China produces 76,300 industrial robots in September, up 28.3% y-o-y

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reported that China rolled out 76,300 industrial robots in September, up 28.3% from a year earlier. Cumulative production from January to September reached 595,000 units, surpassing the output for all of last year. This surge in production has been driven by growing automation demand in sectors such as automotive, electronics, and new energy. China has become a major global player in robot manufacturing and application, with its installed base of industrial robots ranking among the world’s highest. The rapid deployment of industrial robots is a clear sign of the ongoing transformation from “Made in China” to “Intelligently Made in China.” [Cailian Press, in Chinese]
