In 2023, the “Humanoid Robot First” initiative has gained significant attention among scholars and researchers. As of April 3, 2026, it is reported that the humanoid robot industry is expected to reach a market size of 1.5 trillion yuan, with the highest potential projected at 1.24 trillion yuan.
The industry is anticipated to focus on humanoid robots and intelligent body technologies, particularly in areas like perception, language, and action models, as well as foundational models for robotics. These advancements are aimed at promoting the development of intelligent humanoid robots in various practical applications, including commercial services and household assistance.
According to recent data, the market for humanoid robots is projected to grow significantly. By the end of 2025, the market is expected to reach 49.2 billion yuan. The primary focus will be on enhancing humanoid robot capabilities and expanding their applications in different sectors.
Additionally, due to the increasing demand for humanoid robots, the market for intelligent robotics is expected to see a growth rate of approximately 12.77% from January to February 2026, with AI positions also growing at a similar rate, resulting in a projected market size of 60,738 yuan.
Moreover, the humanoid robot industry is becoming a major revenue driver for many companies. By 2025, the market for intelligent humanoid robots (specifically those above 160 cm in height) is expected to generate revenues reaching 8.2 billion yuan, marking an increase of 2203.7% from previous years. The estimated average price for these robots will be around 760,000 yuan each.
As the demand for skilled professionals in this field grows, companies are actively seeking talented individuals. For example, in Shanghai, an artificial intelligence company recently reported that they were looking to hire personnel with expertise in robotics and AI, receiving multiple offers for a single position.
The employment landscape for AI and robotics is evolving rapidly. From January to February 2026, the hiring demand in the AI sector is projected to grow by 12%. This surge is driven by the increasing number of enterprises looking to optimize their operations through automation and intelligent systems.
In conclusion, the humanoid robot industry is on a significant upward trajectory, with a strong focus on technological advancements and market expansion. The projected growth in market size and demand for skilled professionals suggests a bright future for this sector.
