Industrial automation has arrived!
Humanoid robots usher in a golden period of development.
At the beginning of the year, I was shocked by the heavy data on industrial automation.
The “Global Humanoid Robot Market Analysis” report authoritatively released on January 23 shows that global humanoid robot shipments will soar to 18,000 units in 2025, a year-on-year surge of 508%. This marks that humanoid robots have officially entered the stage of large-scale commercial use, and the new track of industrial automation is completely launched!
What is even more proud is that Chinese manufacturers have directly achieved global dominance.
Zhiyuan Robot achieved triple global first place in one fell swoop: the overall shipment volume of 5,200 units topped the list, and the shipment volume of 1,300 full-size models ranked first. It also dominated the five mainstream application scenarios such as entertainment and commercial performances, data collection, and industrial intelligent manufacturing. The top 9 shipment manufacturers were all taken by Chinese companies. This strength is really eye-catching!
The core of being able to achieve such a breakthrough is the blessing of hard power.
Zhiyuan’s full-stack self-developed technology and modular design have significantly lowered the threshold for robot implementation. The innovative RaaS rental model has also upgraded the business model to “product + platform + service”, allowing robots to be popularized in various scenarios faster.
Moreover, full-size humanoid robots contributed 41.6% of the market revenue, becoming the core carrier of high-end automation applications, with both technology implementation and commercial realization blossoming!
The authoritative organization also gave a key prediction: the humanoid robot industry will usher in echelon differentiation in 2026. The technology, service and ecological advantages of leading manufacturers will continue to expand, and industry competition will also shift from competing for hardware to competing for comprehensive strength.
In the next three years, with technological breakthroughs, humanoid robots will penetrate into thousands of industries, and scenarios such as manufacturing inspections and logistics sorting will become new breakthroughs.
From the laboratory to commercial implementation, China’s industrial automation technology is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the global humanoid robot market, Chinese manufacturers occupy an important position by virtue of their own technical strength and innovative models.
The outstanding performance of Zhiyuan Robot is not only the result of its own efforts, but also a microcosm of the development of China’s industrial automation technology.
With the continuous application of humanoid robots in various industries, the efficiency improvements and cost reductions they will bring will be huge.
In the field of industrial intelligent manufacturing, humanoid robots can take on some repetitive and dangerous tasks, improving production efficiency and quality; in entertainment and commercial performance scenarios, humanoid robots can bring a more novel and unique performance experience; in terms of data collection, humanoid robots can complete tasks more accurately and efficiently.
The development prospects of the entire industry are clearly visible to the naked eye, and now is the golden time to enter industrial automation.
For enterprises, by seizing the trend, they can catch up with the rapid development of the industry and occupy a favorable position in future market competition.
Whether it is technology research and development, product production or application services, there is broad room for development.
It is believed that in the near future, China’s industrial automation technology will play a greater role on a global scale and make important contributions to promoting the development of global industry.
