ESTUN Retains the Top Spot in China's Robot Market Shipments!
Publish Date:Apr 30,2026

In the first quarter of 2026, the landscape of China's industrial robot market was refreshed once again—according to the latest data released by MIR DATABANK, ESTUN's robot shipments continued to rank first in the Chinese market (including all domestic and foreign brands), while also maintaining the first position in domestic industrial robot brand shipments for the eighth consecutive year, with single-quarter production and shipments of industrial and collaborative robots reaching a new level.
Steady Operations, Profitability Ushers in a Qualitative Change
In 2025, ESTUN achieved operating revenue of 4.888 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.93%; net profit increased by 105.55% year-on-year. Based on a high-quality growth strategy, the company has reached a new level.
ESTUN continues to focus on innovative fields, investing more than 10% of total revenue in R&D for many consecutive years, and has built a complete intelligent manufacturing solution centered on series products such as industrial robots, collaborative robots, general controllers, laser-specific control systems, functional safety controllers, welding robots, and welding power sources.
Technological Innovation, Rooted in High-End Tracks
Relying on forward-looking judgment of scenarios and technology trends, ESTUN has built the intelligent ecosystem iER.OS and launched the "Python language" of the industrial field—the new-generation robot language Juliet. It reconstructs the robot's underlying operating system from the bottom up, creating a robot control "smart brain."
With data, applications, and AI as its core, this system achieves a systemic leap from closed to open and from cloud-edge collaboration, connecting the links of perception, analysis, and decision-making. Based on the RoboBase open architecture, it builds an industrial "Android"-style ecosystem, supporting customers and partners in independently developing and encapsulating process packages and integrating AI models, jointly defining the next generation of intelligent robots with a continuously evolving collaborative platform.

In the field of collaborative robots, ESTUN has also delivered impressive results: in the first quarter of 2026, shipments increased by more than 40% year-on-year. From gluing, inspection, and press-fitting of automotive parts, to PCBA testing and palletizing and packaging in the electronics industry, and then to new energy battery manufacturing and medical laboratory scenarios, CODROID collaborative robots have achieved large-scale application in 107 scenarios and more than 370 factories, becoming one of the fastest-growing brands in the domestic collaborative robot camp.

Industrial robots and collaborative robots advance on two parallel lines, complementing and coordinating with each other, meeting the application needs of more scenarios and opening growth channels covering more segmented industries and lower-tier markets.
In high-end manufacturing fields such as automobiles and automotive parts, ESTUN has created complete solutions for the full process flow, deeply integrating robots and processes in fields such as stamping, welding, drilling and riveting, die casting, grinding, coating, visual guidance, and intelligent handling. ESTUN's high-precision six-axis robots have been applied in batch to the production lines of multiple leading automotive enterprises, setting up multiple industry benchmark projects.


AI + Robotics, Opening New Space for Flexible Intelligent Manufacturing

In the field of AI digital platforms, the ESTUN iER.Cloud platform continues to iterate and upgrade, deeply integrating professional technologies such as data collection, cloud computing, digital twins, low-code, and AI intelligent agents. It covers diverse application scenarios such as the Internet of Things, big data analysis, production process optimization, intelligent development, and intelligent operation and maintenance, continuously helping customers tap into the data value of intelligent equipment.
By further integrating the two major industrial software platforms, ESTUN iER.Sim and iER.Care, it builds a powerful data interconnection ecosystem, providing customers with full-process digital solutions from design and production to service.
For the multi-category, small-batch flexible manufacturing field, combining AI vision and machine learning capabilities, it creates complex application scenarios such as teaching-free operation, AI inspection + flying shot. In scenarios such as AI teaching-free intelligent welding, multi-machine collaborative flexible workstations, AI intelligent loading, and Bending cell (AI bending workstation), the complex debugging and programming process of robots is simplified, truly embedding "intelligence" into actual processes. This capability significantly lowers the threshold for automation transformation of small and medium-sized factories, and also enables customers to transform from users into promoters of scenario-based innovation, continuously expanding the boundaries of robot applications.
Global Layout Accelerates
On March 9, 2026, ESTUN successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first "A+H" listed enterprise in China's industrial robot industry. The dual internationalization layout of capital and market is opening up greater room for imagination.

Relying on the trinity of "internationalized technology R&D + localized high-quality manufacturing + global marketing," ESTUN will fully leverage the company's domestic and overseas synergy effects, providing a global service, R&D, and product delivery system to build global core competitiveness. Based on 75 global business outlets, the company continues to densify its service network, accelerating its advance into mainstream markets with global radiation effects such as Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia, continuously improving its international market share.
From being first in market shipments for two consecutive years, to a significant leap in profitability, from AI-empowered scenario-based implementation, to the firm advancement of globalization and high-end development, ESTUN is proving with its own rhythm: when technological depth meets strategic focus, market leadership is no longer accidental, but an inevitable result of an enterprise traversing cycles.
