Chinese companies control 90% of the humanoid robot market, dominating the technology that will reshape manufacturing and labor. The West is barely competing.
While Silicon Valley spent 2025 polishing its marketing decks for the humanoid future, China was busy shipping the robots.
Nearly 90% of all humanoid robots sold globally in 2025 were Chinese, and six of the highest-selling companies in the sector were from the East Asian country.
The humanoid robots industry is still in its infancy, but the early advantage accelerates China’s progress in research, development, and deployment, potentially locking in a commanding position — replicating the playbook that drove its electric vehicle success.
