NdFeB is mainly used in intelligent robot sensors and drive motors.

Intelligent robots include industrial robots, professional service robots and individual/home robots. According to the International Federation of Robotics, global sales of industrial robots, professional service robots and individual/home service robots increased by 29%, 11% and 17.5% respectively in 2014.

The future intelligent manufacturing and intelligent service needs rapid develop is the only way to upgrade of industrial upgrading and consumption,combined with the International Federation of robotics forecast,the next few years,the industrial robot production and sales growth rate will between 12-15%,professional service robot production and sales growth rate will between 10-12%,personal/home service robot production and sales growth rate is around 20%.Single industrial robots and professional services robot sales need around 20kg NdFeB,a single individual/home service robot NdFeB consumption is about 0.5kg.

According to the forecast of robot production and sales data for single robot, it is estimated that the consumption of NdFeB in the global robot field is 9431 tons, 10817 tons and 12799 tons respectively, increasing by 13.5%, 14.7% and 18.3%.
