Chinese firms outpace US rivals in 2025 humanoid robot shipments, as AgiBot takes lead



According to data released on Thursday by Omdia, AgiBot shipped 5,168 humanoid robots last year to lead five other Chinese companies in the research firm’s top 10 list.

Unitree Robotics, headquartered in Hangzhou, ranked second with 4,200 humanoids shipped last year, which accounted for 32 per cent of the market.

Shipments worldwide jumped nearly 480 per cent in 2025 to 13,318 units, according to Omdia. It projected the volume to reach 2.6 million units in 2035.

“Chinese vendors are setting benchmarks in large-scale production, as they have reached thousand-unit shipments in a short period, enabling the deployment of tens of thousands of robots annually,” Omdia analyst Lian Jye Su said in the report.
