In March, the production of industrial robots reached 43,883 sets, a year-on-year decrease of 5.7%
On April 18th, the National Bureau of Statistics released data showing that preliminary calculations showed that the gross domestic product in the first quarter was 28,499.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.5% at constant prices, and a year-on-year increase of 2.2% compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year.
In March, the added value of industries above designated size increased by 3.9% year-on-year (the growth rate of added value is the actual growth rate after deducting price factors).
From a month on month perspective, in March, the added value of industries above designated size increased by 0.12% compared to the previous month. From January to March, the added value of industries above designated size increased by 3.0% year-on-year, 0.3 percentage points faster than the fourth quarter of the previous year.
From the overall data perspective, the overall industrial data shows a growth momentum, and China's industrial economy is steadily rebounding and improving.
But as Jiang Yuan, Deputy Director of the Industrial Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said, "Overall, industrial production has steadily recovered in the first quarter and achieved a stable start. However, it should also be noted that the industrial economy still faces difficulties such as insufficient market demand and declining profitability.
Among them, in March, the production of industrial robots was 43,883 sets, a year-on-year decrease of 5.7%; The total output of industrial robots from January to March was 103691 sets, a year-on-year decrease of 3%.
According to data disclosed by the National Bureau of Statistics in February, the production of industrial robots from January to February was 62036 sets, a year-on-year decrease of 19.2%. The output of industrial robots from January to February 2022 is 76,381 sets.
Compared to 2022, the overall production of industrial robots decreased in the first quarter. However, it can be observed that there was a significant decrease from January to February, while the decrease in March decreased and showed a trend of warming.
Analysis of high-tech robots shows that the decline in Chinese industrial robot production is narrowing, and in 2023, China's industrial robots will achieve a steady recovery and acceleration in development.
China has become the world's largest consumer of industrial robots for 9 consecutive years and remains the world's largest industrial robot market.
From the various data of the industrial robot industry in 2022, it can be seen that the increase in demand mainly comes from the fields of new energy vehicles, photovoltaic, lithium-ion batteries, and semiconductors.
From January to March 2023, the production of solar cells (photovoltaic cells) and new energy vehicles increased by 53.2% and 22.5% respectively, showing a significant growth trend.
According to data from GGII, the shipment volume of lithium batteries in China reached 655 GWh in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 100.31%. The production continues to grow rapidly, and the industrial scale continues to expand. China's lithium battery industry has entered the "fast lane" of development.
According to GGII analysis, the growth rate of Chinese power storage battery industry in 2022 is impressive, and the growth rate may slow down in 2023. From 2021 to 2025, the shipment volume of energy storage batteries in China has increased by more than 8 times, and the growth rate continues to rise. It is possible that China will "take over" power batteries.
With the continuous expansion of the industry, the market demand for new energy vehicles, photovoltaic, lithium battery and other industries will continue to grow, and industrial robots will continue to benefit.
