As an important demand and application country in the global market, China's robotics industry started late, but the development speed and potential is very impressive. In recent years, with the policy, enterprise, capital and other factors continue to help and drive, the development of China's robotics has also made the world's attention of the proud results, while showing a flourishing development trends and future trends.
Robotics is known as the "pearl in the crown of the manufacturing industry", which is a strong driving force for industrial transformation and upgrading, an important helper in promoting the development of the national economy, and also a key to enhance the strength and competitiveness of the country. In recent years, in the context of the demographic dividend continues to dissipate, the increasing demand for automation, robots have ushered in an explosive development on a global scale, and every achievement it has made, every step of the dynamics of the march, and every trend of the future, all triggered a great deal of people's attention.
For domestic enterprises and users, the most concerned is undoubtedly the development of China's robots themselves. As an important demand and application of the global market, China's robotics industry started late, but the speed of development and potential is very impressive. In recent years, with the policy, enterprise, capital and other elements of the continuous help and drive, China's robot development has also made the world's attention of the proud results, while showing a flourishing development trends and future trends.
At present, the development of China's robotics has transitioned from the initial stage to a period of rapid growth, not only occupying an important share of the world in terms of application and demand, but also very gratifying in terms of scale and growth rate. According to the China Robotics Industry Development Report (2018), as of 2018, China's robotics market size has exceeded 8.5 billion U.S. dollars, with an average annual growth rate of nearly 30% in five years, which makes the development very strong.
At the same time, along with the continuous expansion of the market scale, the rapid expansion of the application field, the continuous acceleration of the localization process of core parts and components, as well as the emergence of a large number of innovative enterprises, and the increasing prominence of the advantages of some areas of the enterprise, China's robots in the development of the industry has also gradually presented three obvious characteristics.
One of the three types of robot development continues to speed up. At present, China's industrial robot development is particularly rapid, market share of about one-third of the world, and for six consecutive years to become the world's largest demand and application market; at the same time, the demand for service robots has great potential, in the household, education, public three major areas of application of the lead, the scale and highlights are expanding; in addition, the expansion of the scope of special robotic application scenarios, but also to let the market into the momentum of an important In addition, the expansion of the scope of application scenarios for special robots has also brought the market into an important period of momentum, and the continuous emergence of various types of products is catalyzing the eventual explosion of the market.
Secondly, the phenomenon of industrial clusters is becoming more and more obvious. Now, around the country around the body manufacturing, system integration, parts production and other core links of the robot industry chain, leading the construction of distinctive robotics industrial parks and characteristics of the town more and more, such as Xianghe, Xiaoshan and other robotics town. They came into being under the cooperation of government and enterprises or strong combination of enterprises, promoting the development of the industry from decentralization to agglomeration, for China's further maturation of the robot has brought important help.
The third is the regional industry's respective advantages to accelerate the highlighting. In the process of domestic industrial agglomeration, China has formed the East and West, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and other six major agglomeration areas, these agglomeration areas out of the level of economic development, industrial base, market maturity, as well as differences in talent and other factors, the formation of their unique advantages. In this context, the current accelerated mutual cooperation and exchanges between the regions is to promote the speedy development of the industry through complementary advantages.
Based on the above development status quo, then in the short term the development trend and direction of China's robotics industry?
First of all, the application of accelerated extension. Whether it is industrial robots or service, special robots, speed up the development of the premise is to further expand and deepen the application areas. From the current application of robots in the industrial field, it has begun to automotive, electronics and other traditional areas gradually to new energy, environmental protection, warehousing and logistics and other emerging areas to accelerate the extension. It can be seen that the future application to new areas of expansion and in-depth sinking in niche areas is a major trend in the short term.
Secondly, the emergence of leading enterprises. Leading enterprises is to drive the industry towards maturity of the important force. At present, some of the emerging areas of the market segments have emerged a number of high business level, fit the actual industry, the application of mature small and medium-sized enterprises, with certain leading enterprises to cultivate the foundation. According to the national policy for leading enterprises to pay attention to and support, it can be imagined that the emergence of leading enterprises in the future will be another direction of short-term development.
Finally, innovation and entrepreneurship speed up. Innovation and entrepreneurship is one of the directions that the government encourages the development of the new era, for the robotics industry, the government is encouraging related enterprises to accelerate the development of dual-venture. At present, some enterprises with the ability to transform technological research results have begun to join forces with the government and enterprises at home and abroad to promote the development of industrial dual-creation through technology sharing and risk-sharing service platform construction. Under this trend, the improvement of enterprise innovation and entrepreneurship will become the norm in the future.
After looking at the short-term development trend, the long-term view of China's robot development will chase what trend? The author believes that the main three points: cross-border integration, human-machine collaboration and the three into one.
Cross-border integration, in other words, is "robot +", after the subject can be medical, education, finance, industry, agriculture and a series of industry terms. Cross-border integration is the application of robotics and commercial scale of this long-term goal, the robot only in the traditional industry to obtain large-scale application in order to show their actual value, in order to realize the mature development of the industry. During the two sessions of this year, the government work report put forward a new concept of "intelligence +", which from another perspective, is also to further emphasize the trend of cross-border integration of robots need to be practiced for a long time.
Human-machine collaboration is well understood, that is, human and robot synergy and integration of development, which is the ideal state of future human-machine relations. At present, the "machine for man" has triggered a lot of people's fear and concern, but in fact, the robot's technical deficiencies, lack of awareness to completely replace people is still too early. In view of this, with human consciousness of the robot really appeared before, I believe that the development of human-machine collaboration will be the main theme of the long-term.
Three of the three together in the three specifically refers to intelligent, lightweight and flexible, which is the current development of robotics in pursuit of the three main directions. Whether it is intelligent, lightweight or flexible, on the one hand, to ensure that the application of the robot field to further enhance the basis, on the other hand, is to promote the development of human-machine integration of the key prerequisite. Therefore, under the long-term maintenance of the future trend of human-robot collaboration, the promotion of robot development of the three together will also be an important trend for future development.
