About the Robot Pricing Index
The GrabaRobot Robot Pricing Index tracks average price ranges for 24 categories of robots available from Chinese manufacturers. The ranges were compiled from manufacturer and dealer statements. Legacy records do not retain a source URL and read date for every individual figure, so the index is not an independently verified quote dataset and should be used only for early budgeting.
Chinese manufacturers now produce robots that compete directly with established Japanese (Fanuc, Yaskawa, Kawasaki) and European (ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots) brands at 40-60% lower cost. This index helps procurement teams benchmark costs and build business cases for automation investments.
For detailed pricing breakdowns by tier, check individual category price guides. To estimate the financial return on a specific robot, use our ROI Calculator.
