Core Viewpoint - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has issued a risk warning regarding the humanoid robot industry, highlighting concerns about product homogeneity and compressed R&D space as the industry rapidly develops [1][2][7]. Industry Overview - The humanoid robot industry in China has over 150 companies, with more than half being startups or companies from other sectors, leading to a significant issue of product homogeneity [2][3]. - The industry is experiencing rapid growth, with a projected market size of 100 billion yuan by 2030, driven by innovation and demand [2]. Identified Risks - Risk One: Low-level Repetition The industry faces a major concern of low-level repetitive products crowding the market, which compresses the R&D space and stifles innovation. The current focus on exhibition and demonstration rather than industrial application limits the true potential of humanoid robots [3][4]. - Risk Two: Capital Dispersal and Overheated Expectations The influx of capital into the humanoid robot sector has led to dispersed financing and inflated expectations. The average financing for the 150 companies is only around 100 million yuan, with significant disparities compared to leading global firms [4][5]. - Risk Three: Delayed Commercialization and Industry Chain Coordination The transition from demonstration to practical application is lagging, with a lack of effective collaboration across the industry chain. This includes issues with component procurement, data sharing, and standardization, which hinder the overall efficiency and integration of the industry [5][6]. Government Response - The NDRC is conducting in-depth research to strengthen policy guidance, accelerate technological breakthroughs, and promote the application of results to ensure the healthy and standardized development of the humanoid robot industry [6][7].
