New energy automotive industry's largest thermal industrial robot applications

With the maturity of the automotive industry market, the general industry will gradually become a new market competing with major industrial robot manufacturers. Therefore, the automotive industry is the largest application area of ​​industrial robots, the proportion of the application market is 38%, the proportion of the electronic industry At 18.1%, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Beijing and other places are the areas where China's industrial robot industry is mainly concentrated. The number of industrial robots in the country accounts for half of the national industrial robot market.

Due to the increase in labor costs and the need for industrial transformation and upgrading, China’s industrial robots have shown significant growth since 2010, and sales growth has remained at a high level of 20%-50% since then.

Growth factors

Industrial robots refer to multi-joint manipulators or multi-degrees of freedom machine devices that can work intelligently under the control of humans and can perfectly replace manpower in the production line. Compared with manpower, industrial robots have low cost, high efficiency, and 24 Hours work features.

1. The degree of domestic autonomy in many areas is increasing.

2. Increased labor costs and large potential for machine substitution.

3, the actual needs of the harsh operating environment.

4. National policies also contribute to the development of the robotics industry.

According to preliminary statistical data of IFR, the sales volume of industrial robots in China reached 90,000 units in 2016, an increase of 31.28% from 2015, which is significantly higher than the sales growth of 14% of global industrial robots, of which the sales volume of Chinese industrial robots accounted for the proportion of global sales volume reached 31 %. The demand for industrial robots in China has grown significantly and has become an important global market.

At present, the demand for industrial robots is still highly dependent on imports. The annual import volume is often higher than the current year's sales. However, in 2015, the data show that the import volume is 46,700 units which is lower than the current sales volume of 68,500 units. It can be seen that the industrial robots produced independently in China are gradually getting Market recognition.

In 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Guidance Opinion on Promoting the Development of Industrial Robot Industry” and proposed that the robot density reach 100 by 2020. It is expected that by 2020, China’s industrial robots will have 500,000 units of demand space, which will be estimated at an average annual rate of 100,000 units and an average price of 100,000 units/set. Without considering export, the market space for domestic industrial robots will not be considered. There are 10 billion annual conservative estimates for the next five years.

The “Made in China 2025”, German Industry 4.0, and US Advanced Manufacturing National Strategic Plan all regard smart manufacturing as the main attack direction, accelerate the transformation of information technology to traditional industries through intelligent manufacturing, and achieve transformation and upgrading, and robotics is the core technology of intelligent manufacturing. .
