China General-Purpose Servo Market Size — Evolution of the Competitive Landscape
Japanese Brands
Japanese brands have been severely substituted by domestic ones, with Mitsubishi, Yaskawa, and Panasonic rapidly losing market share in traditional industries. Mitsubishi is advancing its localized R&D strategy in China, deploying software business alongside its Factory Automation (FA) business to enhance the solution competitiveness of FA in the domestic market. Panasonic is building localized production and R&D capabilities in China, promoting automation products adapted to Chinese conditions to increase its domestic market share.
European and American Brands
The market landscape for European and American brands remains relatively stable, primarily because these brands concentrate on high-power and mid-to-high-end product markets, where there are relatively few players and strong customer stickiness. In recent years, given the advancement of domestic technology, the domestic substitution of high-power products has accelerated. Among European and American brands, Siemens holds a relatively high share. Siemens' core strategy lies in localized cost reduction, planning to launch the more economical S200C series.
Domestic Brands
The market share of domestic brands has grown rapidly, currently reaching 60%. Among domestic brands, Inovance ranks first with a share of over 50%. Relying on high cost-performance ratio, rapid response, and localized support, domestic manufacturers are further substituting foreign brands in the mid-to-low-end market while accelerating their deployment in emerging tracks such as industrial robots, humanoid robots, NEV, and AI (Artificial Intelligence), continuously breaking through into high-end scenarios. In addition, domestic manufacturers are enhancing their overseas market influence through a dual strategy of "Chinese enterprises' industrial overseas expansion" and sales overseas. Players such as Inovance, Veichi, and INVT have achieved rapid growth in overseas performance.
China General-Purpose Servo Market Size — Competitive Landscape of Domestic Brands
Since 2021, domestic brands have rapidly substituted foreign ones, especially Japanese brands, and the market share of domestic brand servos accounts for approximately 60% in 2025.
Inovance (Inovance Technology)
Leading the market by a wide margin, it holds approximately 50% of the domestic market share and possesses an absolute market share in emerging industry markets, such as photovoltaic and lithium battery scenarios, with a market share exceeding 40%. It continues to deploy in mid-to-high-end scenarios: such as automotive, plastics, tires, automotive electronics, and medical machinery industries. Driven by the dual strategy of "riding the boat to go global" and overseas localization, its overseas influence steadily increases. Exploring AI hidden demands: AI business is gradually penetrating from the periphery of data centers into machine tools, 3C equipment, and even export-oriented traditional industries.
Delta (Delta Electronics)
Its servo product line has formed a complete gradient from W3 (high-end multi-axis) to A3 (high-end) to B3 (standard) to E3/E3C (basic), utilizing miniaturization and performance improvements to prevent customers from switching to other brands during model upgrades.
Leisai Intelligence
It has built a "four-multi" product architecture of "multi-level, multi-in-one, multi-bus, and multi-certification," including the AC servo L7 general-purpose series, L8 high-end series, and linear servo series. The overall performance reaches the level of similar foreign products, and its independently developed 26-bit ultra-high-precision optical encoder has been successfully mass-produced.
Xinje
Xinje servos have a wide range of application fields. Small-sized PLCs drive the rapid growth of servos, covering numerous industries such as machine tools, electronic manufacturing, lithium batteries, industrial robots, photovoltaics, and semiconductors.
China General-Purpose Servo Market Size — Competitive Landscape of Japanese Brands
Japanese brands entered the market early, with their market share in China exceeding 50% before 2020. After 2020, domestic substitution accelerated, and their market share declined rapidly, accounting for approximately 26% in 2025. Japanese brands maintain high technical barriers and market share in precision manufacturing industries such as machine tools, electronic manufacturing, and semiconductors. Although affected by the substitution from domestic manufacturers, their market share remains high.
Mitsubishi (Mitsubishi Electric)
It has localized R&D, sales, and manufacturing in China, and established an R&D center in Suzhou to provide rapid product development capabilities tailored to Chinese customer demands.
Panasonic
Currently, it is still dominated by overseas leading manufacturers, with ABB maintaining a leading position, followed by Wärtsilä and Siemens.
Omron
It has strategically abandoned the servo product market, reduced servo sales costs, and strengthened PLCs, driving servo performance growth through bundled sales with PLC products.
China General-Purpose Servo Market Size — Competitive Landscape of European and American Brands
There are relatively few European and American servo manufacturers, among which Siemens accounts for over 50% of the performance.
Siemens
Its localized products in China currently include the V90 and S200 series (S200B, S200C). Siemens servo motors were mainly sourced from overseas imports, but localized production of servo motors has now been realized to further reduce costs. Imported products mainly include the mid-to-high-end S120 and S210 products, most of which have now achieved localized assembly and production in China. The S210 products are relatively expensive and are mainly applied in high-end scenarios.
Schneider Electric
Servos account for a relatively low proportion of performance in the IAC department and are mainly applied in scenarios such as electronics and electrical engineering, NEV, material processing, semiconductors, and packaging machinery.
Beckhoff (Beckhoff Automation)
Its IPC (Industrial PC) products are relatively strong and are widely applied in industries such as wind power, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals.
ABB
The sales performance of its localized servo product E530 in China is average, and it will further promote the OEM strategy in 2026.
