliver remarkable results, exert strong driving effects, and exhibit high levels of interconnection. This will guide enterprises to gradually roll out and popularize robotic technologies across various sub-sectors in a phased and tiered manner. For specific sub-sectors characterized by high demand, stringent environmental requirements, and intense labor intensity, we should prioritize key areas and foster the integrated development of robotics with next-generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence and 5G. This will enhance the interoperability of information and data among robotic devices, and nurture system integrators and comprehensive solution providers specializing in robotic applications within these key sectors.
