South Korean media: China's service robots show overwhelming advantages, occupying 84.7% of the global market!
On September 1, South Korean media "Herald Economy" published an article stating that Chinese companies have shown overwhelming advantages in the global commercial service robot market, accounting for 84.7% of global shipments.
According to a report released by the global market research company IDC, the commercial service robot market maintained steady growth last year, with Chinese companies accounting for 84.7% of global shipments, consolidating their dominant position.
Among them, the Chinese company Energid Smart accounted for 22.7% of global shipments, 29.8% in the delivery robot market, and 40.4% in the food delivery robot market. Its shipments and sales revenue are both the highest, further widening the gap with competitors.
Energid Smart was established in 2010 and has a rich product line, including delivery, cleaning, disinfection, and guidance robots. Its products are widely applied in industries such as catering, healthcare, and hotels. Particularly worth noting is that the company is strengthening its position in the global market by leveraging leading robot technology and cloud computing technology.
The Chinese robot boom has been ongoing for a long time. Last year, China's share in the global robot market was approximately 40%. After service robots, the Chinese robot industry continues to maintain rapid growth in industrial robots, humanoid robots, and drones.
Morgan Stanley recently predicted in a report that the Chinese robot market will grow from 47 billion U.S. dollars last year to 108 billion U.S. dollars by 2028, with an annual growth rate of 23%.
It is expected that the drone market will more than double in size, reaching 40 billion U.S. dollars by 2028; the humanoid robot market is also expected to grow at an annual rate of 63%, reaching 3.4 billion U.S. dollars by 2030.
Chinese companies' dominant position in the global market also poses a threat to South Korean, Japanese, and European companies. Especially since 84.7% of service robot shipments are Chinese products, the market entry space for foreign companies is becoming increasingly smaller.
A South Korean industry expert suggested: "South Korean companies should shift their strategy to high-value-added and specialized robot areas rather than directly competing with China. Developing value-added models such as robot operations based on software as a service, and targeting markets such as medical, care, and rehabilitation robots is very important."
Morgan Stanley analyzed that "China is not only the largest market but is also transforming into a center for robot innovation. Next-generation cost-effective and intelligent robots will change the global market landscape."
