In recent years, with the continuous introduction of artificial intelligence-related policies, technological innovation, and changes in people's lifestyles and needs, artificial intelligence products have become more and more popular in people's lives, gradually covering various scenes of people's work and life, such as medical care, education, security, property management, etc. At the same time, artificial intelligence products have become the hot spot of investment and financing, more and more favored by venture capital circles. The following small series will introduce the development status and trend of service robot for you.
Development status and trend of service robots
The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) divides robots into industrial robots and service robots, among which service robots can be subdivided into professional service robots and personal/family service robots. According to the classification of application scenarios, robots can be divided into industrial robots, service robots and special robots. Among them, service robots can be divided into public service robots, medical service robots and household service robots.
With more and more applications of service robots in people's life, the market size of service robots is also increasing year by year. According to the analysis of China Association of Electronics, the market size of Service robot in China increased year by year from 2014 to 2018. In 2018, the market size of Service robot in China reached 1.65 billion DOLLARS, with a year-on-year growth of 30.1%. In 2019, China's service robot market was about 2.2 billion US dollars. Sales of service robots worldwide are expected to reach $17 billion by 2024, according to experts.
Development status and prospect of Service robot in China
According to statistics from The China Association of Electronics, in 2019, the market size of domestic service robots, medical service robots and public service robots in China was US $1.05 billion, US $620 million and US $530 million, accounting for 47.7%, 28.2% and 24.1%, respectively. According to iMedia, household robots, entertainment and leisure robots and medical robots will occupy the top three market shares in China's service robot segments by 2025.
Intelligent industry is flagging, service robots stand out
According to relevant statistics, in the first quarter of 2020, the sales of intelligent products in many regions of the world declined significantly. About 61.8 million smartphones were shipped in February, down 38 percent from 2019 and the lowest decline in the global smartphone market's history.
Meanwhile, shipments of smart speakers fell by about 25.8% year-on-year due to the global IMPACT of COVID-19. However, in contrast to the sluggish trend of the smart digital industry, service robots showed a bright performance in the first quarter of 2020. Relevant data show that from 2020 to April 2, the service robot industry launched a total of 15 investment events, the performance is basically flat compared with 2019. According to the analysis of publicly available investment information, the investment amount is more than tens of millions of yuan, among which seven cases of investment amount is more than 100 million yuan, and the investment amount in service robot industry is larger.
Changes in China's population and industrial structure are boosting the development of service robots
China's total population continued to grow from 2015 to 2019, but the number of working-age people between 16 and 59 declined, dropping to 8.96 trillion in 2019. As the working population shrinks, Labour costs are bound to rise. At this point, the advantage of service robot replacing labor force will emerge and become the development trend. The above is the development status and trend of service robot introduced by xiaobian for you. I hope this article can help you.
