China's Rise in Robotics Automation: A Threat to Global Economy

Brief news summary

According to a report from US-based SemiAnalysis, intelligent robot automation is set to significantly enhance production capabilities across various industries, with China uniquely positioned to achieve high levels of automation. The report highlights that Chinese manufacturers are nearing a 50 percent share of the global robotics market, rising from 30 percent in 2020. It notes that while local firms are currently competitive with Western companies in the low-end market, they are increasingly dominating high-end market segments. The report warns that if China successfully implements full-scale automation without similar advancements in the US, it could pose a substantial threat to the US economy. Such a development would enable China to greatly expand its production capacities across multiple sectors, driven by advanced robotics systems, potentially reshaping global industrial dynamics and economic power.
