In recent years, the robotic industry has experienced significant growth, driven by rising labor costs and the increasing demand for corporate modernization and technological upgrades. According to data from Jinan Customs, in 2017, Shandong Province imported a total of 3,486 industrial robots, marking a 76.4% increase compared to 2016. The total value of these imports reached 360 million yuan, representing a 31.2% rise, while the average import price per unit dropped to 103,000 yuan, a decrease of 25.6% year-on-year.
A large portion of the industrial robots imported into Shandong came from Japan. Specifically, in 2017, the province imported 2,569 industrial robots from Japan, a 1.4-fold increase compared to the previous year, accounting for 73.7% of all industrial robot imports that year. Additionally, 2,447 multi-functional industrial robots were imported, also showing a 1.4 times growth, making up 70.2% of the total value of industrial robot imports in Shandong during the same period.
According to an analysis by Jinan Customs, the use of industrial robots has become more widespread across various sectors, including automotive, electronics, metal processing, and chemical/plastic industries, particularly in tasks such as transportation, welding, and assembly. As a result, the demand for industrial robots has seen strong growth. With rising labor costs, many industries are turning to automation, which is largely responsible for the sharp increase in robot imports in recent years.
