Among them, manipulators and industrial robots are both used in the industrial field and can be collectively referred to as industrial robots, but the former is relatively simple and less intelligent, while the latter is more complex and more intelligent! Service robots are robots used in non-industrial fields to provide services to humans.
In 2015, the global industrial Robot was 12.3 billion US dollars, and the service robot market size was 8.5 billion US dollars.
Industrial Robot Markets and Applications
In 2015, the sales volume of China’s industrial robot market exceeded 66,000 units, continuing to maintain its position as the world’s largest industrial robot market. In addition, China ranks first in the global industrial robot population with 332,300 units, and Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, Thailand, Spain, France and the United Kingdom are among the top ten countries and regions.
However, in terms of robot density, that is, the number of robots per 10,000 employees is less than 30 in my country, far below the global average of about 66.
At this stage, manufacturers in the automotive industry are still the largest users of industrial robots, followed by the electrical/electronics industry.

Introduction of major industrial robot manufacturers in Europe and America
Europe is the leader in the global industrial robot market, and has achieved complete autonomy of core components such as sensors, controllers, and precision reducers. Europe has taken a leading position in the field of industrial robots and medical robots.
The characteristics of the European model are: a package of turnkey projects, that is, the production of robots and the design and manufacture of systems required by users, all completed by the robot manufacturers themselves.
ABB Switzerland has been committed to the research and development and production of robots for more than 30 years and has experience in the installation of more than 160,000 sets of robots around the world. Technology and services, as well as the largest installed capacity of robots, is the oldest member of the four major robot families in the world.
