Pudu Robotics (Headquarters: Shenzhen, China; Pudu Robotics Japan Inc. President: Tao Zhang; hereinafter PUDU) announced today that it has raised approximately $150 million in a new funding round. Following this funding round, the company's valuation has exceeded $1.5 billion. This multi-billion dollar valuation reflects the capital market's strong confidence in PUDU's technological barriers, commercial scalability, and global leadership. With this round, PUDU's cumulative funding now exceeds $300 million.
The proceeds from the funding will be strategically utilized to accelerate development. The company will integrate AI technology, expand its product portfolio, deepen its foray into global markets, augment manufacturing capacity, and further strengthen its supply chain capabilities. These initiatives aim to consolidate its leadership in the rapidly evolving commercial service robot sector and build a solid foundation for significant future milestones in the capital markets.
Pudu Robotics is emerging as one of the fastest-growing companies in the commercial service robot field. Through a multi-sector approach involving service delivery robots, commercial cleaning robots, industrial delivery robots, and embodied intelligent robots, it achieved a staggering 100% year-over-year revenue increase in 2025. In particular, the company's commercial cleaning robot products have grown to account for over 70% of total revenue, and its industrial delivery robots are rapidly gaining traction, with over 4,000 units shipped within just one year of market launch.
This commercial success is further backed by PUDU's extensive global footprint. PUDU's solutions are widely adopted by world-leading brands such as Carrefour, Walmart, and EDEKA. According to Frost & Sullivan's "Global Commercial Service Robot Market Research (2023)," Pudu Robotics ranks first globally with a 23% worldwide market share, maintaining an industry-leading position in international deployments. Headquartered in Shenzhen with dedicated R&D centers in Chengdu and Hong Kong, the company continues to push technological boundaries through the full-stack development of core components such as navigation algorithms, multi-robot scheduling, motion controllers, and integrated joint modules.
Tao Zhang, CEO of Pudu Robotics, stated, "This funding is a powerful testament to PUDU's industry leadership, product and technological prowess, global brand, and commercial infrastructure."
