Slowdown unlikely to hit robotics
Print Edition
CHINA’S robotics industry is expected to grow by 25-30 percent annually until 2018 despite a slower GDP growth rate.
China is feeding the demand from the automotive and consumer electronics industries, said Anne Wendel, machine vision group director of VDMA Robotics+Automation, a Germany-based association.
Sales in China are expected to hit over 140,000 units in 2018, compared with just around 80,000 units in 2015, he said.
China, Japan, US, South Korea and Germany are the top-five suppliers globally, accounting for 70 percent of the global market share.
Meanwhile, China’s top smartphone vendor Huawei has announced a cooperation pact with Kuka on robotics and smart manufacture.
Chinese companies Foxconn and Midea have already adopted robots to improve work efficiency and save labor cost.
