China’s humanoid robot makers commanded more than 97% of global shipments in the first half of 2026, according to new industry data affirming the country’s early lead against US rivals in the burgeoning field. An important shift is also underway in how the robots are being used. “Industrial and commercial applications accounted for more than 70% of shipments, up from approximately 50% a year earlier,” said Linda Sui, founder and principal researcher at SAG. Regulatory uncertainty and geopolitical risks could shape the industry’s next phase of growth, Sui added.
