Robot exports exceed imports

After the rapid development in recent years, whether it is product technology or landing application, China’s industrial robot industry has achieved a substantial catch up, and going to sea is the inevitable way for enterprises to expand a larger market.

PR937620 IFR data show that in 2023, China’s industrial robot exports hit a new high, reaching 118,300 units, while imports were only 82,400 units. From mobile robots and collaborative robots to new robot applications for new fields, China’s intelligent manufacturing is also growing in the process of going to sea, and it has become a new force behind the rise of global manufacturing.

According to Xu Ruqiang, overseas hot robot products are mainly used in home appliance manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, 3C electronics, logistics warehousing and other industries. In addition, the application of semiconductors and new energy industries has grown rapidly. New robot products, such as flexible collaborative robots and composite robots, have realized batch application in the production line of smart terminals such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops in the head factory.

In the process of going overseas, the cost performance of China’s industrial robots is gradually reflected. Wang Guangneng, general manager of Dazu Robot, said: PR937620 “Chinese robot brands are mainly sold to North America, Japan, Germany, South Korea and other developed markets, as well as Latin America, Southeast Asia and other rapidly developing manufacturing markets. Overseas labor is expensive, and companies are willing to use robots for automation. The six-axis collaborative robots we produce work as efficiently as ordinary production workers, but the robots work day and night, which is equivalent to the workload of two workers. Our selling price is much lower than foreign investors, and most customers can recoup their investment in a few months.”
