The four giants status is guaranteed? 2020 global industrial robotics development trends in-depth analysis

The global industrial robot market , which had been growing rapidly in 2019, began to slow down, the domestic industrial robot market experienced an "emergency brake" phenomenon. The new journey of 2020 has already begun, the epidemic has suddenly occurred on the way forward. Can industrial robots overcome all obstacles forge ahead this time?

In terms of revenue, the “Big Four” (Fanuc, Yaskawa, ABB Kuka) accounted for approximately 56.4% of the global market share in 2018. This trend remained unchanged in 2019. However, the industrial robot industry is diversifying is laying a solid foundation for future growth.

In the past year, multi-joint robot shipments accounted for 59.6%, becoming the largest market by robot type in 2019, is expected to account for 57.5% of the total market by 2023.

Collaborative robots accounted for 7.3% of revenue 6.8% of shipments. Although they currently appear to account for a small share of the entire industrial robot market, they are expected to grow the fastest by 2023 account for 11.7% of shipments.

Among them, Epson was the supplier of SCARA robots in 2018, with a market share of 15.5% in terms of revenue. Universal Robots continued to dominate the collaborative robot market in 2018, with a market share of more than 40%.

According to the Industrial Robot Market Report, global industrial robot revenue fell by 4.3% in 2019, while shipment growth was the same as the previous year. This was attributed to the global economic slowdown in 2019. The Sino-US trade war the instability of the global automotive industry caused the growth of industrial robots as a whole to be lower than expected.

In 2019, China accounted for 27% of the global industrial robot market revenue 44.5% of shipments. After several years of rapid growth, the mature application market of traditional industrial robots has become saturated, other large-scale potential markets have just been developed, the momentum for sustained market growth has weakened.

The report predicts that by 2023, China's industrial robot shipments will account for half of the global industrial robot shipments. After the adaptation adjustment at the end of 2019, the robot industry is slowly recovering the downturn, the industry is also becoming diversified, including product structure, new industry applications supply chain. It is expected that global industrial robot orders will be released in a concentrated manner after the epidemic.

New technologies in artificial intelligence

Realizing the application of robots in industry combining them with artificial intelligence is an extremely difficult challenging project. This will help robots become more autonomous. With the development of digitalization, in the future, the entire supply chain of the manufacturing industry, whether it is horizontal cooperation between enterprises vertical collaboration between departments within an enterprise, can rely on advanced artificial intelligence digitalization to improve the efficiency of the supply chain!

In today's digital age, the combination of artificial intelligence robotics technology is roughly equivalent to the "crystallization" of disposable robotic limbs human wisdom. Through the optimization of warehousing logistics links such as intelligent picking, handling, sorting, highly flexible human-computer interaction, it empowers all walks of life to achieve the goal of improving operational efficiency reducing labor costs labor intensity.

In the traditional construction industry, building a house requires dozens of workers several months, while robots can build a large house in just a few days.

The cooking robot at the "Sobaichi nonowa Higashi Koganei store" in the forecourt of JR East Koganei Station in Japan is also very adept at cooking noodles, boiling, rinsing draining the buckwheat noodles in one go.

Recently, Boston Dynamics released the robot dog Spot 2.0, which has enhanced autonomous navigation, autonomy, communication, payload support other functions, will empower all walks of life. It is expected that Spot's head-mounted arm will be available sometime this year, which will make all kinds of crazy new applications possible.

In the process of intelligent manufacturing, when robots are equipped with the wings of artificial intelligence, they will soar into the infinite space of the automated future.

In the 1990s, the development of high-level environmental information sensors information processing technology, highly adaptable control technology planning technology in real environments marked the development of higher-level research on industrial robots. To date, the numerous types application scenarios of industrial robots are no longer as simple as they used to be.

Looking back to 2019, the cold winter has passed the market has recovered. The life--death race for the development of industrial robots in 2020 has already begun. The market has changed suddenly, the industrial robot industry will also intensify the cruel reshuffle of survival of the fittest.

Let us look forward to a new round of transformation of industrial robots after the epidemic. Shenzhen Huiwen Intelligent Co., Ltd., a high-end robot full industry chain service provider, is dedicated to serving you.
