On April 2nd, Fair of AI and Robotics, plus (FAIR plus 2026) will build a world-class platform with 15,000 square meters of display area, over 500 participating companies, and more than 50 professional events. Behind the exhibition lies the solid foundation of Shenzhen's robotics industry: in 2025, the industrial cluster recorded operating revenue of 37.903 billion yuan, up 34.3% year on year, with added value reaching 7.366 billion yuan, up 25% YoY. The output of service robots totaled 7.9665 million units, accounting for 42.9% of the national total, while leading enterprises have taken the lead across global niche segments.

The core competitiveness of Shenzhen's robotics industry stems from a full industrial chain built on decades of accumulation in electronic information manufacturing. It covers all links: upstream core components, midstream complete machine   manufacturing, and downstream application scenarios, forming a unique ecosystem of industrial synergy. Such a whole-chain layout delivers extreme efficiency. In this industrial valley, about half of the robot components can be sourced   within a 10-kilometer radius, and 80% can be found within 40 kilometers. This makes Shenzhen one of the world's most complete and efficient cities for the robotics industry supply.

High-intensity R&D investment by local enterprises has become the core engine driving technological breakthroughs. For example, UBTECH Robotics reported total revenue of 2.001 billion yuan in 2025, with R&D spending of 507 million   yuan, accounting for 25.36% of its revenue. Investment in full-size embodied AI humanoid robot development alone exceeded 270 million yuan, while related business revenue reached 820 million yuan, surging 2,203.7% YoY.

Shenzhen has turned the entire city into a testing ground for new technologies, taking the lead in open application scenarios across government services, transportation, healthcare, industry, and commerce. In Futian, humanoid robots help with subway security checks. In Nanshan, robots patrol streets alongside police officers. In factories, UBTECH's humanoid robots have been deployed in high-end settings such as aviation manufacturing and auto production. DOBOT collaborative robots serve more than 80 Fortune Global 500 companies, covering over 200 sub-scenarios across 15 industries.

观察｜深圳机器人凭什么领跑全球？全链硬核实力锚定世界赛道

4月2日，FAIR plus2026机器人全产业链接会将以15000平展览面积、500余家参展企业、50余场专业活动搭建世界级平台。而这场展会的背后，是深圳机器人产业的硬核底气：2025年产业集群营业收入379.03亿元、同比增34.3%，增加值73.66亿元、同比增25%，服务机器人产量796.65万套、占全国42.9%，龙头企业在全球细分赛道全面领跑。

深圳机器人产业的核心竞争力，始于数十年电子信息制造业积淀下的全链条产业体系，覆盖“上游核心零部件—中游整机制造—下游场景应用”全环节，形成独有的产业协同优势。这种全链条布局造就了极致的产业效率：在这片谷地中，约一半机器人零部件可在方圆10公里内配齐，80%的部件在40公里内找到供应，让深圳成为全球机器人产业配套最完善、转化效率最高的城市之一。

本土企业的高强度研发投入，成为技术突破的核心引擎。例如，优必选2025年总营收20.01亿元，研发支出5.07亿元占营收25.36%，仅全尺寸具身智能人形机器人研发投入就超2.7亿元，相关业务收入8.2亿元、同比激增2203.7%。

深圳坚持将整座城市作为新技术的试验场，率先在政务、交通、医疗、工业、商业等领域开放应用场景。在福田，人形机器人参与地铁安检；在南山，机器人跟随民警街头巡逻；在工厂，优必选人形机器人切入航空制造、汽车生产等高端场景，越疆协作机器人服务80余家世界500强企业，覆盖15大行业200多个细分场景。
