Beijing, Jan. 11 (SANA) Chinese firms dominated the global market for human-like robots in 2025, both in shipments and market share, according to a new report by research company Omdia.
The report, “Radar of the Embodied Robotics Market for General Purposes,” cited by Xinhua, said the industry entered a phase of rapid growth last year, with total annual shipments expected to reach around 13,000 units.
The market leader was Chinese technology innovator Agibot, which shipped 5,168 units in 2025, accounting for 39% of the global market, followed by Unitary Technology.
The study highlighted the growing integration of generative artificial intelligence with robotics. This development is driving the creation of “general embodied intelligence,” robots that can learn and adapt to a variety of environments.
Looking ahead, the human-like robot market is expected to expand significantly over the next decade, with global shipments projected to reach about 2.6 million units by 2035.
Last month, China also launched the world’s first global app store dedicated to human-like robots, signaling further growth and innovation in the sector.
