Industrial robot is one of the key points of Chinese intelligent manufacturing 2025, and the core link of machine replacement and manufacturing industry upgrading in China. Benefiting from the industrial trend of automation and intelligence in Chinese manufacturing industry, and driven by multiple factors, Chinese industrial robot market may reach 100 billion in the next five years.
Industry 4.0 is one of the most discussed topics in the world. In the world, innovation and change have become one of the major challenges that countries and companies must face. Efforts should be made to formulate new policies that can take into account big data, digitization and industrial robots.
In recent years, robots have been used more and more widely in economic, social and other fields. In particular, industrial robots have become an important driving force for industrial manufacturing enterprises to achieve automation and intelligent upgrading.
The data shows that the market scale of industrial robots in China will reach 44.57 billion yuan in 2021. Industrial robots are one of the core focuses of China's intelligent manufacturing 2025, and are the core link of Chinese machine replacement and manufacturing industry upgrading. Benefiting from the industrial trend of automation and intelligence in China's manufacturing industry, industrial robots can be driven by multiple drivers in the future.
Multi drive, industrial robot is expected in the future
At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has accelerated the evolution. The new generation of information technology, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, etc. are deeply integrated with robot technology. The robot industry is ushering in a window period of upgrading and leaping development. With multiple drives, industrial robots have a promising future.
First, on the supply side, the output of industrial robots has increased significantly. Data shows that in 2021, the total output of industrial robots of industrial enterprises above designated size in China will reach 366044 sets, a year-on-year increase of 44.9%. The sales volume of industrial robots in the market is 248,000 units, with a year-on-year growth of 46.1%. It is expected that the market sales volume will reach 300,000 units in 2022.

Second, on the demand side, the sales scale of industrial robots has increased by nearly 20%. China is the world's largest industrial robot market, and its market share has steadily increased. In 2021, the sales volume of China's industrial robots will account for 52.88% of the global sales volume. It is estimated that the sales volume of Chinese industrial robots will account for 56.19% of the global sales volume in 2022.
Third, the policy will increase. By 2025, the sales scale of China's industrial robots will reach 100 billion yuan. By the end of 2021, the policy will increase the development of the industrial robot industry. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other 15 departments jointly issued the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" Robot Industry Development Plan, which will promote China's robot industry to reach the middle and high-end level during the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" period.
The Plan clearly states that by 2025, China will strive to become the source of global robot technology innovation, a high-end manufacturing cluster and a new highland of integrated applications. The average annual growth of the operating income of the robot industry will exceed 20%, and the density of robots in the manufacturing industry will double. It is estimated that the sales scale of industrial robots in China will reach about 105.1 billion yuan by 2025.
