Global Torque Sensor for Robot Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Torque Sensor for Robot market size is predicted to grow from US$ 6,873 million in 2025 to US$ 12,610 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2026 to 2032.

A Torque Sensor for Robot is a device that measures the magnitude of torque (rotational force) applied by a robot or robotic system. It is used to determine the magnitude of the force exerted when a robot's motors or actuators rotate. Torque sensors are typically placed between the robot's motors and the joints or limbs they control. It measures the torsional force applied to the joint and provides feedback to the robot's control system. From the perspective of force sensor sensing dimensions, robot joints require joint torque sensors, while end effectors (hands, feet) require six-dimensional torque sensors. In 2024, global production of Torque Sensors for Robots reached 22.10 million units. The average price of a Torque Sensor for Robot was $291.91 per unit, the average price of a torque sensor was $62.14 per unit, and the average price of a six-dimensional torque sensor was $6181.6 per unit. Companies producing 100,000 units annually had a gross margin of approximately 26.50%.

Force sensors, acting as the "nerve endings" of humanoid robots' perception and interaction, occupy a central position in the development of robotics technology. As a key medium for robots to accurately perceive external forces, force sensors can capture and quantify complex mechanical information such as pressure, tension, and torque generated when in contact with objects in real time, transforming the robot's "touch" from an abstract concept into a stream of analyzable data. With the accelerated development of the humanoid robot industry, China's advantages in core component fields continue to stand out. Six-dimensional force sensors and joint torque sensors have deeply penetrated the humanoid robot industry chain. Benefiting from the explosive growth of the humanoid robot industry in 2024, downstream core customers include leading humanoid robot companies such as Calcium Robotics, Xiaomi, ZQGame, Qianxun, UBTECH Robotics, Galaxy General, and Unitree Robotics, while also penetrating high-value-added fields such as new energy vehicles, medical care, and aviation.
