Shenzhen's robotics industry reached a record in 2025, with total output rising 20% year on year to more than US$35.4 billion, local data showed [1].
The southern Chinese tech hub also led the country in both service robots and industrial robots. It accounted for 43% of China's service robot output and produced nearly 8 million units last year [1].
Shenzhen also manufactured 194,900 industrial robots in 2025, equal to a quarter of national output, according to the data [1]. The city was the top-ranked city in China for output in both categories [1].
The figures were released as Fair Plus, a robotics trade show, ran in Shenzhen from Wednesday to Friday this week [1]. At the event, local firm X Square Robot showed humanoid robots that could pick up rubbish and provide on-demand cleaning services [1].
The trade show ended on Friday, with Shenzhen's robotics companies using the event to display products aimed at commercial and service uses [1].
