The hottest release of China's industrial robot ma

2018 China's industrial robot market statistics release ranked first in the world for six consecutive years

CNR Shanghai, September 18 (Fu Wenjie) this morning, China robot industry alliance (CRIA) released 2018 China's industrial robot market statistics at the "worldrobotics2019" press conference. The data shows that although the sales volume of China's industrial robot market fell for the first time, the annual sales volume ranked first in the world for the sixth consecutive year, and the sales of independent brand robots maintained a steady growth

the sales of robots of independent brands are stable and foreign brands. For equipment manufacturers of recycled plastic granulators, the sales of robots have decreased

according to CRIA and IFR statistics, the cumulative sales of industrial robots in China's industrial robot market in 2018 were 156000, a year-on-year decrease of 1.73% (Note: IFR adjusted the number of the same period last year), and the market sales fell for the first time year-on-year. Among them, the sales of autonomous brand robots were 43600, with a year-on-year increase of 16.2%; The sales of foreign robots were 113000, a year-on-year decrease of 7.2%. Compared with the previous year, although the sales growth rate of independent brand industrial robots has slowed down, it still remains at a relatively stable growth level that the sealing ring may fail after working for too long, resulting in serious oil leakage of the oil cylinder; The sales of foreign brands fell sharply, and the growth rate suddenly slowed down. The sales volume fell from a growth rate of more than 70% in 2017 to a year-on-year decline in 2018. The proportion of self owned brand robots in the total market sales was 27.88%, an increase of 4.3 percentage points over the previous year

the structural adjustment of self owned brand robots continued to advance

from the perspective of mechanical structure, the sales volume of multi joint robots in the Chinese market in 2018 ranked first among all types of robots, with an annual sales of 97200 units, an increase of 6.53% year-on-year; Among them, the sales of self owned brand multi joint robots maintained a stable growth trend, ranking first among all models for the second consecutive year, with a cumulative sales of 18800 units throughout the year, an increase of 18.1% year-on-year; The market share of self owned multi joint robots was 19.4%, an increase of 1.9 percentage points over the previous year. SCARA robot achieved a high growth rate of 52% and sold 33000 sets; Among them, the sales of autonomous brand robots increased by 63.9%. The total sales volume of coordinate robots was less than 20000, a year-on-year decrease of 17%; Among them, the sales of self owned brand coordinate robots increased by 4.7% year-on-year. The number of parallel robots increased on the basis of the low base of the previous year

the sales volume in the field of handling, loading and unloading increased slightly

from the perspective of application field, handling and loading and unloading remain the primary application field in the Chinese market. 64000 sets were sold in 2018, with a year-on-year increase of 1.55%, and the proportion in the total sales volume is the same as that in 2017; Among them, the sales volume of independent brands increased by 5.7%. The sales of welding and brazing robots was close to 40000, with a year-on-year increase of 12.5%; Among them, the main functions of the independent spring change experimental machine are to change the torque, the angle is displayed digitally, the angle measurement adopts the angular displacement sensor (photoelectric encoder), and the angular displacement of the torque sensor can be automatically corrected. The machine also has the functions of peak value maintenance, overload protection, stiffness calculation, result printing, data query, etc., and the sales volume of the manual loading brand has increased by 20%. The sales of assembly and disassembly robots was 23000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 17.15, and the replacement was guaranteed within 2 days. In general, handling and welding are still the main application fields of industrial robots, and the market share of independent brand robots in handling, welding processing, assembly, coating, and other application fields has increased

the procurement volume of electrical and electronic equipment and equipment manufacturing industry and automobile manufacturing industry decreased

from the perspective of application industry, the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment and equipment has become the primary application industry in the Chinese market for the third consecutive year. In 2018, 46000 units were sold, a year-on-year decrease of 6.6%, accounting for 29.8% of the total sales in the Chinese market; The automobile manufacturing industry is still a very important application industry. In 2018, more than 40000 robots were added, and the sales volume decreased by 8.1% year-on-year. The proportion of the total sales volume in the Chinese market fell back to 25.5%. In addition, the purchase of robots in the metal processing industry (including mechanical equipment manufacturing) decreased significantly by 23.4% year-on-year. The sales volume of robots used in food manufacturing industry increased by 33.1%

from the perspective of domestic and foreign capital structure, the market share of self owned brand robots in major industries showed an overall upward trend in 2018, accounting for 30.1% in the electrical and electronic equipment and equipment manufacturing industry and 13.8% in the automotive industry, an increase of 2.5 and 3.3 percentage points respectively over the previous year. In 2018, the application industry of independent brand industrial robots continued to expand, involving 47 industry categories and 126 industry categories of the national economy, releasing more market demand

2019 outlook and forecast

based on the current market situation and industry operation trend, the China robot industry alliance preliminarily predicts that the sales volume of China's industrial robot market will increase by about 5% in 2019, of which the sales volume of independent brand industrial robots will increase by about 15%
