Reporters learned from the opening ceremony of the 2023 World Robot Conference on August 16 that the operating revenue of my country's robot industry will exceed 170 billion yuan in 2022, continuing to maintain double-digit growth. The application of the robot market is accelerating. In 2022, the installed capacity of industrial robots will account for more than 50% of the world's total, making it the world's largest market. In the next step, relevant departments will further promote the "Robot+" application action, strengthen the application in subdivided areas, and accelerate the popularization and promotion of mature scenarios.

In recent years, under the guidance of the construction of a manufacturing powerhouse and Digital China, my country's robot industry has achieved vigorous development. Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced at the meeting that the output of industrial robots will exceed 443,000 units in 2022, a year-on-year increase of more than 20%.

While the scale of the industry continues to grow, the brand strength of the robot industry continues to increase, and market applications accelerate. Xin Guobin introduced that there are 273 "little giant" companies specializing in the field of robotics, and 10 robotics companies have grown into individual champions in the manufacturing industry. The density of manufacturing robots has reached 392 units per 10,000 workers. Service and special robots not only achieve large-scale applications in fields such as logistics, medical care, and construction, but also play an important role in space exploration, emergency rescue, and public safety.

Participants believed that current robots show development characteristics such as human-machine integration, virtual and real integration, intelligent drive, and ubiquitous interaction, and the industry contains huge investment opportunities and surging development momentum. Our country has the world's largest robot market. We must seize strategic opportunities for industrial development, build an open and shared cooperation ecosystem, and vigorously promote the high-quality development of the robot industry.

Xin Guobin said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will adhere to application traction, further promote the "Robot+" application action, strengthen the application of subdivided fields, accelerate the popularization and promotion of mature scenarios, encourage emerging fields to explore first, and promote the continuous penetration and application of innovative robot products into all aspects of the national economy. industries and fields. Adhere to the drive of innovation, establish a collaborative innovation mechanism between user units and robot companies, and drive a number of innovative breakthroughs in high-end complete machines, key components and process software in response to industry application needs. Adhere to integrated development, stimulate enterprise innovation vitality, strengthen central and local coordination, and jointly cultivate world-class robot industry clusters and application demonstration bases.
