The output of service robots in China dropped by 1.9% year-on-year in October 2021 to 753,277 sets, marking the first negative monthly growth this year, according to data released by the China Chamber of Commerce Industry Research Institute.
Data show that from January to October this year, the national cumulative output of service robots is 7409,924 sets, a cumulative increase of 61.7%, which is mainly due to the year-on-year growth in the first half of the year, with the gradual resumption of production in the second half of 2020, the output of service robots increased, resulting in a smaller year-on-year increase in the second half of this year, and even the decline now.
From cumulative growth, since the peak of 132.3% in February, it presents the downward trend from month to month, although the absolute growth of more than 60% still belong to the category of faster growth, but the cumulative growth in October 9, sequential fell by more than 10%, market demand basic apparently be released, and began to return to normal growth.
The global service robot industry is developing rapidly
Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the Recent World Robot Conference, "From the vast space to thousands of miles of deep sea, from factory workshops to fields, from national treasures to people's lives, we are stepping into a colorful new world of harmonious co-prosperity with robots.
Application Yu Haohan space, the deep sea, robots are too far away from us in the factory workshop, difficult to perceive, impact on ordinary people's life the most profound and the most intuitive or service robot, when we walk into a hotpot restaurant, after the dish is found to be sent when a robot distribution, suddenly found that service robot has gradually penetrated into our daily life.
International standards for the classification of service robots, simple divided into the home service robot and commercial service robot, and the latest domestic standard is divided into the home service robot, the public service robot, and the international standard, also increased the special robot, and other applications robot two kinds big, this kind of classification method is more in line with the service robot market situation in our country,
It helps to make a more accurate division of industries.
The spread of COVID-19 has led to a surge in demand for contactless services. Various types of service robots, such as temperature measuring robots, food delivery robots and disinfection robots, have been widely used in daily life, resulting in an explosive growth of service robots.
China Robot Industry Development Report (2021) shows that in 2021, the market size of China's robot is expected to reach 83.9 billion yuan, among which the market size of service robot is expected to reach 30.26 billion yuan, accounting for 36%. It is expected that by 2023, the market size of China's service robot is expected to break through 60 billion yuan.
From the perspective of the global market, service robots have also achieved considerable development.
According to the "World Robot -- Service Robot 2021" released by the International Federation of Robotics, the global commercial service robot market turnover reached 6.7 billion US dollars (about 42.56 billion YUAN), with a year-on-year growth of 12%;
Meanwhile, sales of home service robots reached $4.4 billion, up 16 percent year on year.
The popularity of service robots has naturally attracted the attention of the capital market. In 2020, the investment and financing scale of domestic service robots soared by 344%, from 5.42 billion yuan in 2019 to 18.62 billion yuan.
As of October 2021, a total of 299 companies engaged in the development of life service scene robots have received financing, 79 of which have raised more than 100 million yuan, according to Tianyan.
The trillion blue ocean market for service robots has opened up
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the service robot industry, making it pass the stage of market education in a short period of time, and simply pushing service robots to the front of everyone's eyes.
For example, the most widely used anti-epidemic robots during the epidemic period. Reports show that the shipment of such service robots in China soared by 165% in 2020, and a large number of epidemic prevention robots were even exported to overseas markets. Service robots have demonstrated the feasibility and efficiency of unmanned operations on a large scale for the first time.
Although these are just the urgent needs promoted by the epidemic and are actually much ahead of time, the performance of service robots in the epidemic has finally been recognized by people, thus service robots have passed the key node of market development.
At the same time, there is no doubt that the aging, labor shortage, industrial upgrading and other historical changes are taking place in the global scope, machine replacement will become the general trend.
In China, in the medium and long term, the changes in China's population and industrial structure will also provide a good development environment for the development of service robots, giving birth to a huge market unimaginable at present.
On the one hand, China's aging population continues to accelerate.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021, the population aged 60 and above in China will exceed 264 million, accounting for 18.70%. In the international community, the population aged over 60 accounts for 10% of the total population, or the population aged over 65 accounts for 7% of the total population. As the standard for countries and regions to enter the aging society, It is obvious that China has become an aging society.
And in the Labour market, the gap between demand and supply will continue to grow.
In 2021, China's working-age population between 16 and 59 years old was 880 million, down by more than 40 million compared with 2010. Nowadays, news of labor shortage has been common in regions with developed manufacturing industry.
On the other hand, the proportion of China's tertiary industry is increasing year by year.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that the proportion of added value of China's tertiary industry in GDP is increasing year by year, and the added value of the tertiary industry will reach 54.5% in 2020. The development of education, medical care, catering and other service industries in the tertiary industry is expected to drive the demand for service robots and promote the rapid improvement of the quantity and quality of service robots.
It can be predicted that in the next five years or longer, with the acceleration of the aging trend of the population, as well as the continuous strong demand for medical care and education, China's service robot will show huge market potential and development space, which will be a trillion market.
In fact, in recent years, the country has also introduced policies to promote the development of service robots.
In 2016, the need for development of service robots was mentioned in the 13th Five-Year Plan. In the following years, policies to promote the development of service robots showed an increasing trend, and at the same time, they were continuously refined to various fields to promote their commercial application.
In the "14th Five-year Plan" released in March this year, it is directly focused on the development of service robots, I believe that under the guidance of policy and market, service robots have a promising future.
