Since the end of 2025, a number of industry institutions and enterprises have released forecasts on the development of the special-purpose vehicle industry in 2026, believing that the industry's evolution direction shows clear certainty. Intelligentization and in-depth scenario integration will become the core paths for enterprises to break through, and the industry is transforming from "manufacturing tools" to "intelligent high-end equipment".

Industry insiders pointed out that in 2025, the special-purpose vehicle industry has completed the transformation from single-driven by policy subsidies to dual-driven by "full-life-cycle cost advantages" and "intelligent efficiency improvement". The core business gross profit of some unmanned special-purpose vehicle enterprises turned positive for the first time, marking that the industry has entered the stage of "value creation" from "money-burning investment". In the future, enterprises need to focus on deep cultivation of segmented scenarios, improve product competitiveness through algorithm optimization and technological iteration, and promote business model upgrading from single vehicle sales to full-life-cycle operation services. In addition, the integration models of "special vehicles + emergency response" and "special vehicles + low-altitude economy" will be accelerated, and special-purpose vehicles will become key mobile nodes in smart cities and emergency systems.
