China Dominates the Humanoid Robot Market

China’s Unitree Robotics stunned 1 billion viewers with fully autonomous kung-fu humanoid robots, available today for $16,000. Germany’s Chancellor visited Hangzhou, signaling the West is noticing. Unitree leads globally with 90% of shipments, 330+ models, and 140+ manufacturers, while Tesla’s Optimus remains in R&D and unavailable commercially. State support, aggressive pricing, and mass deployment mirror China’s EV strategy.
