Research Report on China’s Industrial Robot Industry, 2018-2022

The post Sample of Research Report on China’s Industrial Robot Industry, 2018-2022 first appeared on CRI Report.

Industrial robots are multi-joint manipulators or multi-degree-of-freedom machines for the industrial sector. They are widely used in the industries of automobiles, metal products, electronics, rubber, plastics, etc. In 2017, the global sales of industrial robots exceeded USD 14.7 billion, and the market size in China, Japan, South Korea, the U.S. and German accounted for over 70% of the global total.

According to CRI, from 2007 to 2017, the average wage in China’s manufacturing industry more than tripled. Many manufacturers cannot afford the rising labor costs. Affected by government policies, cost pressures and other factors, the production and sales volume of industrial robots in China are rising. In 2013, China became the world’s largest industrial robot market.

The sales volume of industrial robots (including automatic guided vehicles) in China reached 141,000 units in 2017, increasing by over 58% YOY. However, the current density of robots in China’s manufacturing industry is only about 5 per thousand people, far behind that in developed countries.

Due to high R&D costs, domestic enterprises are weak in the technologies of the core industrial robot components, which gives international robot giants strong bargaining power in the supply of the core components. In addition, international giants reduce their manufacturing costs by large-scale factory construction in China. Domestic enterprises are mostly small-sized and lack competitive strength.

At present, China-made industrial robots are mainly supplied to low-end markets. The high-end industrial robot market is still occupied by international giants. The Bohai Rim, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Central West China have become the major clusters of China’s industrial robot industry. Domestic industrial robot manufacturers are emerging.

Meanwhile, some Chinese enterprises have begun the acquisition of foreign industrial robot manufacturers to enhance their technologies and market share. For example, on Jan. 6, 2017, Midea Group (000333.SZ) announced that it had completed the acquisition of the shares of KUKA Aktiengesellschaft and had made full payment for the acquisition.

With the aging population and rising labor costs in China, low costs and high efficiency will open up the market for industrial robots.

As the government promotes the transformation and upgrade of manufacturing and encourages the development of industrial robots, traditional manufacturing industries such as the textile industry and the machinery industry as well as electronic manufacturing have become big growth drivers for the industrial robot market.

Moreover, with more mature technologies, domestic-made industrial robots are replacing imports and the market prices will continue to decline, which further stimulates Chinese enterprises’ demand for industrial robots. It is estimated that the CAGR of China’s industrial robot market will exceed 20% from 2018 to 2022, and the market size will exceed USD 5 billion in 2022.

Service robots are applied in non-manufacturing industries to serve people. They can be divided into personal, household and professional service robots by usage. Service robots are widely used in multiple fields such as home nursing, medical, logistics, cleaning, security, rescue, guardianship and military.

In contrast to industrial robots, service robots are closer to common consumers so the client groups are more extensive. Service robots possess similar properties to durable goods such as electronic and household appliance products. The service spots are diversified so service robots are rich both in varieties and functions accordingly. From this perspective, the market space of service robots is more extensive than that of industrial robots.

Labor costs in developed countries rise increasingly, and young people tend to be more reluctant to engage in low-end jobs such as cleaning, nursing and security. The insufficiency of such simple labors leads to huge market space for service robots.

With the improvement of economy and resident income, many people can afford purchasing service robots for household cleaning.

The global aging population results in a lot of problems and the demand of residents grows for social security, household services and nursing so service robots possess large development space as a favorable solution.

The upgrading of intelligent robots speeds up with more functions while the costs decline for the development of computers and microchips, which promotes the progress of the service robot industry.

The total sales volume of service robots exceeded 40,000 and that of personal together with household ones exceeded 5 million in the globe in 2015. Currently, there are hundreds of enterprises involved in the service robot field in the world. Among them, iRobot focuses on household service robots, Intuitive Surgical focuses on medical robots, Aldebaran SAS provides professional personal robots while Boston Dynamics mainly develops military robots. In recent years, giants such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Ali, Foxconn and Softbank started the layout in the service robot field for strategic advantages.

The information technology will deeply integrate with the service robot manufacturing industry. Meanwhile, service robots are expected to become a new generation of intelligent terminals as emerging consumption hotspots after computers and mobile phones.

Chinese government issued a series of supporting policies for the development of the service robot industry. In January 2015, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the Promotion Plan for Deep Integration of Informationization and Industrialization in Raw Material Industry (2015-2018) to support the development of the robot industry. In May 2015, the State Council issued specific plan of Made in China 2025, in which service robots play a significant role.

According to the history of the service robot industry, unmanned planes, iRobots and education robots will take the lead in development. The domestic robot industry develops rapidly in China presently and a number of local enterprises emerge such as Ecovacs, Xrobot and BONA. Education robot brands such as UBTECH and UNISROBO spring up with the accelerating industrialization as well.

In general, the service robot market is expected to maintain high-speed development in the next few years. Meanwhile, investment opportunities exist for investors in various related industries to the service robot industry chain.

The post Research Report on Service Robot Industry in China, 2017-2021 first appeared on CRI Report.

Robots can be divided into industrial robots, service robots and special robots by usage. Industrial robots include the robots, with mechanical arms currently, used for industrial production such as welding, spraying, palletizing, and carrying.

Industrial robot is the high-end intelligent equipment with the integrated system of interdisciplinary advanced technology such as machinery, electronics, control, computer, sensor, artificial intelligence.

Kuka, together with ABB, Yaskawa Electric Corporation and Fanuc are four giants in Industrial Robotics Industry. In recent years, they have invested to build production bases in China. ABB locates its headquarter of global robot project and one of the two production bases in Shanghai. Although some big international giants have set up production base in China, the core control and software deciding the robot’s performance still stay outside of China. Industrial robots are technology-intensive products with higher technical barriers.

The quantity of the global industrial robot installation was more than 230,000 units in 2015. The industrial robots mainly concentrated in the automobile, electronic and electric industry, rubber, plastics, metal industry and machinery.

International robot giants have vied for Chinese market in recent years, which leads to increasingly fierce domestic market competition.

Under the background of rising labor costs and increasingly fierce market competition, Chinese market’s demand for industrial robots is daily growing. From 2010 to 2015, the average new installation of industrial robots in China were more than 30,000 units.

With consumers’ level-up demand for product performance and quality, as well as rising labor price in China, China’s manufacturing industry is facing the increasing pressure on industrial transformation and upgrading. As a representative in the field of intelligent manufacturing, industrial robots are playing an increasingly important role in the process of industrial transformation and upgrading. China produced about 20,000 units of industrial robots in 2015, with more than 60% year-on-year growth, which was still unable to satisfy domestic demand. In 2014, China became the world’s largest market for industrial robots. The sales volume of industrial robots in China reached 75,000 units in 2015. By the end of 2016, the inventory of China’s industrial robots will be top of the world.

In view of the downstream application, automobile and electronics industry are the main application fields of industrial robots in China. The automobile industry which is the largest application field of industrial robots, accounting for more than 30%, is the application industry with the highest use density of robots.

With the development of Chinese factories’ automation, industrial robots also develop rapidly in other industrial sectors, such as electronics, rubber, plastics, military industry, aviation manufacturing, food industry, medical equipment, metal products, etc.

Chinese government introduced a series of policies to support the development of industrial robotics industry. Guidelines on Promoting the Industrial Robotics Industry released by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China in Dec. 2013 mentioned that density of robots (the quantity of robots used by 10,000 people) would reach 100 units by 2020. In Jan. 2015, MIIT released A Plan of Integrating Informationization and Industrialization of Raw Materials Industries (2015-2018) to continue to support the robots. In May 2015, the concrete planning of Made in China 2025 was released by the State Council, in which the industrial robots played a crucial part.

By the end of 2015, China’s inventory of industrial robots had been more than 250,000 units. It is expected that CAGR of annual installation of China’s industrial robots will surpass 20%.

Robots are needed to replace manual work in many mid-low labor-intensive industries in China. Thus, there is enormous room for growth of industrial robots. It is predicted that in the next few years, China’s mid-high end industrial robot market will still be occupied by the international giants. However, Chinese enterprises are expected to have access to market space in mid-low field.

Overall, China’s industrial robot market in the next few years will maintain its rapid development. For investors, there are investment opportunities in industries related to the industrial robotics industry chain.
