The export volume of Japanese industrial robots to China decreased by nearly 20%, and the fast-growing market ushered in a plateau period

According to data released by the Japan Robot Industry Association on October 25, the total shipments of industrial robots from July to September 2018 (based on member company statistics) fell 5.0% year-on-year to 186.1 billion yen. Since April-June 2016, there has been a decrease for the first time in 9 quarters. This is because the value of exports to China, the main export destination, has decreased by nearly 20%. The industrial robot market, which continues to maintain rapid growth, has ushered in a plateau period.

Of the total shipments, shipments to Japan decreased by 0.7% year-on-year to 48 billion yen, which was little change. On the other hand, exports fell by 6.5% to 138.1 billion yen, the first decrease in 8 quarters. The main reason for the sharp decline in exports was the sluggish performance of exports to China, which accounted for nearly half of the exports, which fell by 18.5% to 55.5 billion yen.

The uses of industrial robots are mainly divided into car-oriented and electronic equipment-oriented. Among the robots exported to China, the robots used in the welding process of automobiles remained the same year-on-year, while the robots used in the assembly of electronic parts fell sharply.
