IDC report: China's industrial embodied intelligent robot market will reach 5.74 billion yuan in 2025, and the commercialization process is accelerating across the board

IT House reported on August 1 that on July 31, International Data Corporation (IDC) data showed that China’s industrial embodied intelligent robot market size will be approximately 5.74 billion yuan in 2025, of which the embodied intelligent application market size using industrial robots as a carrier will be approximately 3.62 billion yuan, becoming the main direction for the current industrial commercialization. As industrial competition gradually shifts from the performance of robots to the comprehensive competition of models, data, engineering and scene implementation capabilities, industrial embodied intelligent robots are becoming an important direction for the development of intelligent manufacturing. Industrial embodied intelligent robots refer to intelligent robot systems that are oriented to industrial production environments and integrate artificial intelligence models, multi-modal perception systems, robot control systems and robot bodies to enable robots to have closed-loop capabilities such as perception, learning, decision-making and execution, and to complete autonomous tasks and interact with people and production equipment in real industrial scenarios. IDC data shows that in 2025, China's industrial embodied intelligent robot market will enter the commercialization acceleration stage, with the overall market size being approximately 5.74 billion yuan. The current market mainly uses polymorphic robots as carriers to realize the integration of perception, learning, decision-making and execution capabilities through intelligent upgrading of industrial production lines and manufacturing stations, and promote the development of manufacturing scenarios in a more flexible and autonomous direction. IDC data shows that the market size of embodied intelligence applications based on industrial robots will be approximately 3.62 billion yuan in 2025, occupying the current dominant position in the market. Mainly include collaborative robots, composite (mobile operation) robots, multi-joint robots, etc. This type of robot relies on a mature industrial foundation and integrates visual perception, force control technology, environmental understanding and embodied intelligent model capabilities to achieve the integrated delivery of "robotic hardware + intelligent software + industry services". It has been used in industrial scenarios such as loading and unloading, quality inspection, grinding and repair, flexible assembly, material handling, etc. In 2025, new embodied intelligent carriers represented by humanoid robots are entering the exploration stage of industrial scenarios, with a market size of approximately 2.11 billion yuan.
