Media: The development of industrial robots in China will help compensate for labor loss
The South China Morning Post reported that last year, Chinese factories installed approximately 295,000 industrial robots, compensating for the labor shortage caused by population decline. The development of robot technology in China helps solve the problem of labor shortages and enhances manufacturing capabilities. "With the development of humanoid robot technology, manufacturing capabilities will be further improved," the report said.
The newspaper also quoted experts as saying: "Despite the overall decline in population, China's manufacturing industry has no problem in maintaining and enhancing its competitiveness due to the improvement in the education level of the workforce and the widespread use of robots."
The newspaper pointed out that China's population has been declining since 2022; last year, the population decreased by 1.39 million. However, the number of industrial robots in operation in China has reached a historical high.
According to government data, China's population fell by about 0.1% last year. At the same time, the report emphasized that the number of robots installed increased by 5% to 295,000 units, accounting for 54% of the total new industrial robots installed worldwide.
