Robot Investment Becomes a Hot Topic in Megacities

Robot Investment Becomes a Hot Topic in Megacities


In China, industrial cooperative robots have become a favorite of the capital market. For example, JAKA Robot received 300 million yuan in Series C financing in January this year, while this cooperative robot company, established in Shanghai in 2014, have received 100 million yuan in Series B financing in 2019. It is reported that in terms of commercialization, its revenue will exceed RMB 100 million in 2020, and its shipment volume will increase four times compared with that in 2019. Its products have landed in many fields such as 3C Electronics, advanced manufacturing and auto parts.
 
By simply reviewing the financing situation of robots from January to April in 2021, we can see that there is not only a small increase in quantity compared with 2019, but also more billion-level financing in amount, and even 1 billion-level large projects.
 
At the same time, we have seen different tracks show different stages of commercialization, and most of their development cannot be separated from the catalysis of the epidemic. Of course, whether these funds can really become a key bucket of gold for robots to blossom everywhere still requires us to further observe the market trends in various sub-sectors.
