Driven by the wave of intelligent upgrading in manufacturing, the industrial collaborative robot sector has reached a critical turning point. In 2025, the global industrial collaborative robot market not only maintained rapid growth but also completed a transition from foreign capital dominance to domestic capital leadership. The technological innovation and market layout of Chinese enterprises have become the core force defining the global track. Among them, Huasheng Control, with its forward-looking technology route selection and scenario implementation capabilities, has successfully topped the global industrial collaborative robot shipment rankings, becoming a core benchmark enterprise in this industrial transformation.
01. Industrial-Grade Collaboration Stands Out: 220V High Voltage Breaks Through Performance Bottlenecks
According to research by MIR Consulting, industrial collaborative robots are a new branch developed from the industrial robot field. Their core feature is the ability to work collaboratively with humans in a shared workspace while possessing high cycle rates and payload capacities. In terms of technology routes, they generally adopt high-voltage drive solutions above 200V, which is different from the integrated joint lightweight route of traditional collaborative robots.

Currently, the global collaborative robot market has formed a pattern of two core technology routes. One is the "integrated joint + collaborative form" route represented by Universal Robots (UR) and JAKA, which focuses on lightweight, low cost, and easy deployment. It uses current loop force control as its core, features a simple configuration, and adapts to the scenario needs of quick line changeover and flexible manufacturing. The other is the industrial-grade collaborative route of "industrial configuration + collaborative form" represented by Huasheng Control. This route retains the configuration advantages of traditional industrial robots while integrating the safety and ease-of-use features of collaborative robots, achieving a triple balance of speed, precision, and safety, and becoming the mainstream technology direction for industrial collaborative robots.
Analysts point out that given the steadily improving multiple demands for safety, efficiency, and ease of use in industrial production, the adaptability and advantages of the industrial-grade collaborative route will be further highlighted, becoming one of the core directions for future industry technology iteration.
02. Market Size Annual Growth Rate Steadily Maintains at 30%: Growth Space Continuously Expands
Looking at the market size progression, the global industrial collaborative robot market maintained continuous high growth from 2022 to 2025, with the growth rate breaking through 30% in 2025, demonstrating strong market vitality.

The continuous high growth of the industrial collaborative robot market primarily stems from the macro trend of intelligent and flexible upgrading in manufacturing.
Against the backdrop of Industry 4.0, various industries have steadily improving requirements for production efficiency and safety. Meanwhile, the automation transformation needs of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises are gradually being released. Industrial collaborative robots combine the production performance of industrial robots with the flexible deployment advantages of collaborative robots. Their adaptability covers the full-dimensional needs from large manufacturing enterprises to small and medium-sized ones. The continuous expansion of downstream application scenarios also provides sufficient momentum for market growth.
03. Domestic Capital Overtakes Foreign Capital for the First Time in 2025: Huasheng Control Tops the Global Ranking
The most core change in the global industrial collaborative robot market in 2025 is that domestic brands achieved a market share overtaking for the first time, thoroughly rewriting the competitive landscape dominated by foreign capital.
In 2022, the global shipment share of domestic brands was only 4%, with foreign capital occupying an absolute advantage of 96%. In 2023, the domestic share increased to 25.5%, and further climbed to 40.3% in 2024. By 2025, this figure broke through 51.4%, and domestic brands officially became the market leaders. It is expected that the share will continue to increase to 60.92% in 2026, completing a fundamental shift in the industry landscape.

Looking at the global manufacturer shipment rankings in 2025, the market concentration shows a highly concentrated characteristic. Huasheng Control ranks first globally with a 33% market share, followed closely by FANUC, with the two enterprises jointly accounting for over 65% of the global market share. As a core player in the global industrial collaborative robot track, the development history of Huasheng Control has become an important benchmark in the industry. Huasheng Control entered the industrial collaborative robot track as early as 2019, firmly choosing the 220V high-voltage technology route. It is the world's first enterprise to define the "industrial collaborative robot" product and technology route and to achieve batch delivery. Relying on its deep layout in segmented application scenarios, it has achieved continuous and rapid growth in shipments, becoming a core representative of domestic brands.
04. Food and Beverage, Automotive, and Metal Products Become Core Tracks: Scenarios Continuously Expand
From the perspective of downstream industry applications, the application of global industrial collaborative robots in 2025 is mainly concentrated in the three major industries of food and beverage, automotive, and metal products. These three fields have become the core driving force for market growth.
