In recent years, the state in the revitalization of equipment manufacturing industry, the development of high-end manufacturing industry, the development of strategic emerging industries and other aspects of the intensive introduction of a number of policies and supportive measures, "Made in China 2025" clearly planned for China's manufacturing industry in the next 10 road of industry is a road of intelligence, automation; in the national economy, "thirteenth five-year" development plan also clearly planned the key areas of development. "Development plan also clearly planned the key areas of development, intelligent manufacturing equipment industry as a key area of high-end manufacturing, its development has been strongly supported by the national and local levels.
Because of the strong support of national policy, China's investment and financing for intelligent manufacturing is also very concerned about, in recent years, China's intelligent manufacturing investment and financing market is a hot.
In recent years, with the rapid development of China's science and technology, China has been gradually from "Made in China" to "Made in China" step forward. 5G era of the arrival of China's science and technology enterprises to promote the rapid rise of China's science and technology enterprises, but also accelerate the promotion of China's "Made in China". The 5G era has further promoted the rapid rise of China's technology enterprises, and also accelerated the development process of China's "Made in China". During the 2020 New Crown epidemic, in the face of the residents of the travel blocked, the enterprise resumption difficulties, the lack of medical personnel, many intelligent manufacturing enterprises rely on their own years of technical accumulation and manufacturing advantages, research and development of food delivery robots, intelligent medical service robots, automated temperature measurement robots, etc., so that people's lives under the epidemic can function normally.
Currently, China has the conditions and technology to develop intelligent manufacturing, including a large number of related technologies have been achieved, such as robotics, intelligent information processing technology, perception technology, etc., at the same time to the new sensors, intelligent control systems, industrial robots, automated production line based on China's intelligent manufacturing equipment industry system has also been initially formed.
The state is highly concerned about the introduction of a number of policies to support industrial intelligence
Since the industrial manufacturing industry has an important position in the national economy, China also attaches great importance to industrial manufacturing. By the end of 2019, China basically crossed the "Industry 2.0" (electrification), began to enter the stage of industrial interconnection, China began to build the factory Internet of Things, service network, data network, the Internet between factories, industrial equipment gradually realize integration. At the same time, China in recent years has also issued a number of policies to promote the development of China's industrial intelligence, especially China's enactment of the "Made in China 2025", for the development of China's "Industry 4.0" laid the foundation.
Policy to bring industry favorable investment and financing market highly concerned
With China's growing concern about industrial intelligence manufacturing, driven by the investment industry also began to pay attention to this popular. Since 2015 on the intelligent manufacturing planning and policy so that the capital market is increasingly concerned about the potential for the development of intelligent manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing field, in recent years, due to the promotion of national policy, investment and financing market is hot.
In 2015, the relevant investment began to increase, and began to increase significantly, financing events reached 491; in 2016, the number of financing events in the field of intelligent manufacturing was the largest, 677, and the overall amount of financing increased significantly compared with the previous year, reaching 18 billion U.S. dollars; in 2018, the amount of financing was the largest amount in 2015-2019, with the amount of 21.3 billion U.S. dollars.
In 2020, the investment and financing amount of China's intelligent manufacturing industry is $25.261 billion, and the overall financing amount has risen sharply compared with 2019, of which the financing amount of listed and later occupies 67% of it, compared with the proportion of 2019, which has increased by nearly 50%. Overall financing for unlisted companies had a slight increase from 2019, with the main growth being in other rounds (mainly strategic investments), except for Pre-IPOs. In terms of the number of events, in 2020, although the amount of financing has risen sharply relative to 2019, but the number of events on the number of events has been reduced to 317, compared with 2019, a decline of about 30%, which indicates that the investment amount of the event of a single investment project has increased significantly, and the investment enterprises are more willing to concentrate their capital power to invest in outstanding enterprises.
Financing rounds, due to China's intelligent manufacturing still belongs to the primary stage, a variety of technologies are still immature, so most of China's enterprises in the field of intelligent manufacturing are still in the start-up stage, and thus in financing is also more for the pre-A round.In 2019, China's intelligent manufacturing A round of pre-financing events accounted for about more than 50% of the total number of financing in the same year, of which the A round of financing events occurred 49 times, accounting for 25.65%; the financing amount of 7.474 billion, accounting for 8.92% of the total financing of the industry, the amount of financing before and after the A-round (A-round, Pre-A-round, A+-round) accounted for 14.83% of the total financing.
Labor Costs Increase Industrial Robotics Industry in the spotlight
The most representative outcome of intelligent manufacturing is the emergence of industrial robots. This is mainly due to the fact that since entering the 21st century, China's labor costs continue to increase, so industry must be upgraded and transformed. After years of development, China's industrial robots have begun to take shape, China has produced some of the key components of the robot, developed arc welding, spot welding, palletizing, assembly, handling, injection molding, stamping, painting and other industrial robots. A number of domestic industrial robots have been serving many domestic enterprises on the production line, a number of robotics research talent has emerged, some key technologies have reached or close to the world level.
At present, the field of intelligent robots is also highly concerned by the investment and financing market, in 2019, in the field of intelligent robots, according to IT Orange statistics China's intelligent robots in the field of investment and financing events 121 times, the total amount of investment amounted to 21.648 billion yuan.
