The reporter obtained information from the China Machinery Industry Federation. During the 14th Five - Year Plan period, China's robot industry has made remarkable leaps in development and successfully established a comprehensive industrial chain system.

From a technological perspective, the supporting capabilities for key components like displays, servo systems, and controllers have witnessed substantial enhancements. There has been a consistent rise in the localization rates of these components. In 2024, the sales volume of industrial robots from domestic brands soared to 177,000 units, registering an average annual growth rate of 33.1%. As a result, their market share in China has surpassed 50%.

In terms of application, China has taken the lead globally, accounting for over 50% of the world's new installations of industrial robots. These robots have found applications across 71 major industry categories and 241 medium - sized industry categories within the national economy.

When it comes to exports, the industry has shown impressive growth. The export volume of the robot industry climbed from USD 390 million in 2020 to USD 1.15 billion in 2024. In the first three quarters of the year, cumulative exports reached USD 1.24 billion, marking a year - on - year increase of 56%.

Looking forward to the 15th Five - Year Plan period, China is set to drive the in - depth integration of the robot industry with artificial intelligence. It will also expedite the innovation and iteration of products tailored for specific scenarios.
