By the end of 2013, the number of industrial robots in China was 124,000, ranking the second only to Japan in global. With the largest labor force market in world, the development space of robot is huge in China.
The use density of industrial robot in China is far lower than the average level in global, especially lower than Japan, South Korea and Germany etc developed countries. For instance, the use intensity of industry robot in South Korea is the highest in world, up to 396/10,000 persons, followed by 339/10,000 persons in Japan, and 267/10,000 persons in Germany, while, in China, it is only 23/10,000 persons, less than half of international average level (58). At the industrial robot application in China accounts for 6.4%, while in Japan, America, Germany and South Korea are 26.6%, 13.8%, 13.6% and 10.8% respectively. The vast gap with the developed countries means the huge development potential of industrial robot market in China.
Seeing from the mechanical structures, in 2013, the main robots sold by Chinese enterprises are coordinate-type robots, accounting for 40% in total types and exceeding the total amount of the same type robots sold by foreign-fund enterprises in China. The foreign-fund enterprises mainly sold the multi-joint robots, accounting for 80% of their total sales in China. At present, the purchase amount of industrial robots in China accounts for 20% of the total sales in global. In 2013, Japan purchased 26,015 industrial robots, and America purchased 23,679, ranking the third in world.
In 2008-2013, the average annual growth rate of import volume of industrial robot reached as high as 36%. The growth of robot market in China was the fastest, and the market scale was far larger than the second and third largest markets.
After throughout the decline in 2009, in recent years, the industrial robot market in China has maintained strong growth all the time. In 2012, the market scale in China reached CNY 7.99 billion, and will increase to CNY 8.83 billion in 2018 with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%.
