CCTV reported on September 16 that in August China's industrial economy showed steady, quality-oriented growth, with industrial value-added up 5.2% year on year, 0.7 percentage points faster than the prior month, and over 60% of industries and regions accelerating.
Electronics, electrical machinery, power and autos strongly lifted industrial growth, with high-tech manufacturing such as integrated-circuit manufacturing and smart in-vehicle device manufacturing continuing to lead. Embodied intelligence and human–robot collaboration are helping the robotics industry develop rapidly.
Robot reducers and industrial-robot output grew 11.4% and 34.6% respectively, realizing a shift from "running on the field" to "working in the factory" and "being used at home." Data show China's share of global humanoid-robot shipments has risen to 97%.
Specialized and sophisticated "little giant" firms continue to break through key technologies, shoring up industrial-chain resilience. The report underscores how new technologies are converting from demonstrations into real productivity across industry and households.
