On September 24th, as the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays draw near, the deployment of robots in cultural tourism exhibitions, commercial events, and various other settings has witnessed a notable uptick. At a robot 6S store located in Longgang District, Shenzhen, staff members are meticulously performing final checks on humanoid robots and quadruped robot dogs that are slated for delivery. The store manager reported that since September, there has been a significant surge in leasing orders. Data reveals that in the first half of this year, China shipped over 40,000 humanoid robots, representing a staggering 97% of the global total. Industry experts forecast that by 2026, the domestic robot leasing market is expected to surpass 10 billion yuan, marking a growth of over 900% from the figures recorded in 2025.
