Chinese-made robots exported to 141 countries; after-sales service becomes new business opportunity
36Kr reported on Sept. 2, 2026, that Chinese-made robots are being exported to 141 countries worldwide and that after-sales service is becoming a new business opportunity.
What happened
According to 36Kr, Chinese-made robots are being exported to 141 countries worldwide. The report said product advantages are only an entry ticket and that overseas expansion is a battle over ecosystems, adding that after-sales service is becoming a new business opportunity.
Why it matters
For manufacturers selling Chinese-made robots overseas, a challenge is how to support maintenance and repairs in each market after shipping the machines. 36Kr reported that competition in overseas expansion involves not only product performance but also local service infrastructure.
