Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 6 (Reporter Zhang Xinxin) Guo Shougang, deputy director of the Equipment Industry Division I of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said on the 6 th that the scale of China’s robot industry has grown rapidly, and the operating income of the whole robot industry in 2021 exceeded 130 billion yuan. Among them, the output of industrial robots reached 366,000 units, a 10-fold increase over 2015, ranking first in the world’s industrial robot market.
Guo Shougang made the above statement at the press conference on the theme of "Vigorously developing high-end equipment manufacturing industry" held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the 6th.
Guo Shougang said that robots are known as "the jewel at the top of the manufacturing crown", and their research and development, manufacturing and application are important symbols to measure a country’s scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s robot industry has developed vigorously, which has greatly changed people’s production and lifestyle and injected strong momentum into economic and social development.
According to the data released at the conference, the scale of China’s robot industry is growing rapidly. Among them, the application of industrial robots covers 60 industry categories and 168 industry categories in the national economy. According to the statistics of relevant institutions, the density of robots in China’s manufacturing industry will exceed 300 per 10,000 people in 2021, which is about 13 times higher than that in 2012.
In addition, service robots are widely used in catering, education, medical care, logistics and other fields. For example, at the just-concluded China International Fair for Trade in Services in 2022, Meituan exhibited automatic delivery vehicles and delivery drones, and realized automatic delivery through intelligent dispatching, which further improved the logistics efficiency. According to the data of Tianyancha, up to now, there are more than 439,000 service robot-related enterprises in China, including more than 79,000 newly registered enterprises from January to August 2022.
"Robots are in more and more fields ‘ Show your talents ’ Constantly breeds new industries, new models and new formats. " Guo Shougang said that the technical level of China’s robot industry has been further improved, and progress has been made in the research and development of core components such as precision reducers, intelligent controllers and real-time operating systems. 101 "little giant" enterprises in the industry have accelerated their development and growth.
He said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will fully implement the "14 th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Robot Industry", carry out actions to improve the key foundations of robots, improve the standards, testing and certification systems, speed up the completion of industrial shortcomings such as special materials, core components and processing technologies, strengthen the application of characteristics in sub-sectors, cultivate and expand high-quality enterprises, create a good development environment, and promote the high-quality development of the robot industry.
