Morgan Stanley raises China humanoid robot shipment forecast to 50,000 units

Morgan Stanley has significantly increased its forecast for humanoid robot shipments in China, now estimating 50,000 units for this year, up from a previous projection of 28,000. This adjustment, announced in a report on Tuesday, is attributed to factors such as commercial validation, supportive government policies, and positive supply-chain developments that are driving the adoption of humanoid robots. The investment bank had initially raised its estimate to 28,000 units in January, reflecting a growing interest among Chinese companies, including electric-vehicle manufacturer Xpeng, which have unveiled plans for mass production of these robots.
