Current situation and development of China's colla

Analysis on the current market situation and development prospects of China's cooperative robot industry in 2020

cooperative robot is a kind of robot designed to interact closely with human beings in a common workspace. Cooperative robot is a kind of industrial robot. As the name suggests, it refers to the cooperation with human workers

I. China's collaborative robot industry is in the stage of in-depth development

collaborative robots rose in China in 2014, mainly foreign-funded manufacturers ur and rethink. Since 2015, domestic collaborative robots such as Xinsong, Daming, Aobo, Han's laser and other enterprises are also actively laying out the collaborative robot market. Although the compound growth rate of sales of cooperative robots in China has exceeded 50% since, due to slow speed, low accuracy, poor market experience and other reasons, the overall sales volume of the industry accounts for no more than 6% of the sales volume of industrial robots. In general, the market promotion speed is relatively slow. At present, the high-end market of core components of collaborative robots is mainly dominated by foreign manufacturers. Domestic manufacturers have made significant progress and have begun to import and replace in some fields

II. In 2019, the output of cooperative robots in China exceeded 5000

with the proposal of industry 4.0 and the promulgation of the national intelligent manufacturing 2025 development plan, China will realize the transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power. The role of industrial robots in the process of intelligent manufacturing and flexible manufacturing will become more and more important, which will also bring development opportunities for collaborative robots in the field of domestic industrial robots. In 2017, the output of cooperative robots in China was 2218, and in 2018, the output of cooperative robots in China was about 3810, accounting for about 2.58% of the total output of domestic industrial robots in the same period. According to the growth trend of the proportion of cooperative robot production in industrial robot production in the year of no peeling and scattering, the prospective industry Institute estimates that the output of cooperative robots in China will exceed 5000 in 2019

III. The sales volume of cooperative robots in China exceeded 8000 in 2019

according to the data of the Institute of robotics for Industrial Research (GGII), the sales volume of cooperative robots in China in 2018 was 6320, an increase of 49.9% year-on-year; In, the compound growth rate of collaborative robot sales reached 80.15%. According to the calculation of GGII, the sales volume of cooperative robots in China in 2019 was about 8848, with a year-on-year increase of 40%

combined with the statistical data analysis of the Institute of robotics for advanced industry and Research (GGII) and IFR, in recent years, the proportion of the sales of cooperative robots in the sales of industrial robots in China has gradually increased, accounting for 4.1% in 2018 and 5.5% in 2019

v. cooperative robots will be the future of industrial robots

according to the survey of the prospective industry research institute, the average price of robot bodies in some fields of cooperation and even at the world advanced level in 2019 is about 100000 (taking into account the differences between imported and domestic brands); The total cost of system integration is about 1.5 times of the average price of the collaborative robot ontology. Generally, after-sales integrators mainly carry out the commissioning and training of cooperative robots within one year of the warranty period, and the cost is about 5% of the cost of cooperative robots; The maintenance and upgrading of cooperative robots are mainly the responsibility of the manufacturers of cooperative robots, and the maintenance cost accounts for 2% of the cost of cooperative robots

based on the cost of collaborative robots and the per capita cost of manufacturing industry in 2014 and 2019 (considering the impact of end users on the cost recovery cycle and product upgrading on the actual service life, the life cycle is assumed to be 5 years). From the perspective of theoretical calculation, a cooperative robot with excellent performance can recover the cost in only one year, that is, the remaining four years can create value for enterprises for free. It can be seen that cooperative robots have a very large market value. Once the core technology is broken, it is certain that cooperative robots will be the future of industrial robots
