ARCE 2025 Asian Robot Conference and Exhibition to Be Held in Guangzhou, December 19–21

The ARCE 2025 Asian Robot Conference and Exhibition will take place from December 19 to December 21, 2025, at the Guangzhou International Procurement Center (Pazhou Avenue East No. 6–8, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China). The event is organized by the ARCE Organizing Committee and the Guangdong Robot Association.

Background and Highlights

China has been the world’s largest industrial robot market for 11 consecutive years. In 2023, it exported 118,300 industrial robots, with domestic production exceeding 50% for the first time and core component localization accelerating.

Asia accounts for 73% of global industrial robot growth, led by China, Japan, and South Korea. In the field of commercial service robots, Chinese companies hold all top five positions globally. Meanwhile, humanoid robots are emerging as a key growth driver, with the market projected to reach $154 billion USD by 2035. China leads in global patent share (over two-thirds), policy support, and practical deployment in sectors like healthcare and logistics.

With the theme “Intelligent Manufacturing for a Shared Future”, ARCE 2025 will focus on AI and robotics integration and global collaboration, covering the entire industrial robotics value chain. The exhibition aims to serve as a premier platform showcasing the most advanced robotics technologies across Asia.

Exhibition Focus

Key areas featured at ARCE 2025 include:

Humanoid Robots: Full-body systems, joint modules, control, perception, mobility, and power systems.
Embodied Intelligence: 3D perception, tactile sensing, vision-language navigation, embodied interaction and control, foundation models, and data training.
Industrial Robots: Welding, spraying, stacking, assembly, grinding, laser processing, multi-joint, and collaborative robots.
Service Robots: Home robots, commercial robots, medical robots, entertainment robots, bionic robots, and environmental robots.
Special Robots: AGVs, firefighting robots, inspection drones, underwater robots, aerial and construction robots.
Core Components: Servo systems, controllers, reducers, perception modules, batteries, chips, sensors, embedded systems, robotic arms, end-effectors, and teaching devices.
Frontier Technologies: Innovations in bionic perception, e-skin, soft robotics, natural HRI (human-robot interaction), robot swarms, and bio-mechatronics.

Parallel Events and Audience

ARCE 2025 will host several robotics industry summits, technology forums, and competitive challenges alongside the main exhibition. The event is expected to attract over 100,000 professional attendees from industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, biomedical, construction, energy, agriculture, logistics, automotive parts, and financial services.

ARCE 2025 aims to connect upstream and downstream players across the global robotics ecosystem and foster innovation, commercialization, and international cooperation.
