A Comau robot is on display at the China International Robot Show last month in Shanghai. Sack's company, a branch of Comau Group of Italy, which is a subsidiary of Italy-based Fiat Group Automobiles, is moving its robot production from Italy to China this year. It is also the fastest-growing market worldwide, with total supply of industrial robots increasing by an average of 36 percent annually for the past five years, says Li Xiaojia at China Robot Industry Alliance's statistics department. In the next 10 years, China's annual growth in robots is forecast to be about 40 percent per year, industry officials say. But it was not until two things happened in the past few years－rising labor costs and China's stated desire to move its manufacturing to the next level－that the robotics industry took off, Sack says.
