Several Chinese brands already develop servo motors for robots to replace imported ones more quickly, despite lagging behind in servo motor technology that targets low- and mid-end markets. Taiwanese brands, typically Delta Electronics, with performance of products close to Japanese counterparts and prices ranging between Chinese and Japanese products, gain pace in low- and mid-end markets, commanding roughly 10% of China market. The current mid- and high-end servo motor markets of China are monopolized by foreign companies, with the imported products sweeping over 70% of China's industrial robot servo motor market.Įuropean and American brands such as Siemens, Schneider and Bosch Rexroth remain competitive in high-end equipment and production lines for their products feature high overload capacity, good dynamic response and high driver openness but with high price, large size and heavy weight.įocusing on cost-effective, high reliability small and medium power products that better meet the needs of Chinese users, Japanese brands like Panasonic, Yaskawa, Mitsubishi and Sanyo have built a stable, loyal customer base, with a more than 50% share of China market. In China, a large number of servo motor players are divided into three camps: Taiwanese and Japanese, European and American, and Chinese brands. The same is true for industrial robot servo motors. The downstream demand is expected to maintain steady increase. In future, as industrial automation becomes an effective way for medium and large companies to sustain rapid growth, industrial robots as the pearl of industrial automation will come to the front on the strength of small investment, quick returns and energy saving.Īutomotive, steel, chemical and other sectors will push on with industrial restructuring with the implementation of the Made in China strategy, which will ease overheated investment and overcapacity in some sectors.
