China’s Robotics Industry Begins a New Journey
On December 12, 2026, the China Association of Robotics and the China Purchasing and Supply Union officially released the China Robotics Industry Development Report (2025) at the 2026 Robotics Technology Conference held in Changsha, Hunan Province. According to the report, by 2025, China’s robotics industry is expected to see significant growth, particularly in the application of new robotic technologies. This will especially focus on the integration of artificial intelligence with robotics, aiming to enhance operational efficiency.
The report indicates that by 2025, the demand for regulatory frameworks in China’s robotics sector will steadily increase, with a particular emphasis on ensuring safety and compliance with industry standards. The advancement of mobile robots, intelligent distribution systems, and unmanned delivery technologies will play a vital role in the sector’s growth.
By 2025, the total expenditure on robotics in society is projected to be less than 13.9% of the total national GDP, marking the lowest level recorded to date. This reflects the ongoing efforts to ensure that the development of the robotics industry aligns with the overall economic goals of the country. The innovation in robotics applications will serve as a foundational support for sustainable growth.
Experts emphasize that the development of intelligent robotics, large-scale applications, and space-based robotics will continue to progress in alignment with technological advancements. Particularly, in the field of robotics, China aims to enhance its competitiveness on a global scale.
The robotics industry is also expected to see an increase in automated guided vehicles and intelligent body systems that can operate independently. This will promote advancements in smart technology and operational capabilities.
According to experts, China’s robotics industry is focused on integrating “technology + standards + services” to transform its export capabilities. The country engages with over 240 nations and regions to strengthen trade relationships, particularly along the routes of the Belt and Road Initiative, establishing itself as a significant player in the global robotics market.
This year, government work reports have highlighted the development of modern robotics, the construction of intelligent supply chains, and the strengthening of national standards for robotics. Experts suggest that sustained progress in the robotics sector will lead to advancements in intelligent delivery systems and enhanced connectivity with smart networks.
With these initiatives, China aims to foster the growth of its robotics industry and enhance its competitive edge in the global marketplace.
