/PRZWT/ Recently, the international authoritative data agency IDC and AVC (Aviation Consumer Electronics Association) have successively released the latest data: Kowa has not only claimed the top position in global sales of window cleaning robots, but also achieved the top sales record in the Chinese market for five consecutive years. These two highly influential lists, from the perspectives of a global perspective and in-depth local market penetration, cross-verified Kowa's absolute leading position in the window cleaning robot niche market. Its market share and brand influence have formed an insurmountable industry barrier.
Global Peak and Local Crown: The Industry Leading Effect Behind the Data
As the service robot industry accelerates towards maturity, the continuous growth of niche markets has become an important indicator for measuring a brand's global influence. According to the "Global Home Cleaning Robot Market Tracker Report, 2025Q3" released by IDC, in the global market, KUKA demonstrated a strong head aggregation effect and growth resilience. IDC data shows that in the first three quarters of 2025, KUKA remained at the top position in global shipments and maintained a year-on-year growth rate of up to 108.2%, far exceeding the industry average and continuously leading global market growth.
Meanwhile, the monitoring data from AVC further corroborates the strong foundation of Kovo in China's main market - based on the total channel sales and sales volume from 2021 to November 2025, Kovo has consecutively ranked first in the Chinese market for window cleaning robots for five years.
In response to this significant market trend, Zhao Siquan, a senior analyst at IDC China, said: "The global market for household window-cleaning robots has entered a period of rapid growth. The increase in labor costs for cleaning and the popularity of high-rise residential buildings have led to an increase in the demand for household window-cleaning robots. By 2025, the market will show a trend of concentrated leadership, and window-cleaning robots will continue to experience rapid penetration in the future."
Kowa has simultaneously obtained "double certifications" in both the global and Chinese markets. This not only indicates that it has taken the lead in transitioning from a pioneer in a single product category to a global leader, but also shows that through long-term technological investment, it has successfully transformed its technological lead into a voice in the global market.
CES Unveils Major Innovations: Technological Advancements Propel Product Categories Towards Maturity
The continuous leading position in the market is attributed to the continuous supply of technological innovations and the precise identification of users' pain points. At the 2026 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that just opened in Las Vegas, ChinaSepa showcased its latest technological achievements in the field of window cleaning robots - WindowBot W3 OMNI, once again defining the new standard for intelligent window cleaning.
For a long time, cleaning of high-rise windows has been plagued by the problems of "difficulty, danger and fatigue". Starting from pioneering the category of window cleaning robots, and now establishing a leadership position globally, Kovo has always been committed to extending the capabilities of robots from a single function to a multi-ecosystem. The window cleaner W3 OMNI showcased at CES this time is equipped with a newly upgraded multi-functional base station and introduces the groundbreaking "super spin power cleaning technology". This innovative technical solution automatically rinses the window cleaning cloth and dissolves stubborn stains, completely solving the problem of the need for frequent manual intervention to clean the cleaning cloth in traditional high-altitude cleaning, achieving a true "hand-free" experience.
The launch of the WindowGuard W3 OMNI marks a significant evolution of window cleaning robots from their initial auxiliary tools to "essential" smart appliances with mature base station systems and the ability to independently complete closed-loop cleaning. This not only confirms Kovo's profound technical accumulation in perception, planning, and cleaning systems, but also further promotes this category from its rapid growth stage to a mature phase, bringing more efficient and intelligent cleaning experiences to global users.
Brand concept upgrade: "Creating nothing impossible" to embody long-termism
In addition to its strong product capabilities and market data, the new brand concept released by Ecovacs at the 2026 CES - "ECOVACS, Created for Ease" - also provides a deeper strategic guideline for its layout in the window cleaning robot sector.
Qowoz Group's vice chairman and CEO of Qowoz Robotics, Qian Cheng, stated at the CES event: "Starting from the goal of 'making intelligent cleaning simpler', Qowoz is entering a new stage of brand development through forward-looking technological planning." He emphasized that this concept not only conveys Qowoz's aspiration to use the service of robots as a medium to create a world without difficulties, eliminating the trivialities and troubles in life, but also showcases Qowoz's responsibility as an industry leader - always driven by an unyielding creative spirit, by scientifically breaking down problems and actively promoting technological and experience innovation, to return ease to daily life.
For window cleaning robots, their core value lies in using technological means to solve the typical challenging and risky scenario of cleaning high-rise windows, allowing users to be relieved from the heavy household chores and enjoy modern life more calmly. Currently, Kovo products have covered nearly 180 major markets worldwide and serve over 38 million families globally. Obtaining dual certifications from IDC and AVC is a powerful proof of Kovo's technological accumulation over the past two decades, and it is also an important milestone on its way to the "all-scenario service robot" era.
In the future, under the leadership of the brand concept "Kovos, Making Difficult Things Easy", Kovos will continue to fulfill its mission of "Making robots serve everyone", continuously expand the boundaries of innovation in service robots, and use intelligent technology to fulfill the expectations and imagination of global users for a convenient life.
