Projected to 2045, the global number of older persons will exceed the number of children for the first time, mankind will enter an unprecedented aging society, ushered in a historic home service robot development opportunities. In 2012 to 300 million units were sold worldwide home service robot, the output value reached 7.2 billion, is expected to 2013-2016 output will reach 33.6 billion.

This year, China became the largest market in the world robotics and intelligent equipment industry, 2014 is also known as "First year for China robot industry," According to "China Industrial Robot Industry Production & Marketing Demand Forecast and Transformation & Upgrading Report, 2013-2017", China started off its robot industry as basically a foregone conclusion. There are at least 48 countries in the world in the development of robotics, where 25 countries have been involved in the development of service robots. In Japan, North America and Europe, so far, seven types of account balance of service robots into 40 experimental and semi-commercial applications. While the service is still in the industrialization of the early robots, medical robots, but there are simple and functional lead in home service robot industry.
