The market share of SCARA robots has been increasing, and the localization rate may reach 75% by 2025
Because SCARA robot has the advantages of high synchronization accuracy and high efficiency, and also has cost advantages compared with other robots, the production and manufacturing of new electronic equipment such as 5G mobile terminal and PC terminal will promote the demand for automation equipment procurement and drive the rapid development of SCARA robot industry in the future.
SCARA robot, also known as multi-shop robot, is a special type of industrial robot with cylindrical coordinates. It is currently widely used in plastic industry, automobile industry, electronic product industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry and other fields, and is used for the handling and assembly of 3C electronics, semiconductor, food, medicine and other products.
From the perspective of application field, SCARA robot has small load and fast speed, and is currently mainly used in 3C electronics industry, which accounts for about 62%. In recent years, with the rapid development of 3C electronics industry and the rise of labor costs in China, the demand for the use of robots to liberate human resources has become increasingly strong, prompting the demand for SCARA robot market to rise rapidly. By 2019, the market size will reach 1.6 billion yuan, and the market growth rate will be about 42%.
In horizontal comparison, because SCARA robots have the advantages of high synchronization accuracy and fast efficiency, and also have cost advantages compared with other robots, in the future, driven by 5G, the production and manufacturing of new electronic equipment such as 5G mobile terminal and PC terminal will promote the demand for automation equipment procurement, and will drive the rapid development of SCARA robot industry. It is expected that the scale of SCARA robot market in China will reach 5.4 billion yuan by 2023, with a compound annual growth of 35.5%.
At present, China's industry is facing transformation and upgrading. "Made in China 2025" proposes to accelerate the development of intelligent manufacturing equipment and products, organize the research and development of industrial robots with automatic functions, and accelerate the intelligent transformation of production equipment in automobile, light industry, food, electronics and other industries. With the transformation of traditional manufacturing industry to automation, it will accelerate the upgrading of control systems, servo devices and other equipment and technologies, improve the robot industry chain, and accelerate the localization and large-scale production of SCARA robots.
At present, SCARA robots are mainly used in the 3C field. With the development of 5G technology, the 3C industry has developed rapidly, which drives the demand for SCARA robots to rise. The SCARA robot industry has a good prospect. In terms of production, at present, China's SCARA robots rely heavily on imports, but with the support of policies, China's SCARA robots and imported products continue to narrow the gap, and the market share of domestic SCARA robots will continue to increase in the future. It is expected that the localization rate will reach about 75% by 2025.
