Reducers are the “joints” of industrial equipment, directly affecting mechanical precision and efficiency. China’s market size reached CNY 144.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to CNY 151 billion in 2025. Domestic companies are advancing in RV and harmonic reducers, enabling localization in industrial robots, wind power, and semiconductor equipment, supporting automation in smart warehouses.
Sensors
Sensors provide the perception, monitoring, and decision-making foundation for warehouse systems. In 2024, the market reached approximately CNY 363 billion and is expected to reach CNY 380.2 billion in 2025. Some companies possess full-chain capabilities from core chips to system-level products, offering mature solutions in smart logistics, industrial automation, and smart city applications.
AGV / AMR Mobile Robots
Industrial mobile robots are evolving from simple material transport to multi-robot collaboration and complex task execution. In 2024, China’s market size reached CNY 22.1 billion, projected to grow to CNY 24.3 billion in 2025. Technological trends include high-precision positioning, dynamic obstacle avoidance, cross-scenario adaptability, and modular design. The RaaS (Robot as a Service) model accelerates commercialization, expanding applications from material handling to wafer transport and power inspection.
Robotic Arms
Robotic arms are widely used in picking, palletizing, and material handling. In 2024, the market reached approximately CNY 19.34 billion, projected to exceed CNY 20 billion in 2025. Domestic companies have made rapid progress in R&D, manufacturing, and deployment, while international brands provide complementary competition, driving broader adoption in warehouse automation.
3. Midstream Analysis: Smart Warehouse Systems
Global Market Trends
Driven by e-commerce expansion, trade growth, and sustainability demands, global warehouse automation solutions continue to grow. In 2024, the market reached CNY 489.4 billion, expected to reach CNY 558.8 billion in 2025. Automation equipment is deeply integrated with digital platforms for inventory visualization, task scheduling, and energy efficiency optimization.
China Market Size
China’s intelligent warehouse market has shifted from single-point automation to full-chain intelligence. In 2024, the market size reached CNY 176.05 billion, projected to reach CNY 195.41 billion in 2025. Smart warehouses are becoming the core infrastructure supporting intelligent manufacturing and modern supply chains.
