However,according to the latest research from the IHS Industrial Robots Intelligence Service,manufacturing overcapacity in many industries–particularly heavy industries–has the potential to limit robot market growth,particularly considering the poor short-term outlook of the Chinese economy.Local manufacturers are unlikely to spend considerable sums of money to install industrial robots,in light of excess capacity and a reduced need for productivity improvements.The alternative is to employ temporary workers,which is a flexible and a less capital-intensive process for many local manufacturers.However,labor shortages will continue in China,as the economy continues its shift to a service-based model.

然而，IHS工业机器人情报服务部的最新研究显示，中国短期经济前景不明，很多行业都出现产能过剩的情况，尤以重工业为甚，这将限制工业机器人市场增长。在这种情况下，当地制造商提高生产率的需求不大，因此不太可能投入大量资金安装工业机器人。相反，他们更愿意雇佣临时工人，因为这对他们来说更灵活、资本密集程度更低。但随着中国经济持续向服务型经济转变，劳动力短缺的问题将越来越明显。
