Guangdong province, the southern manufacturing powerhouse that makes more than 40% of China’s industrial robots, increased its output faster than the rest of the country in the first nine months of the year, extending its lead as China’s main robot-making center.  
  
Output of industrial robots in the province rose 34.2% from a year earlier from January through September, according to the [Oct. 23 release](https://stats.gd.gov.cn/tjkx185/content/post%5F4969790.html?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io) from Guangdong’s provincial statistics bureau (广东省统计局), which also gave the province’s share of national output. 

Nationwide, output rose 29.1% over the same period, to 794,781 robots, the [National Bureau of Statistics](https://www.stats.gov.cn/english/?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io) (国家统计局) said in the September figures [we covered earlier](https://asia-tech-news.ghost.io/parsing-chinas-atypical-robot-output-data-for-september/). Guangdong’s year-to-date growth has been above the national rate in every monthly release this year.  
  
The gains come on top of a strong 2025, when Guangdong’s robot output rose 31.2%, the bureau said in its [review of the year](http://stats.gd.gov.cn/attachment/0/611/611053/4883640.pdf?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io).  
  
Both bureaus count only industrial firms with annual revenue of at least 20 million yuan (about US$3 million). The provincial bureau names no makers or cities behind the gains. Shenzhen, the province’s tech-manufacturing hub, reported faster growth: 44.8% for January through August, against 35.8% for the province over the same period.
