In 2015，industrial robot sales hit a new record which increased by 15% to 253，748 units. For three consecutive years，China has become the largest industrial robot market in the world. In recent years，market share of domestic brands has increased slightly. Governments at all levels actively design layout of industrial robot industry. Activities of R&D and application about industrial robot accelerate remarkably. International manufacturers focus on cutting-edge technology such as man-machine collaboration，while domestic enterprises focus on independent research and application. Industrial robot is still a hot spot for investment. However，research on core technology is still slow in China. The market share of high-end products is small，and the promotion of domestic brands need to be accelerated. In the future，Development Plan of Industrial Robot （2016-2020） would be deployed，in order to achieve technology breakthrough，application and policy guidance. Therefore，industrial robot industry can maintain sustainable and healthy development.
