US EditionChina Targets 100,000 Humanoid Robots in 2026 Production Push
China leads humanoid robot production with over 80% of 2025 global installations and rapid factory deployments supported by state-backed scale-up and AI advances.
- This year, Chinese robotics firms are ramping up humanoid production, with China accounting for over 80% of global installations and Eyou Robot Technology opening a new automated line in Shanghai.
- Control of key components and EV-driven scale means China's industrial policy has created economies of scale, enabling rapid robotics manufacturing growth.
- Rising shipment figures show faster volume gains for Chinese firms, with humanoid robots from four companies performing on Feb. 16's Spring Festival Gala and Unitree shipping roughly 36 times more units last year.
- Humanoids could automate entire supply chains and repetitive work, already aiding eldercare facilities with tireless labor, but safety remains a major hurdle that could spark backlash after one accident.
- Analysts see a multitrillion-dollar market by 2050 as global shipment figures rose just to 13,317 last year but could hit 2.6 million by 2035, while U.S. firms lead in software and simulation.
