Robots are running through people’s production activities and daily life. In the factory, the robot can assist the manual to complete the monotonous work of handling, inspection and so on; In the hotel and catering industries, diversified food delivery robots can be seen everywhere.

Earlier data released by the International Federation of Robotics showed that in 2022, the revenue of China’s robot industry exceeded 170 billion yuan, the output of industrial robots was 443,000 sets, and the output of service robots was 6.458 million units. In the first half of 2023, China’s robot industry maintained stable growth, with the output of industrial robots 222,000 sets (+5.4%) and service robots 3.53 million sets (+9.6%).

According to incomplete statistics of China Robot network, as of June 30, 2023, this year’s domestic robot industry financing time a total of 63, has disclosed the amount of financing events in the 100 million yuan financing 18, the total amount of financing between about 5 to 6 billion yuan.

The report “2021-2025 China Robot Industry Supply and Demand Trend and Investment Risk Forecast Report” predicts that from 2020 to 2025, the overall compound growth rate of China’s robot industry will be stable at about 22%, and by 2025, the market size of China’s robot industry will reach 40.25 billion US dollars.

There are signs that the field of robotics is ushering in a full-scale explosion. Among them, the performance of industrial robots, service robots and humanoid robots is more commendable.

01, industrial robots are the most popular capital

Industrial robot refers to a multi-joint manipulator or a multi-degree of freedom machine device widely used in the industrial field, with a certain degree of automaticity, can rely on its own power energy and control capabilities, to achieve a variety of industrial processing, manufacturing, handling, inspection, operation and maintenance functions. Looking at the robot market, the overall growth rate of industrial robots is relatively fast. According to the data of the International Federation of Robotics, the global industrial robot installed capacity of 531,000 units in 2022, and China’s installed capacity exceeds 50% of the global total, ranking first in the world for nine consecutive years. There is no doubt that China is an absolute industrial robot power.

The boom in the industrial robot market has long been documented. Many factories have the problem of “labor shortage” — single operation process and boring scene lead to huge loss of young workers; The manufacturing scene requires high professional degree of workers, and pre-job training costs the factory a lot of time costs, labor costs and economic costs. In addition, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, many industrial manufacturing scenes can not operate normally, factory supply chain, enterprise management and other aspects have encountered challenges, and more and more enterprises have realized the importance of unmanned factories and automation. In this context, the landing scenes of industrial robots continue to emerge.

In the investment and financing market, industrial robots have also become one of the most lucrative areas. Prospective Industry Research Institute data show that in 2021, the number of investment and financing events in the field of industrial robots reached 145, and the financing amount was 40.057 billion yuan; In 2022, the number of investment and financing events reached 134, and the financing amount was 14.467 billion yuan. In the first half of 2023, dozens of industrial robot financing cases have occurred in China, covering unmanned vehicles, drones, mobile robots, robotic arms, mechanical vision, multi-axis servo and other fields. Among them, there are seven companies that have been informed of a single financing of 100 million yuan, namely, Jun Rudder Robot, Motong Transmission, Zhitong Technology, Koro Intelligence, Turing Robot and United Aircraft.
