China leads global industrial robot market for 11th straight year

In the last three years, 430,000 industrial robots were produced in China.

China has retained its position as the world's largest market for industrial robots for the 11th consecutive year, according to an official from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In 2023, China produced 430,000 industrial robots, with more than half of the global market's new robot installations occurring in China over the past three years.

Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, emphasised at the World Robot Conference in Beijing the progress of China’s robot industry in innovation and development, particularly in bionic perception, cognition, planning, and control technologies.

By July 2024, China held over 190,000 valid robot-related patents, accounting for about two-thirds of the total global patents in this field.

The official also discussed China’s "Robot Plus Application" initiative, which aims to integrate robots across various industries. Over the past 10 years, the number of robots per 10,000 workers in China’s manufacturing sector has risen sharply from 49 to 470.
