The "2026 China Embossed Intelligence Industry Development Report" was released.
According to Mars Finance, the 2026 Shanghai International Embossed Intelligence Industry Expo (CIEI 2026), China's first professional industry exhibition focusing entirely on embodied intelligence, is currently being held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). The "2026 China Embossed Intelligence Industry Development Report" was released during the expo. The report shows that the current global embodied intelligence industry landscape presents a competitive situation of "dual-core drive by China and the US, and catch-up by Europe, Japan, and South Korea." The US maintains its lead at the "brain" level of embodied intelligence due to its absolute advantages in AI basic research, large-scale model training, and venture capital. China demonstrates unique competitive advantages in the global embodied intelligence industry. On the one hand, China possesses the world's most complete robot hardware supply chain, covering all aspects of the industry chain, including motors, reducers, lead screws, sensors, and controllers, with costs only 40-60% of those in Europe and the US. On the other hand, China's rich manufacturing and service industry application scenarios provide massive training data and implementation opportunities for embodied intelligence. Simultaneously, national policies continue to strengthen, forming a systematic industry support system from the central to local levels. (Shangguan News)
