Global humanoid robot shipments surpassed 22,000 units in the first half of 2026, marking a nearly 300% increase from the previous year, according to Counterpoint Research. AGIBOT led the market with 9,700 units, capturing a 43.1% share, while Unitree Robotics followed with over 7,000 units, representing 31.1% of the market.
This surge in shipments highlights a rapidly evolving market landscape, with the top five manufacturers accounting for approximately 86% of total deliveries. AGIBOT's diverse product strategy, including its A-series, X-series, and G-series, has contributed to its leading position. However, the industry faces ongoing debates regarding the definition of humanoid robots, particularly concerning the inclusion of hybrid and wheeled systems.
Looking ahead, the competition among manufacturers is intensifying, with Unitree focusing on bipedal humanoids and planning to expand its production capabilities. Other players like Galbot and UBTECH are also diversifying their offerings to enhance their market presence. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
