Industrial robots reducer's prospect

Robot industry is one of the most high-profile industries, and has a tremendous development space. Precision speed reducer is the most critical functional part in industrial robots, which is a crucial link in the robot industrial chain.

Data shows that in 2015, the demand for industrial robots reducer is 403,300 units, the scale of demand reached 4.47 billion RMB. According to the growth of industrial robot sales and ownership, it is estimated that by 2025, the demand for industrial robot reducer will reach 1.05 million units and the demand scale will be around 7.7 billion RMB.

On a global scale, robot reducer market has been monopolized by Japanese companies, other countries have limited strength. According to statistics, three Japanese enterprises(Sumitomo, HarmonicDrive and Nabtesco) accounted for more than 80% of the global market share, which makes them in an absolute monopoly position.

At present, 75% of the world market of precision speed reducer is occupied by HarmonicDrive and Nabtesco. Nabtesco's RV reducers take 60% and HarmonicDrive's harmonic speed reducer is with 15% share. Japanese speed reducer technology has always been far ahead, famous international industrial robot companies like ABB, Fanuc, Yaskawa, and KUKA continuously choose the speed reducers from these two companies.

Although in recent years, China's robot reducer manufacturers increased investment, there is still a gap between current situation and mass production. Is it possible to break the market monopoly of Japanese enterprises? The future depends on domestic robotics manufacturers.

According to the forecast of the state authority department, from 2015 to 2018, the new demand of China's industrial robots reducer will reach 236,000 units, 296,000 units, 369,000 units and 462,000 units in turn. In addition, according to the general 8 to 10 years' service life of industial robots reducers in domestic market,  in the future, the market demand for precision reducer in China will exceed 1 million units, and the annual market sales will exceed 10 billion RMB.

Overall, the robot reducer industry prospects can be expected, there is a huge potential demand. As the core component of robot reducers, bearings' quality and service life directly affect the whole speed reducers performance. RIGIA specialized in manufacturing harmonic speed reducer bearings since 2010, products including CSF|CSG harmonic drive unit output bearings and SHF|SHG harmonic reducer bearings.
