Demand for industrial robots is predicted to hit 32,000 units in China by 2014, making the manufacturing giant the world's largest robotics consumer.
At the China International Industry Fair, which ended on Saturday, China's robot manufacturers exhibited their models in direct competition with their foreign counterparts.
The fair attracted more than 1,800 participants over the five-day exhibition, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
At the event, a Chinese company, SIASUN Robot & Automation Co demonstrated their new models, which are integrated with numerical control machines that can accomplish multi-procedure processes. The company's self-designed products have been exported to overseas markets including the US, Canada, Russia and India, the report said.
Despite the growing sector, the industry warned that a lack of core technology will stall the development of robot manufacturing in China.
