To that end, the local government in Guangdong will invest the equivalent of $152-billion to replace humans with robots within three years. Robotic fleets could appear in as many as 2,000 companies across the province, in addition to two advanced industrial bases for robot production.
With factories run almost entirely by robots, it will become increasingly difficult for manufacturers outside of China to compete. Owing to similar demographic and economic trends elsewhere, this may force companies outside of China to adopt similar strategies. At the same time, advances in automation are increasingly poised to remove humans from assembly-line work. It’s not going to make sense for companies to maintain a workforce when it can just use robots. The zero-labor factories in China are likely just the start of what’s going to be a global trend .
