Chinese manufacturers accounted for more than 97% of global humanoid robot shipments in the first half of 2026, according to data from California-based research firm Smart Analytics Global. Worldwide shipments reached roughly 19,100 units in H1 2026, more than triple the 5,100 units shipped in the same period of 2025. The firm projects about 60,000 units for full-year 2026 and around half a million units annually by 2030. The figures point to an early Chinese lead over US competitors in the segment, with companies including AgiBot and Unitree cited in the underlying research.
