Humanoid Robots: 140 Companies, 330 Products, Fewer Than 10 Deployments
Two very different measurements of the same industry.
Two scopes
| Scope | Figure | What it counts |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial ecosystem (China) | 140+ integrators, 330+ products (2025) | Companies and product releases |
| Commercial maturity (McKinsey) | about 50 with stated ambitions; fewer than 10 at scale-pilot stage | Commercial readiness |
Why both matter
Model and prototype companies, integrators, volume manufacturers and commercially deployed suppliers are entirely different sets.
For buyers
Identify which stage a supplier is actually in before committing to a trial.
