China's factories turned out 773,000 industrial robots in 2025. Four years earlier the figure was 366,000. Output dipped once, from 443,000 in 2022 to 430,000 in 2023, and then rose to 556,000 in 2024.
The step from 2024 to 2025 added 217,000 units in one year. These are production numbers. Installations in Chinese factories are counted separately by the IFR.
