The Chinese market has a broad prospect. In the future, there will be a strong market space in the electronics, light industry, hotel, service and other industries, and there are still many application scenarios to be developed. Therefore, it can be speculated that in the next 5 years, the competition in the collaborative robot industry market will become more intense. Some companies will try their best to lower product prices to gain a competitive advantage in price. And another part of the companies will continue the lifeline of existing technology research and development and acquire customers with new technology, high quality and high prices. From the perspective of corporate strategy research, we hope that most companies in China will adopt the latter. We can't deny that in order to survive, enterprises seek immediate benefits and survive at low prices. However, from the perspective of national and corporate technology development strategies, emphasis on technological research and development and the cultivation of talents is the key link for Chinese domestic corporate products to replace imported products. We hope to show you an overview of the international collaborative robot market through our perspective. Make more people understand collaborative robots and pay attention to the robot market.

The sudden new crown epidemic in 2020 has caused immeasurable losses to the land of China and the world. By the time the report was submitted, we had not yet obtained detailed statistics and analysis of the impact on the world. Therefore, the variables affected by the epidemic are not included in the forecast data of the report. Please understand.

Market Scale Forecast of the World Collaborative Robot Industry

  According to data from Japan’s Yano Economic Research Institute, the world collaborative robot market is expected to reach 850 billion yen in 2024, which is approximately 54.6 billion yuan in scale. Collaborative robots will be widely used in new industrial fields such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, and service industries such as catering and hotels.

Development Trends and Trends of Cobots in the World

  Through the survey of 14 major collaborative robot companies in the world and the comparison of product information, we can judge the development direction of collaborative robots from the following aspects. (Refer to the content of the fifth issue)

   1. From the perspective of price, the price of a collaborative robot is about 1 million yen, or about 70,000 yuan, and the price of a single-function product or a designated function or miniaturized product is about 15,000 yuan. Low price is the market trend of collaborative robots.

  2 From the aspect of operating and setting functions, collaborative robot manufacturers have developed convenient functional software for customers, and some companies have introduced intelligent terminal control systems and APPs. In the future, the use of smart terminals is the direction of development of manipulating collaborative robots.

  3. From the perspective of operator education and training, because the operation and movement of large-scale robot arms are dangerous, it is necessary to implement special education and training on safety and operation for personnel working with industrial robots. The robotic arm of the collaborative robot is easy to install and does not require special training in the law. Therefore, in the limited space of the company, you can learn by yourself by referring to product explanations, reference materials sold in the market, and various information on the Internet. Facilitate the cultivation of talents and the secondary development of product applications.
The using robot companies-end customer demand characteristics

   1. In order to ensure product quality, more companies need to purchase collaborative robots. Because of a single simple process, maintaining concentration for a long time, even skilled employees is a great burden. Fatigue and changes in physical condition will lead to a decline in the quality of work. If a robot arm that can work in a narrower working space, work longer or repeat simple actions multiple times, it can free people's hands and ensure the quality of production. In the future, more simple and repetitive tasks in service industries such as industry, catering, and hotels will be replaced by collaborative robots. This will be a key link for companies to ensure product quality and provide efficient services.

   2. The company aims to improve productivity. Compared with humans, collaborative robots can increase the working time and run multiple machines in parallel, can maintain the set speed for work, complete the expected work plan, and greatly improve production efficiency. Labor-intensive, standard product production companies will use collaborative robots in large numbers.

   3. The enterprise needs to realize business recombination. In the past, industrial robots set the scope and content of the work, and then worked according to the specified program. If you need to change the work content, the process of moving the device is very cumbersome and complicated. Nowadays, companies have increasingly higher requirements for production activities, and being able to flexibly change the scope of work and business content is the actual demand of many companies. Through simple settings, the ability to cope with existing jobs and recombination of business is the future development direction of collaborative robots.
