In April, Wuhu flowers are in full bloom. In the country’s first national robot industry cluster in Jiujiang District in the east of the city, the robot factory is being expanded.

After ten years of development, this land, once covered with rape flowers and known as “blackfish Ditch”, has now become one of the regions with the highest concentration of industrial robots in China. Last year, more than 220 robot upstream and downstream enterprises in Wuhu achieved an output value of more than 30 billion yuan.

At present, the domestic industrial robot market pattern has undergone great changes, and the domestic substitution rate has significantly increased.

Manufacturing market research institute MIR Rui industrial data show that in 2023, the overall growth rate of domestic industrial robots reached 28%, much higher than the overall market growth rate of industrial robots throughout the year, and the domestic market share exceeded 45% for the first time.

810-800081-022  According to the latest statistics from the High-tech Industry Research Institute (GGII), the market share of domestic industrial robots in 2023 reached 52.45%, which for the first time achieved a counterweight to foreign brands in terms of sales volume.

“The first decade was a ‘catch-up lesson’ for domestic industrial robot companies. Now we can start to compete directly with rivals in some areas monopolized by foreign robot companies.” Tang Xin, chief strategy officer of Evert, said.
