The humanoid robot industry is experiencing a titanium alloy application boom

As the global humanoid robot industry enters a new stage of large-scale mass production, the degree of industrial application of titanium alloy materials has become an important indicator to measure technological competitiveness. The latest data shows that in the first quarter of 2025, the domestic orders for titanium alloys used in robots have seen explosive growth, with a year-on-year increase of 217%. The monthly production capacity has exceeded 80 tons, which is three times higher than that in the same period of 2023. This growth trend indicates that the "space metal" that was once mainly used in the aerospace field is now opening up new application frontiers in the humanoid robot sector.

Titanium alloys are favored by the humanoid robot industry due to their excellent material properties. The density of this material is only 60% of that of steel, and it has excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, fully meeting the requirements of robots for lightweight and durability.

Market research institutions predict that the global market size of titanium alloys for humanoid robots will grow rapidly from 1.28 billion yuan in 2024 to 18.7 billion yuan in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate remaining at a high level of 49.3% during this period. The main driving force behind this growth comes from a significant increase in the usage of titanium alloys per unit.

With the continuous advancement of manufacturing techniques and the gradual decline in costs, the large-scale application of titanium alloys in humanoid robots is becoming increasingly evident. This trend will not only drive the robot industry towards lighter weight and higher performance, but also have a profound impact on the entire robot industry chain structure.
