TOP10 in the 2022 Chinese market for arc welding robot shipments
According to data from GGII, the sales of arc welding robots in the Chinese market reached 30800 units in 2022, a year-on-year decrease of 25.96%. In 2023, the overall prosperity of the manufacturing industry will gradually improve, driving an increase in demand in the general industrial industry. GGII optimistically estimates that the sales of arc welding robots in the Chinese market will reach 33500 units in 2023, with a year-on-year growth rate of 8.77%.
GGII has released the "Top 10 Shipping Quantity Ranking of Arc Welding Robot Brands in the Chinese Market in 2022" by conducting research on various arc welding robot brands and verifying data on surrounding supporting equipment and upstream and downstream supply chains.
TOP 2 2023 Opening Observation: Multiple Enterprises Achieve Huge Production Line Orders
With the continuous release of market demand, the robotics industry has shown signs of recovery, and under such a positive trend, enterprises must prepare for two things: first, clear positioning. Nowadays, with the continuous deepening of technology, the application of robots in the industrial field is becoming more and more segmented. Some people focus on a single segmented field, focusing on specialization, depth, and precision. Some people also leverage the advantages of brands to focus on being big and comprehensive. Therefore, before officially starting a business, companies should first establish their positioning and identify their goals in order to find the "certainty" and "sustainability" that suit them in the rapidly changing market.
Secondly, build strong delivery capabilities. In the past year, many companies have accumulated a large number of orders, and some even expressed helplessly in 2022: "We do not plan to take on new orders until we complete the orders in hand. At this stage, the company has mobilized all employees to work overtime to ensure customer order delivery." Therefore, under the continuous activation of the market, robot companies cannot just blindly rush, strengthen delivery capabilities, and do a good job in after-sales service, which is also a major key to progress.

Top 5 list: Top 10 overseas orders from Chinese mobile robot companies in 2022
Looking back at 2022, mobile robot companies generally face difficulties in financing, order grabbing, delivery, and payment collection. Since the relaxation of epidemic policies, the pressure on the upstream supply chain of mobile robots has been alleviated in 2023, and the attitude of downstream investors has significantly changed. Factory planning in 2023 will be more proactive than before, and orders worldwide will begin to significantly increase. Steadily expanding production and setting sail to sea, a group of mobile robot companies are on the road to finding new growth points.
In order to present the current overseas market performance of mobile robot companies more intuitively and clearly, GGII conducted a survey and analysis of most mobile robot manufacturers in China, combined with public data and industry expert interviews, and based on the export order situation of enterprises, released the "Top 10 Overseas Orders of Chinese Mobile Robot Enterprises in 2022" list.
