The report summarizes the industry developments of industry, services and specialty robots in recent years.
Industrial robot field: handling loading and unloading robots currently account for the highest proportion
In the
field of industrial robots, China accounts for about one-third of the
global market share and is the world's largest industrial robot
application market.
The report
predicts that with the domestically produced replacement of the three
core components of China-made collaborative robots, and with the
advantage of lower product prices, local companies are expected to
achieve cornering overtaking in the market competition.
Medical, cleaning, and entertainment robots are currently the three hot spots
In the field of
service robots, the report analyzes that due to the accelerated
population aging trend and the continued strong demand for medical and
educational services, China has huge market potential and development
space in this field.
Since 2015, the
annual growth rate of service robot enterprises has slowed down, and
some enterprises have to withdraw from competition due to lack of
capital or core technology support. At the same
time, scarce and high-growth companies are still sought after by markets
and capital, such as logistics robots, educational robots and medical
robots.
As of July 2017, the number of
domestic service robot patents has reached 24,094. From the perspective
of patent layout, medical robots have the most active technological
innovations, followed by cleaning and entertainment robots.
Special robotics field: The market size is expected to reach 1.07 billion US dollars in 2020
Special robots have
achieved rapid development because they can replace human beings in
fire, disaster relief, and security in more complex environments. According
to the report, the current special robots already have a certain level
of autonomous intelligence. Through the comprehensive use of sensors
such as vision and pressure, and continuous optimization of control
algorithms, tasks such as positioning, navigation, obstacle avoidance,
and tracking can be accomplished.
According
to the data in the report, the emergency rescue robots in the special
robot market segment account for 32% and 8% of the global and Chinese
special robot market respectively. It can be seen that China's emergency
rescue robots still have great market development potential.
