China's industrial-robot scale: 59% of world installations, and ROKAE's 10,000th arm
From the Robots digest for Oct 26, 2026
What happened: MSN reports China made and installed 59% of the world's industrial robots in 2025, citing China's National Bureau of Statistics data and the IFR World Robotics 2026 report. Beside it, PR Newswire carries ROKAE Robotics' announcement (HKEX: 3752) that it has delivered its 10,000th humanoid force-controlled arm, presented as a commercial-scale milestone.
What's genuinely new: a specific global share figure for Chinese industrial robots — 59% of 2025 installations, sourced to NBS data and the IFR World Robotics 2026 report — plus a ten-thousand-unit delivery milestone for a named Chinese force-controlled-arm maker.
Watch: the next IFR cycle's share figure, and whether delivery milestones like ROKAE's keep pace at commercial scale.
