China has become the world's largest industrial robot application country for nine consecutive years, and it is also the world's largest robot producer, with a revenue of more than 2022 billion yuan (RMB, the same below) in the robot industry in 1700. With the implementation of the "Robot +" Application Action Implementation Plan, the depth and breadth of robot applications have accelerated.

The installed capacity of industrial robots exceeds 50% of the world

At the 2023 "Robot +" conference held this week, Wang Hong, deputy director of the First Department of Equipment Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, introduced that in 2022, the operating income of China's robot industry will exceed 1700 billion yuan, the output of industrial robots will reach 44,3 sets, the output of service robots will exceed 645.8 million sets, and the installed capacity of industrial robots will exceed 50% of the global total, ranking first in the world for nine consecutive years.

"The global industrial robot market is now in the second round of high-speed growth, and the average annual growth rate of industrial robot market sales in the past ten years is 12%, and that of China is 28%, which is more than twice the global growth rate," Chen Dan, deputy secretary-general of the Robot Branch of the China Machinery Industry Federation, introduced.

By 2021, the density of China's manufacturing robots will reach 322 units per 2015,25 people. Chen Dan said that China's manufacturing machine density rose from 2021th in 5 to <>th in <>, surpassing the United States, but there is still a big gap from South Korea and Singapore, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

The industrial chain system is basically established

China is also the world's largest producer of robots. Liu Quan, deputy chief engineer of the China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute, said that China's robot industry chain system has been basically established, and single champion enterprises in the field of robotics and specialized and special new "little giant" enterprises have competed to appear.

Wang Hong said that China's robot innovation ability continues to improve, high-precision reducers, intelligent controllers and other core components have made breakthroughs, so that the output value has been continuously improved, and landmark products such as space robots, deep-sea robots, and medical robots have achieved important breakthroughs.

China's robot industry is moving from low-end to high-end. Zhao Jie, professor of Harbin Institute of Technology and director of the Institute of Robotics, believes that China's robot industry needs to take the road of high-end and high-quality development, which needs to take four capabilities as the starting point, namely, the ability to continuously supply the innovation foundation, the ability to independently control the common technology of core basic components, the ability to continuously improve the quality and application of major technical equipment, and the ability to support quality infrastructure services.

Accelerate the expansion of robot application depth and breadth

Manufacturing is an important area for robot applications. Chen Dan said that automotive and electronics are the most important application industries for robots, in addition to metal processing, plastics and chemicals, food manufacturing, mining, textiles demand for robots is also growing rapidly.

It is understood that China's industrial robots have covered 60 industry categories and 168 industries in the national economy, and service robots have been innovatively applied in logistics, education and entertainment, medical and health fields, and constantly giving birth to new industries, new models and new formats. In addition to industrial robots, China's service robots are increasingly widely used, special robots are deeply expanded, and robots have begun to enter all aspects of human life and society.

In 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other four departments announced 77 excellent robot application scenarios, covering agriculture, construction, medical care, mining and other fields. In January this year, the 1th department issued the "Robot +" Application Action Implementation Plan, proposing to focus on ten major areas of manufacturing, energy, trade logistics, and medical and health, and promote more than 200 typical application scenarios of robots with high-level innovative application models and wide application results.

At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating evolution, and a new generation of information technology, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, etc. is deeply integrated with robot technology. Wang Hong said that China's robot industry has ushered in a period of strategic opportunities for self-reliance and self-improvement, and it is urgent to accelerate the high-quality development path of technology "from excellent to excellent" and industry "from large to strong".
