From January to November 2022, China imported 10000 unlisted industrial robots, with an import amount of US $40 million; The number of multi-functional industrial robots imported was 96000, far higher than the import amount of unlisted industrial robots, with an import amount of 1.21 billion US dollars, far higher than the import amount of unlisted industrial robots.
From the perspective of average import and export prices, the average import price of Chinese industrial robots is far greater than the average export price. From January to November 2022, the average export price of Chinese industrial robots was 25850.3 US dollars per unit, while the average import price was 128866 US dollars per unit.
From January to November 2022, the top 5 regions in Chinese industrial robot export value were South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Germany, and the Russian Federation, with export values of 42641000 US dollars, 28.709 million US dollars, 24.298 million US dollars, 22.272 million US dollars, and 21.983 million US dollars respectively.
From the perspective of import value, Japan is the largest importer of industrial robots in China. From January to November 2022, China imported industrial robots from Japan at $954.277 million, accounting for 77% of the total import value, and imported industrial robots from Germany at $74.797 million, accounting for 6% of the total import value.
It is expected that the global robot market will reach US $51.3 billion in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 14% from 2017 to 2022. The industrial robot market will reach 19.5 billion US dollars. It is expected that by 2024, the global robot market is expected to exceed $65 billion. Among them, the scale of the industrial robot market has reached a record high, and robots have been widely used in industries such as automobiles, electronics, metal products, plastics, and chemical products. According to IFR statistics, it is expected that the industrial robot market will reach 19.5 billion US dollars by 2022; It is expected to reach $23 billion in 2024.
Manufacturing robot density doubled compared to 2020
According to data, the density of robots in Chinese manufacturing industry in 2020 will be 246 units per 10,000 people, which also means that it will reach about 500 units per 10000 people by 2025, doubling.
The plan also pointed out that the selection of key areas with a certain foundation, wide application coverage, and strong radiative driving effect should be promoted. Judging from the current development of the robot industry, segmentation scenarios such as manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, and special environments have accumulated considerable scale and depth of robot applications, effectively replacing manual labor and improving work efficiency.
At present, the trend of machine substitution in some fields is clear, which will effectively alleviate the downward pressure on the population.
According to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics in January 2023, the national population decreased by 850,000 by the end of 2022 compared to the same period last year. In the future, with changes in the per capita education background and population structure, more and more jobs will be replaced by robots.
Industrial robots have three core components: servo motors, controllers, and reducers, which are also the main cost of robot production, and have become one of the main reasons restricting the development of robots.
Reducers, controllers, and servo motors are the three main components of industrial robots. From the perspective of industrial robot structure, the industrial robot is mainly composed of a reducer (RV reducer and harmonic reducer), a controller, a servo motor, a body, and other components. Among them, the reducer, controller, and servo motor are the three main components, with the highest cost share, which is about 35%, 20%, and 15%, respectively, and the total cost is as high as about 70%. The cost of industrial robot bodies and other components accounts for about 15% respectively.
