The total annual revenue of Shenyang's robotics industry reached 7 billion yuan ($1.05 billion) in 2016, accounting for more than 20 percent of domestic market share and the city's robotics industry thus ranked first in the domestic robotics industry.

In comparison, the integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing industry ranks in the top three in China.

Production and sales, and the market share of middle-to-high-grade Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools are also at the forefront of the same domestic industry.
