Global Humanoid Robot Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Humanoid Robot market size is expected to reach $ 42980 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 55.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
In 2024, the global production of humanoid robots will be 71,214 units (including small humanoid robots), with an average price of US$6,480 per unit.
A humanoid robot is a robot with its body shape built to resemble the human body. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots also have heads designed to replicate human facial features such as eyes and mouths. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans.
As the core carrier for humanoid robots to realize anthropomorphic functions, the limb system integrates cutting-edge technologies from multiple disciplines, such as mechanical engineering, material science, and electronic control. Its technical architecture is mainly composed of actuators, sensor systems, power supplies, and new materials. The collaborative innovation of each subsystem is driving the industry into a stage of explosive growth.
1. The actuator includes rotary actuator, linear actuator and end effector.
The core components of rotary actuator: frameless torque motor, planetary reducer and harmonic reducer, etc. Using the golden combination of "motor + reducer", there are currently two mainstream technical routes: one is to use a high-torque motor with a low-reduction ratio planetary reducer. This solution has certain cost advantages and is a relatively economical solution, suitable for scenes with low precision requirements; the other is to integrate a high-speed low-torque motor + harmonic reducer. This solution is more expensive, but the robot's motion control is relatively accurate. In the field of precision reducers, the current suppliers that can provide solutions for humanoid robots include Harmonic Drive, Nabtesco, Leader Harmonious Drive Systems Co., Ltd, Zhejiang Laifual Drive Co., Ltd, Nidec Drive Technology, Shenzhen With Sichuan Technology Co., Ltd, Shenzhen PICEA Motion Technology, etc.
Linear actuators are mainly components that realize linear motion such as extension, such as lead screws. A humanoid robot may use 2-3 types of lead screws, such as the Tesla Optimus, which uses trapezoidal lead screws and planetary roller screws. The cost and performance of each type are quite different, among which planetary roller screws are the mainstream direction in the future, but the current cost is relatively high.
The end effector is mainly a dexterous hand. According to the number of fingers, there are two fingers, three fingers, four fingers and five fingers. Technical miniaturization and multi-degree of freedom are the key trends in the future. The characteristics of multi-degree of freedom enable the human hand to flexibly complete various grasping tasks and delicate and complex operations.
2. In terms of humanoid robot sensors, there are many types involved, including inertial measurement units (IMUs), visual sensors, tactile sensors, six-dimensional force sensors, joint torque sensors, etc. Their core functions are mainly to achieve complex perception functions. Technically, high precision, multi-dimensionality, and high integration are the mainstream trends in the future.
3. In terms of robot materials, lightweight materials are the focus. With lightweight materials, humanoid robots have higher flexibility and work efficiency, and also ensure the safety of the human-robot collaboration process. For example, the Tesla Optimus G2 humanoid robot uses PEEK material to reduce weight, and its walking speed is 30% higher than that of the Optimus G1.
4. Judging from the current market situation, most humanoid robots have only realized basic interactive capabilities such as walking, running, and jumping, and the realization of specific functions in specific scenarios is still under exploration. In the future, the direction of humanoid robots is to replace or assist humans in completing various tasks, and will play an important role in various application scenarios.
5. Globally, humanoid robot suppliers mainly come from China, the United States and Japan, of which Chinese companies account for 51% and the United States accounts for about 23%. In terms of market competition, the mainstream suppliers are still robot companies, such as Unitree Robotics and UBTECH Robotics Inc in China; Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics (Hyundai), Figure AI in the United States, etc. In addition, there are some cross-border companies, such as Tesla, Xiaomi, Xiaopeng, etc.
6. The current humanoid robot industry has crossed the technological embryonic stage and officially entered a period of rapid expansion. This high-speed expansion trend is triggering a deep reconstruction of the industrial structure, showing a typical "dual-track competition" feature:
In the mainstream track, leading companies with full-stack technology integration capabilities are accelerating the construction of competitive barriers. Such companies often hold three core chips - motion control algorithms that have undergone iterative verification, vertically integrated supply chain systems, and large-scale manufacturing capabilities. They continuously optimize the synergistic efficiency of reducers, motors, and drivers, compressing the BOM cost of the entire machine to below the industry average, forming a Matthew effect in the general humanoid robot market. In the segmented track, start-ups and cross-border players are competing with the strategy of "breaking through the segmented market". Such companies focus on specific scenario needs: such as medical assistance, educational companionship scenarios, etc. This differentiation trend is essentially the result of the resonance between technology maturity and market demand, and the market will eventually present a "pyramid" structure.
