In a stunning race for next-gen gear, the Chinese mainland zoomed past the U.S. to become the top producer of humanoid robots in 2025, according to a fresh report from tech consultancy Omdia. 🤖
Leading the pack is Shanghai-based AgiBot, which shipped over 5,100 units last year, grabbing a massive 39% share of the global humanoid robot market. Right on its heels are Hangzhou’s Unitree with 4,200 units and Shenzhen’s UBTECH with 1,000 units.
Each player has its own game plan: AgiBot and UBTECH are all about commercial and industrial uses (think warehouse automation and factory floors), while Unitree’s bots are flexing their skills in research labs, classrooms and even homes.
Why it matters: Humanoid robots are key to future workplaces, from carrying boxes to assisting in surgery. The Chinese mainland’s rapid rise shows how Asia’s tech scene is charging ahead, offering fresh opportunities for investors and innovators worldwide 🌏🤖.
Keep an eye on this trend—2026 could be the year robots really shake up our daily lives!
