TrendForce’s latest in-depth report on humanoid robots reveals that the global industry is set to enter a critical phase of commercialization in the second half of 2026. In China, vendors are rapidly clarifying commercial use cases and scaling up production, which is expected to drive annual output growth up to 94% in 2026.
TrendForce’s latest research on EV traction inverters reveals that strong growth in BEV sales in 4Q25 drove global traction inverter installations to around 9.65 million units, marking the highest level in nearly two years. The result reflects the continued shift toward vehicle electrification and the increasing adoption of electric drive systems per vehicle.
TrendForce’s latest findings have revealed that global sales of NEVs, including BEVs, PHEVs, and FCVs, reached 20.53 million units in 2025, up 26% YoY.
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.
