In July 2026, the US FCC issued Notice DA 26-786, adding "foreign-produced advanced robot devices" to the list of regulated devices, significantly raising the entry barriers for American markets for humanoid robots, quadruped robots, and autonomous mobile robots (AMR). Meanwhile, European manufacturing upgrades, capacity transfers in Southeast Asia, and the construction of smart cities in the Middle East are opening up diverse market opportunities for Chinese robot companies. The Chinese robot industry is entering a critical period for global expansion; the domestic robot supply chain is continuously maturing, with domestic complete machines, core components, and system integration capabilities moving from following to leading, providing a solid industrial foundation for large-scale international expansion. Under the geopolitical changes, domestic robot companies urgently need global market analysis, compliance guidance, and export strategy support.
In this context,Frost & Sullivan, also known as 'Frost & Sullivan', and LeadLeo Research Institute officially joined the Shenzhen Robotics Association.Establishing a deep strategic partnership. The three parties will use the white paper as the core IP entry to jointly build.The Greater Bay Area Robotics Industry Globalization Service PlatformFrost & Sullivan established a chain of "Greater Bay Area industrial depth × global research perspective × international communication network".
Through the complementary strengths of all parties, a global service capability is established.
Specifically, the Shenzhen Robotics Association has deeply engaged in the front line of the robotics industry in the Greater Bay Area, with over 730 member companies and an industry value of more than 150 billion yuan. It has long provided technical support and industrial connection services for governments, enterprises, and third-party organizations, serving as a "industrial link" connecting enterprises and the market. Frost & Sullivan, leveraging its 65 years of global industry research experience and nearly 50 overseas offices, possesses the capabilities of bilingual report preparation, overseas consulting delivery, and global media communication. It acts as an "international bridge" connecting China's industries with the global market. LeadLeo Research Institute, with over 6,000 industry track studies, 1 million+ original data elements, and a user network covering more than 70% of investment and financing institutions, provides efficient data-driven research production and content distribution capabilities, serving as a "content engine" to support practical research outcomes.
Based on the industry depth of the association, we determine the direction—Relying on member units and industry resources, we accurately identify the real needs of enterprises for international expansion, ensuring that research topics and service content are close to the front line of the industry;
With Frost & Sullivan's global perspective, we set standards—Introducing international research methods, compliance frameworks, and evaluation systems to enhance the global credibility and capital market recognition of our results;
With LeadLeo's digital capabilities, we improve efficiency—Using a data platform and content production capabilities, we achieve rapid output of research results, multilingual adaptation, and precise delivery.
Through this collaborative mechanism, the three parties will transform scattered institutional capabilities into a one-stop global servicefor enterprises—covering key aspects such as market analysis, compliance guidance, capability assessment, benchmark communication, and overseas resource connection, effectively supporting Greater Bay Area robot enterprises to move from "going global" to "staying stable and advancing far."
First White Paper: 'China Robot Industry Globalization and International Expansion White Paper — Greater Bay Area Sample'
The first major research project is'China Robot Industry Globalization and International Expansion White Paper — Greater Bay Area Sample'.The report is a specialized international research achievement, with core contents including:
-
Geopolitical risk analysis: A deep interpretation of the impact of FCC DA 26-786 regulations, analyzing changes in overseas market access policies and compliance requirements, as well as corporate compliance response paths;
-
Diversified market opportunities: A systematic analysis of development opportunities and entry barriers in key overseas markets such as Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Japan, and South Korea;
-
Global competitor benchmarking: Conducting comparative analyses of technology routes, product strength, supply chain, and global layout of leading global robot companies;
-
CGI Five-Dimensional Assessment Model: Creatively constructing the "CGI (Global Capability Index) Robot Enterprise Globalization Ability Assessment Model," systematically evaluating the maturity of Greater Bay Area robot enterprises from five dimensions: technology and product competitiveness, supply chain and delivery capabilities, compliance and certification capabilities, channels and customer expansion, and international organization and operation capabilities;
-
Benchmark cases and roadmap: Completing the maturity portrait of Greater Bay Area enterprises and analyzing benchmark cases, delivering an overseas expansion action roadmap by market and stage;
The report will be released globally in Chinese and English. The Chinese version will be available for domestic government agencies, industrial enterprises, and investment institutions, while the English version will be for overseas customers, multinational companies, and international media. During the release, series of industrial activities such as the main conference, enterprise closed seminars, and overseas market special presentations will be held in collaboration with domestic and international industry platforms, conveying the development strength and industrial value of the Greater Bay Area robot industry to both home and abroad.
Implementation Roadmap
Three-year iterative plan to continuously develop industry research IP
According to the three-year iterative plan, the three parties will continue to deepen cooperation:
-
2026: Focus on "global changes and international expansion paths," completing the release of the first white paper;
-
2027: Cooperation will focus on the reconfiguration of the global robot supply chain and deepening of scenario implementation, conducting in-depth research on the evolution of the global supply chain pattern, regional layout strategies, and typical industrial implementation cases;
-
2028: The research theme will shift to the industrialization of embodied intelligence, focusing on technical commercialization paths, global regulatory policies, supply chain security, and other directions (proposed initially).
The three parties will continuously iterate the industry research IP, helping to enhance China's and the Greater Bay Area's global voice and brand influence in the robot industry.
Deep enterprise interviews and benchmark case collection have officially begun
The first white paper has officially launched enterprise deep interviews and benchmark case collection efforts.The collection is open to all enterprises in the entire Greater Bay Area robot industry chain, covering key sectors such as core components, humanoid robots, industrial robots, medical robots, AMR mobile robots, and system integration.
Selected enterprises will receive:
-
Inclusion in the industry map, participation in the CGI international expansion capability five-dimensional assessment;
-
High-quality enterprises can be used as benchmark cases in the white paper, gaining exposure opportunities at home and abroad;
-
6-8 typical enterprises will receive special in-depth reports;
-
Content from enterprise executives' interviews will be included in the report, showcasing industry insights;
-
They will have the opportunity to participate preferentially in the main conference, closed seminars, overseas docking meetings, FAIR plus (April 21-23, 2027), Frost & Sullivan GIL new investment conference (every August), and other series of industrial activities.
