China’s humanoid robot makers account for more than 97% of global shipments in the first half of 2026, according to industry figures reported by multiple outlets. The data indicate total worldwide shipments of about 19,100 units during the period.
Tech outlets also describe rapid growth compared with the same months in 2025, when shipments were roughly 5,100 units. The reporting breaks down leading suppliers within the global total: AgiBot is cited at about 8,400 units (around 44%), and Unitree at about 5,900 units. Bloomberg and TechNode both emphasize that China’s early advantage persists as the market expands, while the US and other rivals account for only a small share of shipments in this period.
Across the articles, the main differences are presentation and emphasis: Bloomberg focuses on China’s dominance versus US competitors, while TechNode provides additional shipment totals and named company shares.
