【Metaverse News】China's industrial robot installation accounts for over 50% of the global proportion

At the opening ceremony of the 2023 World Robotics Conference, the operating revenue of China's robotics industry exceeded 170 billion yuan in 2022, continuing to maintain double-digit growth. The application of robots in the market is accelerating and expanding. In 2022, the installed volume of industrial robots accounts for over 50% of the global market, firmly ranking as the world's largest market. Next, relevant departments will further promote the "robot+" application action, strengthen the implementation of segmented fields, and accelerate the popularization and promotion of mature scenarios.

In recent years, led by the construction of a manufacturing powerhouse and a digital China, China's robot industry has achieved vigorous development. Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Xin Guobin, introduced at the meeting that in 2022, the production of industrial robots exceeded 443000 sets, a year-on-year increase of over 20%.

While the industrial scale continues to grow, the strength of the robot industry brand continues to strengthen, and the market application accelerates its expansion. According to Xin Guobin, there are 273 specialized and innovative "little giants" in the field of robotics, and 10 robotics companies have grown into single champions in the manufacturing industry. The density of manufacturing robots has reached 392 per 10000 workers, and service and special robots not only achieve large-scale applications in logistics, medical, construction and other fields, but also play an important role in space exploration, emergency rescue, public safety and other aspects.

Currently, robots exhibit development characteristics such as human-machine integration, virtual and real integration, intelligent driving, and ubiquitous interaction. The industry contains huge investment opportunities and surging development momentum. China has the world's largest robot market, and we need to seize strategic opportunities for industrial development, build an open and shared cooperation ecosystem, and vigorously promote the high-quality development of the robot industry.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will adhere to application traction, deeply promote the "robot+" application action, strengthen the implementation and application of segmented fields, accelerate the popularization and promotion of mature scenarios, encourage exploration in emerging fields, and promote the continuous penetration and application of robot innovative products in various industries and fields of the national economy. Adhere to innovation driven, establish a collaborative innovation mechanism between user units and robotics enterprises, face industry application needs, and drive a batch of high-end complete machines, key components, and process software innovation breakthroughs. Adhere to integrated development, stimulate innovation vitality of enterprises, strengthen coordination between central and local governments, and jointly cultivate world-class robot industry clusters and application demonstration bases.
