In 2025, nearly 90% of humanoid robots sold globally were from China, with companies like Unitree and Agibot leading the market. While Tesla and other American firms lag behind, analysts note that China's advantage stems from strong state support and a robust supply chain. The humanoid robotics market is projected to grow significantly, reaching $38 billion by 2035.

China's Unitree R1 humanoid robot is now available for under $6,000, making advanced robotics more accessible to consumers and businesses. This price point positions the R1 as a competitive option in the growing market for humanoid robots, highlighting advancements in technology and affordability.
