As labor shortages and hygiene demands reshape facility operations worldwide, intelligent cleaning robots are no longer a novelty—they’re a necessity. At China Clean Expo (CCE) 2026, taking place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) from?March 31–April 3, global professionals will have a front-row seat to the latest autonomous solutions driving efficiency, consistency, and innovation across commercial spaces.
The commercial cleaning robot market is accelerating rapidly. Projected to reach?USD 1.56 billion by 2031, it is growing at a?CAGR of 20.2%?(Market Analysis, 2025)—fueled by rising labor costs, persistent workforce shortages, heightened post-pandemic hygiene standards, and rapid advances in AI, computer vision, and sensor technology. This growth is being amplified by expanding applications beyond traditional settings. Once limited to warehouses and factories, intelligent cleaning robots are now widely deployed in hotels, hospitals, airports, shopping malls, office buildings, and even schools—environments where consistent cleanliness and operational efficiency are critical.
In China—the world’s largest manufacturing and innovation hub for service robotics—leading robotics companies are leveraging the country’s robust supply chain in batteries, motors, and AI chips to deliver high-performance, cost-competitive solutions adopted across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Supported by national “smart city” initiatives and green facility policies, China has become not only a key production base but also one of the fastest-growing adoption markets for smart cleaning technologies worldwide.
As intelligent cleaning moves from novelty to necessity, China Clean Expo (CCE) 2026 has launched a dedicated?Smart Cleaning Zone in Hall N2—a curated hub where global professionals can discover the latest in autonomous cleaning technology. The zone brings together leading innovators including?Pudu, Viggo, Rosiwit, Ecovacs, YIJIAHE, WIMSHA ROBOT, KEENON, Udeer, and KOKOBOTS, reflecting China’s dual role as a global manufacturing base and fast-growing market for smart facility solutions.
Visitors can witness live demonstrations of autonomous floor-scrubbing and sweeping robots, multi-functional units with integrated disinfection capabilities, and AI-driven navigation systems that enable precise, hands-free cleaning in complex environments such as airports, shopping malls, and office lobbies. Leading brands will showcase their latest models featuring extended battery life, real-time mapping, obstacle avoidance, and cloud-based fleet management—all operating in simulated real-world scenarios.
For facility leaders looking to future-proof their operations, CCE 2026 offers a unique window into the next era of cleaning automation. Pre-registration is now open—and free for all international trade visitors.
