Description
The cumulative sales of domestically produced industrial robots in China are published by the China Robot Industry Alliance (CRIA). This indicator measures the total sales volume of industrial robots manufactured within China and serves as a benchmark for assessing the development and growth of the domestic industrial automation sector. A higher cumulative sales figure indicates a thriving industrial robotics industry, which may suggest improvements in manufacturing productivity and technological advancements.
Broadly speaking, an industrial robot is an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, and multifunctional manipulator or multi-joint robot used in production activities. It can perform various tasks in industrial automation production, either in a fixed position or with mobility.
The cumulative sales figure is calculated by summing up the total number of industrial robots sold over a specific period. This includes all domestically produced industrial robots sold to various industries, such as the automotive, electronics, and manufacturing sectors.
This data is typically updated on a monthly basis, with cumulative sales figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
