Chinese vendors accounted for over 97% of global humanoid robot shipments in the first half of 2026, with the industry seeing a rapid expansion and a surge of 116,000 new enterprises. This growth is driven by robust supply chains, increasing localization of core components, and a vast domestic market, pushing humanoid robots towards 100,000-unit mass production.
