Humanoid Robot Rental Prices in China Drop Over 70% Amid Market Expansion

Daily rental prices for humanoid robots in China have decreased by over 70% within a year, signaling the end of an early market bubble. According to Sina Finance, some humanoid robots are now available for less than 1,000 yuan per day, with robot dogs renting for as low as 100 yuan. This price drop is attributed to increased supply and competition among rental companies.
The surge in supply is primarily due to major manufacturers like Unitree ramping up production capabilities, with Logic Robotics reporting 15,000 units produced by June and Unitree announcing around 18,000 units by August. The number of companies in the robot rental sector has also risen by 55.7% in the past year, leading to more transparent pricing. This shift indicates a transition from a focus on ownership to a focus on service reliability and standardization.
Despite the plummeting rental rates, the overall market is projected to grow significantly. iiMedia Research forecasts that China's robot rental market will exceed 10 billion yuan by the end of the year. Experts believe that factors like liability insurance and standardized services will play a crucial role in determining market leaders, rather than just low pricing strategies.
