Robot manufacturer Aibo Technology is facing challenges as it attempts to expand its market presence in the Red Sea region. As of February 3, 2026, Aibo has officially filed for an IPO, marking its first foray into public trading. The company aims to raise funds to enhance production capabilities and expand its operations.
Aibo’s report indicates that the company plans to utilize the funds to improve its research and development capabilities, increase production efficiency, and develop overseas business opportunities. The company is positioned as a leader in the robotics industry in China, despite facing intense competition.
In January, Aibo reported that its revenue had been steadily increasing, with its robotic systems gaining traction in various markets. However, the company’s growth in the second half of the year was hindered by increased competition and economic fluctuations.
Analysts expect Aibo to maintain a significant market share, with predictions suggesting that by 2029, the robotic market will reach a valuation of 78 billion yuan, with China contributing approximately 19 billion yuan.
Aibo has faced challenges in diversifying its product offerings. The company aims to introduce high-speed SCARA robots and collaborative robots in the coming years to stay competitive. The market for SCARA robots is projected to grow significantly, with a forecasted increase of 31.5% in demand.
Despite setbacks, Aibo remains focused on expanding its product line and enhancing customer service. The company has already secured partnerships with several international clients and is looking to increase its footprint in the global market.
As Aibo prepares for its IPO, the company is anticipated to face rigorous scrutiny regarding its financial health and growth prospects. Investors are keenly watching how Aibo will navigate the challenges ahead and whether it can sustain its growth trajectory in the rapidly evolving robotics market.
