In terms of product categories, there were 19 new unmanned forklifts launched, representing approximately 32% of the total, making them the most densely released category in the first half of the year. Composite mobile robots followed, accounting for about 22%, while heavy-load and case handling robots contributed around 8% and 3% respectively.

In general, the unmanned forklift sector continues to thrive with expanding product diversity. Narrow channel and lightweight variants are emerging to meet evolving warehousing demands. Concurrently, composite mobile robots are driving technological advancements, where robotic arms are transitioning from single-arm configurations to dual-arm designs. This evolution addresses high-performance requirements in precision manufacturing, complex inspection processes, and medical support applications that demand superior robotic capabilities.

For heavy-load products, manufacturers are focusing on core performance enhancements. Companies prioritize boosting load-bearing capacity by launching heavier-duty variants.

With growing market demand for flexibility and customization, case handling robots are experiencing new growth opportunities. Their applications are expanding from single sectors to multiple fields. Some enterprises are accelerating product upgrades and iterations, introducing new models tailored for industries including automotive, footwear and apparel, pharmaceuticals, and 3C manufacturing.

In the first half of 2025, new product applications predominantly focused on traditional industrial sectors like manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics, addressing growing market demands for automation and smart solutions in these fields. However, with technological advancements, some companies are now expanding into emerging application areas such as charging and equipment inspection. This trend demonstrates that as technology evolves and market needs diversify, automated products are increasingly being applied beyond conventional industrial uses to meet evolving demands.

While the number of new products in the first half of 2025 has decreased compared to the same period last year, the variety of innovative products continues to expand. It is foreseeable that future product development will maintain the current trend of diversified innovation. Beyond deepening expertise in traditional industrial sectors like manufacturing and warehousing, technological exploration in emerging fields will become new growth drivers. This shift will propel mobile robots from single-industry applications toward multi-scenario collaborative development.
