The demand for solid-state batteries driven by humanoid robots is expected to hit 74 GWh by 2035, which is over 1,000 times higher than in 2026 Most humanoid robots today have a runtime of 2 to 4 hours; increasing their operating time depends on hot-swappable batteries or higher-energy-density batteries (e.g., solid-state batteries)
According to the latest electric vehicle industry research from TrendForce, range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs) are increasingly emerging as a pivotal transitional solution for automakers shifting toward full electrification. The European Union’s recent announcement regarding adjustments to its 2035 ban on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles offers significant regulatory flexibility and expands the development landscape for REEVs. TrendForce projects that, driven by this policy flexibility alongside technological maturity and rising market acceptance, global annual sales of REEVs will reach 3 million units by 2030—a twofold increase from 2025 levels.
TrendForce’s latest investigations indicate that total global traction inverter installations for EVs1 reached 8.35 million units in 3Q25, representing a 22% increase YoY, driven by ongoing growth in the NEV2 market. BEVs and PHEVs were the main contributors to this expansion, with installation increases of 36% and 13.6%, respectively.
TrendForce’s latest investigations indicate that the rapid acceleration of vehicle electrification and intelligence is expected to propel the global automotive semiconductor market from approximately US$67.7 billion in 2024 to nearly $96.9 billion by 2029, representing a CAGR of 7.4% over the 2024–2029 period.
Major economies globally are advancing humanoid robot development. Japan is focusing on improving essential components like actuators, sensors, and control systems to increase the entry barrier. In contrast, the U.S. and China are rapidly rolling out end-to-end humanoid products. Since these regions focus on different application scenarios, their humanoid robot industries are likely to reach key turning points in 2026.
