In the first half of this year, Shanghai”s manufacturing investment increased by 22% year-on-year, a double-digit growth that has not been seen in recent years.
Among them, the robot industry is quite representative
At the just-concluded CIIE, robotics giants gained a lot. At present, among the four major robot families, the Swiss company ABB, the German company KUKA
, and the Japanese companies Yaskawa and FANUC have all increased their investment in the Chinese robot market.
After sorting out the development paths of the four major robotics giants in China in the past year, as well as the local government’s focus on high-end
manufacturing and preferential industrial policies. Analysts from the 21st Century Economic Research Institute believe that local governments should provide
manufacturing companies with a relaxed production environment and business environment through tax cuts, streamlining administration and delegating powers.
At the same time, local policies should not unilaterally pursue automation and intelligence through subsidies for “buy, buy, buy”, but should encourage
technological innovation in a guided manner. Represented by the robot industry, while cooperating with the four major families, domestic industrial robots should
also increase innovation and enhance their core competitiveness and market share.
The Chinese Bureau of the Four Major Robot Families
China, which is transforming from a major manufacturing country to a powerful manufacturing country, is also a major consumer of industrial robots. This
market has always been optimistic about the outside world.
Officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology previously stated that China”s industrial robot sales reached 141,000 units in 2017, becoming the
world”s largest application market for five consecutive years. By 2020, China”s robot demand will account for 40% of global demand.
Over the past year, robotics giants have accelerated their efforts to seize the Chinese market and have also won huge orders in China. The four major robot families
account for more than 70% of the market share of China”s robot industry and are close to monopolizing high-end fields such as robot manufacturing and welding.
In 2018, ABB”s Robot Application Center in Chongqing officially opened, focusing on meeting the rapidly growing market demand for industrial robots in the
western region”s automotive, 3C product manufacturing, equipment manufacturing and consumer goods manufacturing fields. At the end of October, ABB announced an
investment of US$150 million to build the world”s largest and most advanced robot super factory in Kangqiao, Shanghai, to expand production capacity and better meet
surging customer demand. In mid-November, ABB Xiamen Industrial Center in Xiamen Torch (Xiang”an) Industrial Zone was officially opened. With an investment of US$300 million,
it is one of ABB”s largest and most advanced manufacturing bases in the world. In mid-November, ABB and the Guangdong Provincial Government signed a strategic
cooperation framework agreement. The two parties will further deepen strategic cooperation in the fields of power, industry, transportation and infrastructure.
In terms of production capacity, ABB”s newly built super factory in Kangqiao, Shanghai can produce 100,000 industrial robots, which will complete the production
of a quarter of the world”s industrial robots. More than 90% of ABB”s robots sold in the Chinese market are developed and manufactured in China, achieving local
development, local production and local transportation.
The CEO of German KUKA stated at the CIIE that KUKA is positioned as China”s largest robot company. China is one of the most important markets in the future
and it wants to gain the largest market share. In 2016, KUKA and Chongqing Changan Industrial Co., Ltd. established a robotics joint venture in Chongqing. In March
2018, KUKA announced the establishment of a new robot factory in Shunde, Guangdong. Six years later, the company”s production capacity in China will be increased to 100,000 units.
