China's Industrial Robot Industry Chain: Trends and Business Opportunities
With the global manufacturing sector undergoing intelligent upgrades, industrial robots have become a key driving force in enhancing production efficiency and optimizing manufacturing processes. Driven by market demand, China’s industrial robot industry has been growing rapidly. From 2019 to the first three quarters of 2024, the market share of domestic brands in China increased from 30% to 51.3%, and it is expected to reach 53.3% by 2025, accelerating the process of domestic substitution.

China’s industrial robot industry chain can be divided into three key segments: upstream core component manufacturing, midstream robot manufacturing and system integration, and downstream industry applications.
Upstream: Core Components
This segment includes controllers, robotic arms, sensors, servo systems, reducers, and end effectors. These key components determine the performance of robots. Previously, China relied heavily on imports, but in recent years, significant technological breakthroughs in domestic core components have provided cost advantages and are gradually replacing foreign products.
Midstream: Robot Manufacturing & System Integration
This stage mainly involves the production of industrial robot units and the development of intelligent integration solutions tailored to specific industry needs. Chinese companies have made breakthroughs in six-axis robots, collaborative robots, and SCARA robots, achieving international competitiveness.
Downstream: Industry Applications
Industrial robots are widely applied in automobile manufacturing, 3C electronics, metal processing, food and beverage, chemical industry, warehousing and logistics, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and rubber and plastic industries. As the demand for smart manufacturing grows, the penetration of industrial robots across various sectors continues to rise.
