The Asia-Pacific region was identified as leading global market growth, and China's humanoid robot market is expected to expand from USD 400 million in 2025 to USD 2.8 billion in 2030, with Unitree Robotics, Agibot and UBTECH cited as key companies.
According to MarketsandMarkets' report, "Humanoid Robot Market Size, Share and Trends," the global humanoid robot market is expected to grow from USD 5.41 billion in 2026 to USD 50.27 billion in 2035, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.1%. The article focuses on the rapid expansion of the global humanoid robot market.
Against this backdrop, the competitiveness of Chinese robotics companies is being assessed as rapidly strengthening. Chinese companies have price competitiveness and technological competitiveness as core strengths, and their product development speed is also improving based on local value chains in China. Their improved precision-task capabilities and expanding market influence are also being noted, and their influence in the global market is expected to grow further going forward.
The drivers behind market expansion include automation demand stemming from labor shortages, companies' needs to improve productivity, and technological advances. As a result, manufacturing and retail were identified as the sectors most likely to see the fastest automation deployment. In manufacturing, adoption is expected to expand around assembly support, material handling and inspection, centered on repetitive and labor-intensive tasks. In logistics, adoption is also expected to broaden in material movement and goods handling, centered on repetitive work.
In the global humanoid robot market, the Asia-Pacific region was singled out as the area leading market growth. The region's global market share during the period is projected to exceed 50%. This is because a strong robotics manufacturing ecosystem, increased automation investment and rapid commercialization centered on China, Japan and South Korea were cited as growth drivers.
A high-growth outlook for the Chinese market was also presented. The size of China's humanoid robot market is projected to expand from USD 400 million in 2025 to USD 2.8 billion in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 47.6%. Key Chinese companies in the global humanoid robot market include Unitree Robotics, Agibot and UBTECH.
Companies pursuing humanoid robot businesses in South Korea said the competitiveness of Chinese robotics firms is rising rapidly. These companies are securing competitiveness in new robotics fields such as collaborative robots, humanoids and autonomous mobile robots (AMR), and are seen as having price and technological advantages. They are also showing strengths in product development speed and new product creation speed based on local value chains.
An official from Bigwave Robotics said Chinese robots are highly competitive in collaborative robot, humanoid and AMR fields, and also strong in price competitiveness and technology. The official added that they are competitive in terms of local value chains and fast product development as well, explaining that the broader value chain is in place in the region and that product development and prototype launches are very fast. Against that backdrop, the company said it is currently considering cooperation with local firms rather than entering the Chinese market directly, and noted on the technology side that humanoid task precision continues to become more sophisticated.
