Industrial robot and mobile robot, it can be said that in recent years the robot world hot fried chicken. However, although both are star families in the circle, their development history, current status, driving factors and competitive pattern are different. Let's make a simple comparison from the perspective of their respective size and development speed today.
Industrial robot is a multi-joint manipulator or multi-degree-of-freedom mechanism widely used in the industrial field. It usually includes multi-joint robot, SCARA, cooperative robot, Delta robot and cartesian coordinate robot. In 2020, the number of industrial robots shipped in China will exceed 150,000, and the market sales scale of ontology will exceed 18 billion YUAN.
Mobile robots cover all kinds of robots used for material handling in manufacturing and warehousing and logistics environments, including AGV, QR code mobile robots, and all kinds of track navigation products, including laser SLAM and visual SLAM mobile robots.
In 2020, the size of China's mobile robot market, whether from the number of shipments or sales, is less than one third of industrial robots. But if we look at the respective growth rates of the two markets from a different perspective, the picture is very different.
The explosive growth period of China's industrial robot market appeared from 2013 to 2017. During this period, except for 2015 and 2016, the market growth rate was slightly less than 30%, and the growth rate in 13, 14 and 17 years was above 50%. The mobile robot market can be said to be a rising star, the industry began to usher in high-speed growth from 18 to 19 years, the number of shipped units in these years has not been less than 20% growth.
In particular, in 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, a considerable part of the industry experienced a decline in growth, and the overall sales of China's industrial robot market also recorded a negative growth for the first time. In contrast, the growth of mobile robot market in 2020 is still very strong.
Based on our current 2020-2025 market size forecasts, we expect industrial robot growth to remain in the single digits and mobile robot growth to be no less than 25% cagR.
So what is the continuing power behind the rapid growth of mobile robots? Will it surpass industrial robots in market size at some point in the future? We'll give our opinion later in the programme.
