In 2024, China installed approximately 295,000 of the 542,000 industrial robots deployed worldwide, reinforcing its manufacturing dominance despite a shrinking population. The ‘2025 World Robotics Report’ by the International Federation of Robotics reveals China's total active robots surged to 2.027 million. Tsinghua University's Gao Xudong emphasizes that automation is key to maintaining manufacturing competitiveness. As humanoid robots emerge, the nation faces a projected skilled labor shortfall of 50 million by 2030, demanding investment in workforce training.
