China Produced More Robots in 9 Months Than All of 2024!
The global push for Automation has just hit hyperdrive! In a clear sign of accelerating Digital Transformation, China produced an astounding 595,000 industrial robots and 13.5 million service robots in the first nine months of 2025—figures that officially surpassed the total output for the entire year of 2024 in both categories!
This explosive growth is being fueled by huge Technology Investment in sectors like Automotive, Electronics, and New Energy. The production surge is solidifying China’s position as the world's largest manufacturer and user of Robotics, with robot density in factories more than doubling since 2020.
As manufacturers embrace AI and automation to solve labor shortages and boost efficiency, this wave is fundamentally reshaping the global Manufacturing landscape and pushing the boundaries of Embodied Intelligence.
