TrendForce Forecasts China Humanoid Robot Market to Reach 15 Billion RMB in 2026

TrendForce's latest robotics industry research indicates that humanoid robot deployment in China is now entering diverse scenarios such as automotive, 3C, aviation, logistics, and energy. This expansion signals a shift from pure technological demonstration toward actual commercial application, with product commercialization testing beginning in earnest.

At the 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC) held on August 19, the event organizers introduced a dedicated "Procurement Day" for the first time, focusing on procurement negotiations and supply chain coordination. This initiative reflects a growing emphasis on practical demand rather than merely showcasing technology, aligning with the industry's evolution toward market-driven growth.

TrendForce forecasts that China's humanoid robot market will reach 15 billion RMB in 2026, and with the expansion of mass production and the increase of application scenarios, the market is expected to maintain at least 60% growth in 2027. This projection underscores the rapid momentum and significant potential of the sector.
