According to the "World Robotics 2026" report published by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) headquartered in Frankfurt, the number of industrial robots installed in China in 2025 reached 354 thousand, an increase of 20 percent compared to the previous year.

The country, where the number of robots reached 59 percent of the world's total, maintained its position as the "largest market" in this field by far.

During this period, the electrical and electronics, automotive, metal and machinery sectors in the country led the demand for industrial robots. The number of industrial robots in the electrical and electronics industry increased by 16 percent annually to 96 thousand 400, in the automotive industry by 38 percent to 78 thousand 900, and in the metal and machinery industries by 44 percent to 78 thousand 700.

The number of robots supplied by China's domestic robot manufacturers increased by 15 percent annually to 195 thousand, and its share in the total increased to 55 percent.

IFR predicted that demand for industrial robots in China will increase as a result of the aging population and labor shortage, and the domestic market will grow by an average of 5 to 10 percent annually until 2029.
