With the rapid development of industrial robots，robot increasingly used in automobile manufacturing，machining，welding，handling，polishing，handling and stacking，assembling，painting and other operations No matter the industrial robot used in the manufacturing environment，or the service robot applied in the manufacturing environment，its research and development and the application of industrialization are the important marks to measure the technological innovation of a country and the development level of the high-end manufacturing. According to the status of the industrial robot industry in 2017，this paper describes the development trend of the industry. and analyzes the industrial scale，the running conditions，the industrial structure and the trade situation of the robot industry in China. It also summarizes the technical level and main problems of the robot industry in China. As we can see from the report，China's robot industry is on the rise，industrial technology develops fast in the field of high-end. But there are also problems such as weak industrial foundation，imperfect industrial system，low level of scale and market homogeneous competition. the market trend analysis shows that industrial robots industry development potential is still great，and the artificial intelligence is still the main direction of the development of the robot. Finally，the report puts forward favorable suggestions for the development of industrial robot industry from three perspectives，namely，state，enterprise and industry.
