Analysis Report on the Development of China's Three Major Robotics Industry in 2018

The report summarizes the industry developments of industry, services and specialty robots in recent years.

Industrial robot field: handling loading and unloading robots currently account for the highest proportion

In the field of industrial robots, China accounts for about one-third of the global market share and is the world's largest industrial robot application market.

The report predicts that with the domestically produced replacement of the three core components of China-made collaborative robots, and with the advantage of lower product prices, local companies are expected to achieve cornering overtaking in the market competition.

Medical, cleaning, and entertainment robots are currently the three hot spots

In the field of service robots, the report analyzes that due to the accelerated population aging trend and the continued strong demand for medical and educational services, China has huge market potential and development space in this field.

Since 2015, the annual growth rate of service robot enterprises has slowed down, and some enterprises have to withdraw from competition due to lack of capital or core technology support. At the same time, scarce and high-growth companies are still sought after by markets and capital, such as logistics robots, educational robots and medical robots.
As of July 2017, the number of domestic service robot patents has reached 24,094. From the perspective of patent layout, medical robots have the most active technological innovations, followed by cleaning and entertainment robots.

Special robotics field: The market size is expected to reach 1.07 billion US dollars in 2020

Special robots have achieved rapid development because they can replace human beings in fire, disaster relief, and security in more complex environments. According to the report, the current special robots already have a certain level of autonomous intelligence. Through the comprehensive use of sensors such as vision and pressure, and continuous optimization of control algorithms, tasks such as positioning, navigation, obstacle avoidance, and tracking can be accomplished.
According to the data in the report, the emergency rescue robots in the special robot market segment account for 32% and 8% of the global and Chinese special robot market respectively. It can be seen that China's emergency rescue robots still have great market development potential.
