As the "pearl at the top of the manufacturing crown", many cities are currently seizing the opportunity for the booming development of the robot industry, continuously expanding the "cake" of the industry, and promoting the emergence of a large number of "robot+" scenarios.
According to Zijinshan Observation, from January to July, the production of industrial robots in Nanjing increased by 28.1% year-on-year, driving the continuous growth of high-tech manufacturing industry. The cumulative output value increased by 3.4% year-on-year, which is 2.9 percentage points faster than the growth rate of the city's industrial output value above designated size.
According to China Robotics Web, Nanjing is currently making the robotics industry a focus of technological competition and intensifying its planning and layout.
Statistics show that there are nearly a hundred enterprises involved in robot research and production in Nanjing, mainly concentrated in areas and sectors such as Jiangning Development Zone, Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Qilin High tech Zone, and Jiangbei New Area Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park. Their technological progress is constantly changing people's production and lifestyle, and they have become a new force driving high-quality development in Nanjing.
Industrial robots are the main force of Nanjing's robotics industry. Nanjing Robotics Enterprise is involved in the manufacturing of key components such as servo motors and controllers, robot body manufacturing, system integration, and cutting-edge robotics technology. In recent years, the research and development and production of service robots in Nanjing have shown an increasing trend year by year. In the field of special robots, Nanjing has relied on investment policies in relevant parks and functional sectors, as well as project incubation by new research and development institutions, to emerge a batch of innovative technology enterprises, distributed in multiple links such as chips, sensors, human-computer interaction technology, and product applications.
Among them, Nanjing's leading enterprise in the field of industrial robots, Eston, as a leading brand in China's robotics industry, focuses on automation core components and motion control, robotics and intelligent manufacturing systems, providing intelligent and complete solutions for segmented industries such as new energy, hardware, 3C electronics, automotive industry, packaging logistics, building materials and furniture, metal processing, engineering machinery, welding, etc., and promoting the transformation and development of various industries.
Since 2013, China has ascended to the throne of the world's largest industrial robot market and has never come down again. Not only Nanjing, but also various regions in China attach great importance to the robot industry and have introduced various incentive policies to support its development.
The cyclical performance of the Chinese industrial automation market over the past decade has been relatively evident, with the acceleration of domestic substitution. The market driving force is transitioning from the traditional industry's new production capacity to the joint drive of stock upgrading and new production capacity. In the first half of 2023, the automation industry market as a whole is still in the recovery stage due to macroeconomic downturn, sustained sluggish industry demand, weak exports, and cyclical decline in the industry.
With the rapid development of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry and the continuous expansion of downstream application fields, the national macroeconomic regulation efforts have increased, and both domestic and external demand have rebounded. The automation industry is expected to usher in a new round of prosperity and upward cycle.
