The hottest robot industry in Yangtze River Delta

The robot industry in the Yangtze River Delta leads the country. CNR Beijing, August 22 news: at present, China's robot market has entered a period of rapid growth. From the perspective of regional development, the total sales revenue of robots in the Yangtze River Delta in 2018 exceeded 12.4 billion yuan, which is located in the area where the robot industry is concentrated in the country -------- Professor Chen xiazong/Vice President/Chairman of Zhongyuan University. During the 2019 world robot conference, the China Institute of Electronics released the "China robot industry development report 2019" (hereinafter referred to as the "report"), which pointed out that in 2019, the size of China's robot market is expected to reach $8.68 billion, with an average growth rate of 20.9% in 2014 and 2019

according to the report, the development level of the robot industry in various regions of China is different. The Yangtze River Delta has the strongest foundation in the development of China's robot industry. The industry in the Pearl River Delta has achieved a thinner, lighter and lower cost structure step by step. The development foundation of the robot industry in the central and western regions is relatively weak, but it has shown considerable late development potential

Yangtze River Delta region: leading the country in industrial scale efficiency

the Yangtze River Delta region has outstanding regional development advantages, dense roads, railways, bridges and ports, developed flow of production factors, good manufacturing development foundation and industrial supporting environment, and has become the bridgehead and forward position of reform and opening up

according to the report, the total sales revenue of robots in the Yangtze River Delta in 2018 exceeded 12.4 billion yuan, ranking first in the robot industry agglomeration region in China. In the field of service robots, the Yangtze River Delta region has many well-known brands at home and abroad, covering key technical links such as sensors, machine vision, speech semantic understanding, human-computer interaction, and gradually exploring innovative business application models

the proportion of robot ontology R & D and production enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region ranks first in the national industrial agglomeration region, and is gradually getting rid of the traditional development mode that system integration has become the main source of operating income. According to the report, Changke can shorten the gap with the cost price of polystyrene systems (exs, XPS), and the average localization rate of core parts in the triangle region is ahead of the country, indicating that the penetration of independent technology in robot core parts, especially reducer, is further strengthened. In addition, the proportion of high-end product revenue in the Yangtze River Delta region is not dominant nationwide, mainly due to the large volume of total sales revenue in the region. Although the absolute value of high-end product revenue is considerable, the relative value is not prominent

"they are stable in size

the Pearl River Delta region: the pace of machine replacement has accelerated

the manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta region started early, and a small-scale processing and manufacturing industry agglomeration has been formed in the 1970s. After more than 40 years of development, it has formed a labor-intensive industrial cluster represented by high-end equipment manufacturing, household appliance manufacturing, food packaging, 3C manufacturing, ceramic production, etc.

" report " It is pointed out that in recent years, with the continuous rise of labor cost pressure, manufacturing enterprises in the Pearl River Delta tend to reduce human resource investment by accelerating the pace of machine replacement, which provides a potential market for the application of robot products

according to the report, the total sales revenue of robot products in the Pearl River Delta region reached 10.85 billion yuan in 2018, of which Shenzhen led with a sales revenue of 6.7 billion yuan, followed by Foshan, Guangzhou and Dongguan. However, the scale of robot enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. The number of leading enterprises with an annual income of more than 100 million yuan is relatively limited, and the overall industrial agglomeration degree is about 28%

central and Western Regions: the advantage of late development is becoming increasingly significant

the development of robot industry in central and western regions of China started late and has a relatively weak foundation, but it has shown considerable late development potential, gradually forming industrial clusters in Wuhan, Changsha, Wuhu, Luoyang, Xiangtan and other places

the report points out that the industrial scale of the central region is large but not strong. In 2018, the total sales revenue of robots in Central China has exceeded 6.2 billion yuan, maintaining a sustained growth trend. However, due to the interaction of factors such as the rise in raw materials, parts and labor costs, the profit space of the robot industry in the central region has been further compressed, and the average sales profit margin this year is only about 10.5%, temporarily lagging behind other regions in the country, and the added value of products and services needs to be improved

similarly, most of the western region is located in the inland region of China, which is late to integrate with the international market. The development of the equipment manufacturing market lags behind. Although the scale is large and lacks core competitiveness, the production efficiency of enterprises is general and the enthusiasm is limited, which directly affects the local economic development level and people's lives

the report believes that the robot industry, as a strong fulcrum to leverage the development of high-end manufacturing, has provided good turning conditions for the development of manufacturing and economic take-off in the western region. According to the data, the total sales revenue of robots in the western region exceeded 5billion yuan in 2018, and is expected to maintain a sustained growth trend in the future
