In 2016, the industry boom in China’s robotics industry (300024) continued, but at the same time there were also problems such as redundant construction, low end of high-end industries, and lack of core technologies. To this end, the government has introduced a number of policies to correct the problem.
Following the first half of 2016, the “Smart Manufacturing Development Plan (2016-2020)†and “Robot Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)†and other documents, the State Council, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have successively issued The 13th Five-Year Plan for Strategic Emerging Industries, the Industrial Robot Industry Specification, and the Notice on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Robot Industry have led the industry in an orderly manner. This year, the domestic robotics industry either through mergers and acquisitions and localization will comprehensively increase its core competitiveness and lead China’s “intellectualism†to achieve curved overtaking.
China's robotics investment industry insiders said that 2016 is the first year of China's intelligent robot. This year, under the influence of multiple factors such as industrial transformation and upgrading, policy support, capital influx, and companies competing for strength, the domestic industrial robot market is ushering in a wave of blowout period.
According to statistics released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the first half of 2016, there are more than 800 enterprises involved in the production of robots in China, and there are more than 40 industrial parks that are mainly based on the development of robots. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to November 2016, the output of industrial robots in China was 64,000 units, an increase of more than 90% from the annual output of 2015. In just five years, nearly 3,000 Chinese robot manufacturers have grown.
The Chinese robotic industry has occupied an important position in the world. At the World Robotics held on October 21-25, 2016, relevant data showed that in 2015, the global sales of industrial robots were 248,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 12%. The total sales volume of industrial robots in China totaled 66,700 units, accounting for more than 1/4 of the global industrial robot market share. It is understood that this is the third consecutive year that China has become the world's largest consumer market for industrial robots since 2013.
In the future, there is still huge room for development in the domestic robot market. According to the “Made in China 2025†plan, the sales target for domestic industrial robots in three time nodes in 2020, 2025, and 2030 is respectively 150,000, 260,000, and 400,000.
Policies for Industrial Remediation Resolving the Domestic Intelligent Robot Industry While expanding its business, various problems have also surfaced, such as over-investment, low-end products, and even the appearance of financial subsidies. To this end, the state has continuously introduced various policies to guide the rational and coordinated development of the industry.
In the first half of 2016, the "Intelligent Manufacturing Development Plan (2016-2020)", "Robot Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)", and "Ministry of Finance's Circular on Issues Governing the Subsidy of the Robot Industry" and other documents are different from each other. The perspective of the domestic robot industry in the development process of the various problems and chaos hit and governance. At present, various new policies are still being introduced and improved.
In mid-December 2016, the State Council issued the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Strategic and Emerging Industries of the State" and made a comprehensive arrangement for the development goals, key tasks, and policies and measures for China's strategic emerging industries during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.
"Planning" clearly puts forward that the establishment of an industrial robot industry system will fully break through key technologies and core components such as high-precision decelerators, high-performance controllers, and precision measurement, and will focus on developing high-end, high-reliability mid-to-high-end industrial robots.
On December 29th, 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the National Certification and Accreditation Administration issued a document with a clear message that they must promote the rational development of the robot industry, strengthen technological innovation capabilities, accelerate the conversion of innovative scientific and technological achievements, and break through parts and components. The board, the development of industrial robots application market, the promotion of service robot pilot demonstrations, the establishment of certification and adoption of credit system, etc. led the coordinated development of the robot industry in China.
Also at the end of 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the “Regulations for Industrial Robots Industryâ€, which covers the production of industrial robots in terms of comprehensive conditions, enterprise scale, quality requirements, R&D and innovation capabilities, talent strength, sales and after-sales services, social responsibility, and supervision and management. Enterprises and industrial robots integrated application companies have regulations.
Mergers and acquisitions and domesticization will become the main line policy, "combination boxing" frequently, and in 2017, the pace of development of the domestic robotics industry will be more solid and rational.
On the one hand, mergers and acquisitions will become the main theme of the market. It must be acknowledged that under the backdrop of intense market competition, upgrading the core competitiveness through mergers and acquisitions has become the trend of the robot industry. Statistics show that in 2016, there were a total of 48 corporate acquisitions in the global robotics field, 8 mergers and acquisitions involved more than 500 million U.S. dollars, and 5 companies exceeded 1 billion U.S. dollars. Among them are many Chinese manufacturers, such as: Midea's M&A KUKA Group, China's machinery manufacturer Lanying Group's acquisition of 85% of Ecoclean, a German company's cleaning business under the Dürr Group, and China Chemical Group's acquisition of the German press giant KraussMaffei Group. It is foreseeable that this trend will continue in 2017.
On the other hand, the localization of core components is an issue that cannot be avoided. At the inaugural meeting of the Chinese robot TOP10 summit held in June last year, Xin Guobin, deputy director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that China’s robotics industry has seen a trend of “low end of high-end industries†and there is a potential for over-investment.
Due to the poor autonomy of core technologies, most robot manufacturers in China can only produce low-end robots with three to five axes, and those imported from abroad are mostly six-axis high-end products; future domestic companies can focus on core components, Breakthroughs were made in five dimensions: innovative products, market segments, after-sales services, and capital mergers and acquisitions. Only by achieving independent innovation and mastering high-end core skills can we fundamentally improve our core competitiveness and gain a firm foothold in the market.
At present, the global artificial intelligence field such as intelligent robots is hot, and international competitions have been fully launched. China has obvious advantages in terms of patent applications, market space, and financing scales. Coupled with policy support, regulations, and joint efforts of all parties in the industry chain, China’s “smart†creation is expected to shine on the international stage.
