Atonomous Robotics Plans Hong Kong IPO as Leading Domestic Parallel Robot Manufacturer Aims for Profitability by Q3 2025

Atom Robot has officially submitted its IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on January 28, 2026. The company aims to list on the main board through the specialized technology company channel under Chapter 18C of the exchange’s listing rules.

Founded in 2013, Atom Robot focuses on the research, development, production, sales, and service of high-speed and highly reliable robots. Its product lineup includes parallel robots, high-speed SCARA robots, heavy-duty collaborative robots, and embodied intelligent robots. The core applications cover scenarios such as high-speed sorting, precision assembly, and accurate transportation, serving clients in various sectors including food and beverage, daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, new energy, 3C, and automotive industries.

According to Frost & Sullivan, Atom Robot has established a significant leading position in the parallel robot sector. It has ranked first in the domestic market share for self-owned brands for five consecutive years since 2020 and surpassed foreign brands starting in 2023, securing the top spot in total market share for all brands in China for two years. As of 2024, Atom Robot holds a 12.3% share of the Chinese parallel robot market, ranking first, and a 4.8% share globally, placing second. In the high-speed robot sector, the company ranks second in the domestic market with a 7.6% share and fifth globally with a 3.0% share. Within segmented industry applications, Atom Robot’s parallel robots have achieved first place in market share in the domestic food and beverage, daily chemicals, and pharmaceutical sectors, and it is the largest supplier of parallel robots in the domestic new energy industry.

Atom Robot has developed a fully self-researched system with a focus on “independent control and native innovation,” encompassing everything from design theories and foundational algorithms to core components and complete machine integration. The company’s key technologies are 100% independently controllable. Its proprietary “Scale-Structure-Drive-Precision” integrated design theory facilitates a forward design path from customer requirements to product realization. The AtomMotion real-time control platform, combined with high-power controllers, constructs an “algorithm-hardware” fusion system that reduces traditional hardware volume by 80% and power consumption by 20%. The application of high-speed, high-precision motion control algorithms and full-stack AI vision recognition algorithms achieves a repeat positioning accuracy at the micron level with a success rate exceeding 99.9%. The self-developed high-power density motors provide reliable power support for the robot’s high-speed, precise movements.

The product matrix of Atom Robot includes over 40 specifications of parallel robots across five series, 28 specifications of high-speed SCARA robots across two series, ten specifications of heavy-duty collaborative robots across four series, and two generations of embodied intelligent robots. The core product, the parallel robot, covers a full spectrum of 2-6 degrees of freedom, with a maximum payload of 50 kg and a maximum working space diameter of 2800 mm, achieving operational cycles of 80-130 times per minute, significantly exceeding industry standards. The new embodied intelligent robots, set to launch in 2025, feature a Stewart parallel structure that combines high payload capacity with agility, marking the company’s transition from specialized industrial robots to intelligent robots.

With substantial market potential in industrial robotics, Atom Robot has turned a profit, thanks to its strong technological foundation and diverse product offerings. The company has accumulated over 1,000 global enterprise clients and developed more than 1,000 segmented application cases, extending its business to over 30 countries and regions, including East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. The revenue growth rate for 2023-2024 is expected to exceed 40%, with particularly rapid growth in overseas business, anticipating a 251.6% increase in overseas revenue in 2024 compared to 2023, and a further 435.6% growth in the first three quarters of 2025.

Financial data shows that Atom Robot has maintained stable revenue growth, achieving revenues of 93.49 million yuan in 2023, 135 million yuan in 2024, and 157 million yuan in the first three quarters of 2025. The company is expanding its revenue scale continuously. In terms of profit, Atom Robot reported net losses of 39.25 million yuan in 2023 and 47.07 million yuan in 2024, but successfully achieved a net profit of 938,000 yuan in the first three quarters of 2025. Adjusted net profit reached 3.602 million yuan, marking a significant step toward sustainable profitability.

According to a Frost & Sullivan report, the global industrial robot market continues to expand, particularly in the high-speed robot segment. From 2024 to 2029, the global parallel robot market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.7%, reaching 7.8 billion yuan by 2029. The global SCARA robot market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.2%, reaching 19 billion yuan by 2029. The collaborative robot market is expected to grow even faster, with a compound annual growth rate of 30.2%, reaching 26.6 billion yuan by 2029. The global high-speed robot market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.5%, reaching 11.5 billion yuan by 2029.

As the largest industrial robot market globally, China benefits from advancements in smart manufacturing, rising labor costs, and supportive policies, indicating a clear trend towards domestic alternatives. The high-speed robot sector that Atom Robot occupies has high technical barriers, including multi-disciplinary integration and precision manufacturing, as well as high customer switching costs, creating robust industry barriers. Currently, market competition primarily involves international giants and leading domestic companies. Atom Robot is gradually increasing its market share against foreign brands by leveraging localized service advantages, cost control capabilities, and rapid iteration abilities, becoming a core player in domestic substitution.

According to the prospectus, Atom Robot plans to use the net proceeds from this IPO primarily for four key areas: continued investment in research and development to maintain its technological leadership; the construction of a multifunctional headquarters and capacity enhancement; overseas business expansion and brand development; and to supplement working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Looking ahead, Atom Robot has outlined its strategic development plans, including further consolidating its leading brand advantage in parallel robots and increasing penetration in downstream industries; enhancing its product matrix and reinforcing autonomous control over capacity and supply chains; intensifying efforts in overseas market development to cultivate a second growth curve; focusing on core technology research and development to position itself in high-value application scenarios; and continuously attracting and nurturing talent to build a globally leading research and management team.
