Customs data from the first five months of 2026 reveals that China exported a total of 10.377 million robots—spanning various categories—valued at 19.99 billion RMB, reaching over 150 countries and regions worldwide. Cleaning robots were a standout performer within this sector, generating 14 billion RMB in exports and accounting for 70% of the total robot export value, thereby serving as the vanguard for Chinese smart equipment going global. Exports of industrial robots and smart bionic robots also saw steady growth during the same period, signaling a comprehensive global expansion for intelligent "Made-in-China" manufacturing.
While overseas consumer demand for smart home appliances continues to surge—driving a steady rise in orders for cleaning robot brands—four major long-standing challenges regarding the export of battery-powered products have hindered brands from scaling up. First, cleaning robots utilize lithium batteries and are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods; standard warehouses lack the specialized storage qualifications required, and declaration errors can easily lead to customs seizures and hefty fines. Second, the units are equipped with numerous precision sensors, making them vulnerable to impact damage during long-haul multimodal (sea and rail) transport. Third, many European and American merchants rely on Amazon FBA; long queues for overseas warehouse appointments mean that stockouts directly impact store traffic and search rankings. Finally, the lack of professional repair facilities overseas often necessitates scrapping defective returned units, continuously eroding corporate profits.
To address these industry-wide challenges, a mature, professional, and comprehensive lithium-battery supply chain service system has emerged in China. By resolving various bottlenecks in the export process, this system provides reliable support for numerous Chinese brands seeking stable global expansion.
An integrated, closed-loop cross-border supply chain is now fully established, covering everything from domestic factory pickup, cross-border trunk transport, and deferred customs clearance in the destination country to overseas warehousing, e-commerce last-mile delivery, and post-sales equipment repair. With demand in the European cleaning robot market growing by over 80% and the global market share of Chinese cleaning equipment steadily rising, the impressive 14 billion RMB export figure is underpinned by mature, compliant, and cost-effective cross-border support services—giving brands the confidence to achieve sustained sales surges and deepen their presence in overseas markets.
