en.Wedoany.com Reported - Data released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on July 20, 2026, shows that the country's intelligent robot industry maintained rapid growth in the first half of 2026. Quadruped robots accounted for nearly 70% of global sales, while humanoid robot products exceeded 400 models, representing more than half of the global total. During the same period, China saw the emergence of a number of global unicorn enterprises in fields such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, new energy, and biomedicine, and continued to contribute Chinese solutions to international standard development and industrial governance.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has become the world's largest market for industrial robots and an important research and development innovation hub. In the field of intelligent robots, the leading market share of quadruped robots reflects China's strong industrial competitiveness in core technologies such as robot motion control and environmental perception. The fact that humanoid robot products account for more than half of the global total indicates that China is in a phase of rapid development and product iteration in this emerging field.

Humanoid robots are considered the next generation of intelligent terminals following smartphones and new energy vehicles, with major economies worldwide accelerating their deployment. China has advantages in the industrial chain of core components such as servo motors, reducers, and sensors. Coupled with the rapid development of large-scale AI models, this provides technical support for the intelligent upgrade of humanoid robots. Currently, China's humanoid robot industry has moved from the laboratory research and development stage to the stage of scenario validation and small-batch trial production, with application scenarios covering multiple fields including industrial manufacturing, commercial services, education and scientific research, and household consumption.

In terms of regional distribution, cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou have formed humanoid robot industry clusters, bringing together a complete industrial chain of enterprises ranging from core components and complete machine manufacturing to software algorithms and scenario applications. At the same time, Chinese companies and research institutions are actively participating in the development of international standards for humanoid robots, promoting the establishment of technical specifications and testing evaluation systems. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that it will continue to promote the high-quality development of the intelligent robot industry, strengthen the research and development of key core technologies and the construction of the industrial ecosystem, and consolidate and enhance China's international competitiveness in the field of intelligent robots. The leading position in the number of humanoid robot products in the first half of the year reflects China's industrial scale advantages and rapid market response capabilities in this emerging technology field.
