The 3C manufacturing industry has the characteristics of a large number of workers, many repetitive tasks, and fast update speed. Under the background of China's intelligent manufacturing and the disappearance of demographic dividends, the 3C industry is becoming more and more urgent to upgrade automation. 3C products are the general term for computers, communications and consumer electronics, among which mobile phones are the most important part of 3C products. China's smartphone shipments were 472 million units, an increase of 8.7% year-on-year, accounting for 32% of the global market share. There are many types of parts in the 3C industry, many parts do not require high technology, and there is a lot of room for domestic substitution.

In recent years, although the growth of traditional consumer electronics products has slowed down, emerging consumer electronics products represented by mobile phones, tablet computers, and wearable devices have grown rapidly. The application of 5G is an important change in the smartphone industry. 5G mobile phones have higher requirements for chip processing capabilities, battery technology, and heat dissipation. Testing and assembly equipment need to be upgraded or replaced. The 3C automation equipment industry has a good development prospect.

According to the "2020-2025 China 3C Automation Equipment Industry Market In-depth Analysis and Investment Strategy Consulting Research Report" issued by Zhongyan Puhua Industry Research Institute:

3C products are the general term for computers, communications and consumer electronics, among which mobile phones are the most important part of 3C products. There are many types of parts in the 3C industry, many parts do not require high technology, and there is a lot of room for domestic substitution. The vigorous development of domestic mobile phones has brought a huge terminal market for downstream components. With the significant increase in the income and consumption capacity of domestic residents and the commercial operation of 4G, people's demand for mobile terminals such as smartphones, tablet computers, and wearable devices continues to expand, and China's consumer electronics market is showing a rapid growth trend. my country is the world's largest manufacturer of 3C products, and more than 70% of the world's electronic products are manufactured and assembled in China.

3C Automation Equipment Market Development Status

From the perspective of the industrial chain, the 3C automation equipment manufacturing industry can be divided into three links: the upstream is the key component sub-industry, which mainly produces core components such as electronic components, flat panel displays, and mobile chips; the midstream is the 3C automation equipment industry; the downstream is the 3C automation equipment application industry, including computers, mobile phones and other fields.

In order to realize the need to replace labor, the 3C automation system has high precision requirements and technical difficulties for the required mechanical equipment. 3C automation equipment usually integrates mechanical systems, motion systems, electrical control systems, sensing systems, information management systems, cloud computing, big data, etc. In recent years, under the background of rising labor costs and continuously improving production efficiency requirements, the demand for 3C automation equipment has grown rapidly, and the industry has developed rapidly.

The vigorous development of domestic mobile phones has brought a huge terminal market for downstream components. With the significant increase in the income and consumption capacity of domestic residents and the commercial operation of 4G, people's demand for mobile terminals such as smartphones, tablet computers, and wearable devices continues to expand, and China's consumer electronics market is showing a rapid growth trend. my country is the world's largest manufacturer of 3C products, and more than 70% of the world's electronic products are manufactured and assembled in China.

my country is the world's largest manufacturer of 3C products. The degree of automation is still at a relatively low level, and there is huge room for improvement. The manufacturing of 3C products can be divided into production, processing, parts assembly, complete machine assembly, maintenance, packaging and other links. More than 70% of the world's electronic products are manufactured and assembled in China. China's 3C processing market has a huge demand for production equipment . At present, the automation rate of production equipment in my country is still at a low level, and the industry penetration is far from reaching saturation. The density of industrial robots is an important indicator of the rate of industrial automation. There is still a big gap between my country and Japan, South Korea and Germany, which are advanced manufacturing countries.

China's 3C manufacturing industry completed a fixed asset investment of about 1,758.7 billion yuan in 2019. If roughly calculated based on the 30% investment in equipment in the electronics manufacturing industry, the scale of China's 3C equipment market in 2019 will be about 500 billion yuan. Related news has reported that Foxconn, which has the highest degree of automation in the mobile phone industry, has about 30% automation in the production line of Apple mobile phones. If the national 3C automation equipment penetration rate is between 10% and 20%, the corresponding market space for 3C automation equipment is about 50 billion to 100 billion. In the future, as the penetration rate of automation equipment gradually increases, the market space for automation equipment will also expand accordingly.

The competition in the 3C manufacturing industry is fierce, China's demographic dividend is gradually disappearing, and the cost side drives the industry's automation rate to increase. At present, my country's 3C production enterprises mainly exist in the form of OEM, producing products with low added value, mainly relying on the comparative advantage of labor force, and the profit level is not high. With the gradual disappearance of my country's demographic dividend, the gradual increase in manufacturing labor costs, and the improvement of the comprehensive strength of domestic component companies, 3C industry automation is the only solution that can effectively reduce production costs.

3C Automation Equipment Market Trend and Prospect Forecast

"The Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan" proposes "implementing the strategy of manufacturing a strong country", and it is necessary to "deeply implement intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing projects, develop new service-oriented manufacturing models, and promote high-end, intelligent, and green manufacturing." The state encourages manufacturing The upgrading and transformation of the industry and the development of intelligent manufacturing will help promote the development of the 3C automation equipment manufacturing industry.
