Huo Xing Finance reports, according to Bloomberg citing data from Smart Analytics Global, global humanoid robot shipments in the first half of 2026 reached approximately 19,100 units, a year-over-year increase of over 200% (compared to about 5,100 units in the same period last year), with Chinese manufacturers accounting for more than 97%.
