A brief description of the market space of industrial robots in China

In the coming years, with the development of China's manufacturing industry, especially the development of automobile and auto parts manufacturing, it is expected that the assembly volume of industrial robots will increase steadily. At the same time, consistent with the international industrial robot market development law, the industrial robot application field is gradually extending to the electronic information industry and construction, mining and other fields, providing a broad market development space for industrial robots.

Automotive Manufacturing

(Automotive Industry Promotion Plan) proposed that from January 20 to December 31, 2009, vehicle purchase tax should be levied at a rate of 5% for passenger cars with a displacement of 1.6 liters or less. After the issuance of the policy, the production and sales volume of passenger cars with a 1.6-liter or less variety showed a relatively rapid growth, especially the cross-sector growth and the year-on-year growth of production and sales of crossover passenger cars, which was significantly better than other varieties.

During the three years from 2006 to 2008, China’s vehicle output reached 7,278,900 vehicles, 8,887,700 vehicles, and 9,329,600 vehicles, respectively, with an average annual growth rate of 13.5 percent. In the first half of 2009, China’s automobile production and sales market achieved impressive results. From March to June 2009, the monthly sales volume of over 1 million vehicles was continuously realized. From April to June 2009, the monthly sales volume of over 1.1 million vehicles was continuously realized, a new record in history. The year-on-year growth rates of production and sales in the second quarter of 2009 were 27.84% and 31.59% respectively, and the quarter-on-quarter growth rates were 33.46% and 20% respectively. 7.73. From January to June of 2009, China's automobile production and sales completed 5,977,700 vehicles and 6,081,100 vehicles respectively, an increase of 15.09% and 17.66% over the same period of last year, compared with January to May. The increase increased by 4.35 and 3.63 percentage points respectively. It is expected that the demand for the Chinese auto market will continue to grow rapidly in the coming years.

Electronic Information Industry

In addition to the automotive industry, China’s electronic information industry has also maintained a stable development. In recent years, under the guidance of the domestic market and industrial policies, a number of large-scale integrated circuit investment projects have been launched. In 2008, large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing projects in Shanghai, Wuxi, Wuhan, Chongqing, Dalian, Shenzhen, and other cities all started or went into production. Many companies in the packaging and testing industry continued to expand production. In 2008, China’s IC design industry achieved a sales revenue of 21.74 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16%. However, due to the international financial crisis, the growth rate dropped significantly. In order to cope with the current unfavorable situation, the state will increase its support for the IC industry, improve the industrial policy environment, and accelerate the issuance (encouraging policies to further promote the development of the software and integrated circuit industries). It is predicted that China will become the world's second largest semiconductor integrated circuit industrial country in 2010. The total demand for integrated circuits will reach more than 1,000 billion, and more than 30 new production lines will be needed to provide clean (vacuum) robots for the company.

Application in other fields

In addition, the scale expansion and technological upgrading of China's construction industry, mining industry, railway and public construction, hydraulic engineering construction and construction machinery, construction machinery and other manufacturing industries will also promote the industrial robot industry. The structural parts of construction and engineering machinery are mostly welded parts. Welding through industrial robots can improve the welding quality and efficiency and meet the market demand.

In summary, it is expected that China's industrial robots will maintain a stable growth momentum in the next few years. It is estimated that China will install 9,500 new industrial robots in 2011, and the market will reach 48,600 units.
