Abstract: The application of industrial robots has injected strong momentum into economic and social development. Taking Chinese A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2007 to 2022 as research samples, this study investigates the impact of industrial robot application on the product market performance of enterprises from the perspective of supply chain resilience. The findings indicate that industrial robot applications can significantly improve the product market performance of enterprises. The analysis of the impact mechanism reveals that the application of industrial robots can optimize the supply-demand matching and stabilize the supply-demand relationship of enterprises, thus improving the product market performance of enterprises. The heterogeneity test shows that in the enterprises with high employee education or in the labor-intensive enterprises, the application of industrial robots has a stronger effect on improving the market performance of enterprise products. Further analysis reveals that the application of industrial robots in the supply chain has spillover effects, and the application of industrial robots can improve the financial performance of upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain. To this end, it is necessary to vigorously develop the industrial robot industry, support and encourage enterprises to widely apply industrial robots, so as to improve their product market performance.

Key words: industrial robot, supply chain resilience, product market performance, smart manufacturing
