India, Jan. 30 -- TrendForce's latest research on solid-state batteries suggests that the commercialization of humanoid robots around 2026 is expected to significantly accelerate demand for next-generation batteries, elevating energy storage-particularly solid-state batteries-to a critical enabling role.

Although most current humanoid robots use liquid Li-ion batteries, increasing demands for longer operational periods and high-load capability are likely to drive wider adoption of solid-state lithium batteries, which provide notably higher energy density and safety. By 2035, demand for these batteries in humanoid robots may surpass 74 GWh, a more than 1,000-fold increase from 2026.

TrendForce forecasts indicate that global shipments of ...
